I RISE Therapy

Telehealth means we meet remotely via the internet through the Secure Client Portal, which you can access through your personal account.

You will need a smartphone, laptop, desktop, or tablet with a secure internet connection & video calling capabilities (i.e. camera & audio enabled). Using a pair of headphones or earbuds is also recommended.

Yes, it is HIPAA compliant as I use the Simple Practice platform that offers you your own personal, secure account to do electronic paperwork, billing, booking, etc. Also, Simple Practice has a free, secure app to make it even more convenient for you to do your telehealth video sessions and more!

No, not at this time. I RISE Therapy sessions are conducted via telehealth through the Secure Client Portal.

As a Wisconsin Licensed Professional Counselor, I am licensed only to see people who are physically present in the state of Wisconsin at the time of our telehealth therapy session. So, if you are not physically in the state of Wisconsin at the time of your telehealth therapy session, then I RISE Therapy is not available to you. Sorry, it's the rules.

Unfortunately, as the law currently stands, there is no alternative for us to work together in therapy. You will need to find another therapist that is licensed to provide therapy where you live in your jurisdiction. A simple online search of "therapists near me" in your preferred web browser should yield you some results. 

A private space or room in your home works great to maintain your confidentiality, privacy, and focus - and using headphones or earbuds can be helpful, too. 

No, I do not accept health insurance as a form of payment for therapy sessions. 

The cost is $100 for a 45-minute I RISE Therapy session via telehealth/online.

Reach out to me via the Contact section and we can discuss trying to find a payment amount that fits better for you.

Credit or debit cards (no checks) are accepted via the payment method you input in your personal account you make in the Secure Client Portal.

Yes, so long as you can input your HSA card information as your payment method in lieu of a credit/debit card in your personal account.

Your credit, debit, or HSA card that you input in your account as your payment method will be billed after each completed telehealth therapy session - not before.

All cancelations must be done more than 24 hours in advance before your scheduled appointment time. Any cancelations made within 24 hours or less of your scheduled appointment time will be charged a cancelation fee of $50 to your payment method on file.

Each telehealth therapy session is 45 minutes in length.

Write it down. Take a moment to recap some of the main takeaways you got from today's therapy session. It gives you something tangible to reference in-between sessions that can help your mind refocus & grow towards your mental health goals. 

It depends on your life availability, my work availability, etc. But most people find meeting weekly or bi-weekly to be a good fit for them. If you go any longer in-between therapy sessions, then it can be harder to maintain progress and easier to regress or plateau.
