Behaviors are the outward expression of our emotions and impulses. Big picture, behavior therapy is all about promoting desired behaviors and reducing unwanted ones. Behavior therapy recognizes that all behaviors are learned and have a function - interventions aim to validate and address the dysfunction within the function and change your thoughts/emotions/behaviors.

Behavior therapy is action-oriented and most successful when the work continues in-between sessions. Clients keep a working agenda throughout the week to use session time most efficiently. Before sessions, it’s helpful to take a few minutes to collect yourself in a mindfulness practice.

During in-person sessions, clients will be able to view the week’s agenda and collaborating work on a smart board in the room. During remote sessions, clients will be invited into the interactive whiteboard on their device and can follow along during the Zoom session.

After every session, all notes will be sent via email/text for your files to reference for future needs.

Any session that is rescheduled or cancelled within 48 hours of the appointment, including initial consultations, are subject to the fee for the full cost of the session by the client.

We are an out-of-network provider and do not take insurance. Please refer to the insurance page for more information on how to calculate anticipated reimbursement and other details.

All sessions are private pay and payment is rendered at the time of service. Before the initial consultation, you will receive paperwork requesting for a credit card to be placed on file in a HIPAA-secure EHR platform. After each session, you will receive a completed invoice, and at the end of each month you will receive a super bill showing all completed payments that can be submitted to insurance for reimbursement.

Remiges values the importance of maintaining client confidentiality. When clients are minors, parents are instructed to provide information via email with the client cc’d, or in-person with the client present. The clinician will acknowledge this information was shared and incorporate it into the treatment plan and session with the client, but will not similarly disclose client information to the parent. This includes typical teenage behaviors.

If there is a cause for significant concern to the client’s safety and wellbeing, the client and clinician will have a conversation about the need to increase parent involvement.
