Question 1

Do you prescribe medication?

Accepted Answer

As a psychologist, I do not prescribe medications.

Depending on the circumstances, I may recommend medication, or at least a medication evaluation.  If interested in using medication in conjunction with psychotherapy, I would refer you to a prescriber such as a psychiatrist or primary care provider.  We could talk about the option that makes the most sense for you.  I am happy to work collaboratively with many other providers in the area. If I do make a referral for medication, and if you prefer not to use this treatment option, I will absolutely respect your decision.  To me, the most important part of the process is that your choice is an educated one.

Question 2

Is your office private?

Accepted Answer

My waiting area is separate from the exit to my office, which reduces the chance of crossing paths with other people. In addition, there is a quiet side entrance into the building.

Question 3

Is your office handicapped accessible?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  There is a ramp to the main entrance and an elevator to the second floor. You would need to go through the Pompanoosuc store or Tacos and Tequila restaurant to access the elevator.

Question 4

Do you offer telehealth?

Accepted Answer

If you have privacy and a good internet connection, I can provide telehealth.  I create a link to meet virtually through a HIPAA (The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliant platform called Simple Practice.  It is a lot like using Zoom, but has better privacy protection.
