During this time, we can both decide if I am the best person to provide the services you need in order to meet your treatment goals.\u00a0 If psychotherapy is begun, I will usually schedule one 50-minute session per week at a time we agree on, although some sessions may be more frequent.\u00a0<br><br><strong>Availability<\/strong>\u00a0<br>I may be reached at 301-706-8040 if you need to contact me between sessions.\u00a0 You may leave a confidential and detailed message and I will return your call as soon as I am able, within 24 hours.\u00a0 If you are unable to reach me and feel that you can&#8217;t wait for me to return your call, contact your family physician or the nearest emergency room and ask for the psychologist on call.\u00a0\u00a0<br><br><strong>Billing Policy<\/strong><br>I charge an hourly rate for each 50 minute session.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>I require payment at the time of service.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0At the end of each month, I will provide you with a receipt of the month&#8217;s services and the total amount paid.\u00a0 You may seek out of network reimbursement through your insurance policy. <br><br><strong>Cancellation Policy<\/strong><br>In the event that you need to cancel an appointment, please let me know as far in advance as possible, but at least 24 hours ahead.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Because the appointment time is reserved for you, it is necessary to charge for appointments which are not cancelled 24 hours in advance.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<br><br><strong>Minors and Parents<\/strong><br>If you are under 18 years of age, please be aware that the law may provide your parents the right to examine your treatment records.\u00a0 It is my policy to request an agreement from parents to respect the confidentiality of your therapeutic disclosures.\u00a0 The effectiveness of psychotherapy depends on the patient&#8217;s sense of trust and safety in the therapeutic relationship so that the patient is willing to honestly address problems.\u00a0 If parents agree, I will provide them only with general information about our work together and your progress.\u00a0 I will, however, notify parents if I feel there is a high risk that you will seriously harm yourself or someone else.\u00a0 Before giving parents any information, I will discuss the matter with you, if possible, and do my best to handle any objections you may have with what I am prepared to discuss.<br><br><strong>Medication<\/strong>\u00a0<br>At times, the level, duration, or nature of a patient&#8217;s distress is such that the use of medication appears to be indicated.\u00a0 Should this situation arise, you and I will discuss the symptoms and circumstances that indicate that medication may be useful or necessary.\u00a0 I work with several psychiatrists in the area and we routinely collaborate on issues of medication, ensuring that your specific needs are met and ensuring continuity of care.\u00a0 If medication is indicated, you would typically use the services of a psychiatrist who serves as a &#8220;medication consultant&#8221; while continuing psychological treatment with me.<br><br>Please feel free to contact me with other questions about the process of psychological treatment and the procedures of my practice.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robyn B.
