Shift Theory Counseling
ONLINE and Cleveland Based
Individual Therapy for Adults, Couples Therapy and Mental Health / Substance Use Assessments
Intake Process
My intake process is designed to be simple and straightforward. Clients can book an intake assessment directly through the "Request Appointment" section of my website. Once an appointment is scheduled, they will receive all necessary intake paperwork, including policies, an intake questionnaire, and forms for credit card and insurance information. My schedule is always up-to-date, and I make an effort to communicate promptly with all referrals. My webpage also allows for secure messaging services once a client schedules an appointment and becomes active with my practice.
In Office vs Telehealth
I offer in-person sessions in Lakewood/Cleveland, Ohio. All services are also available via telehealth for individuals residing in Ohio, with the exception of EMDR, which I conduct strictly in person. Clients who opt-in receive text and email reminders to confirm appointments, complete documentation, and access their telehealth link.

Sliding Scale Options Available
Superbills For Insurance Reimbursement
For out-of-network clients, I can provide superbills for submission to their insurance for potential reimbursement. I also maintain a limited number of sliding scale spots for individuals experiencing financial hardship who could benefit from services. Please note that sliding scale payments are not eligible for a superbill and are discussed on a case-by-case basis.

Intake Assessment: $200
Individual Psychotherapy Session: $150
