Q & A

I do not take a traditional approach to psychotherapy.

I am proactive, motivational, and solution-focused.  I have an easy conversational style believing in a collaborative approach that offers encouragement mixed with giving you that gentle “kick” to move things forward. Setting goals, having a vision for oneself is key but just as imperative is the ability to take small baby steps and be “in action” toward attaining your goals.

Simply put, psychotherapy is a process, not a to-do list. We look at what’s going on in your life, and what you want to be different. But I believe you already have these answers. Although the past is important, it brought you to where you are now and it’s the NOW we will focus on and the thoughts that you’ve brought from your past that are keeping you stuck in your present.  Those are the barriers from moving into your tomorrow. I believe you already know what you want, where you want to go and together we unpack what’s keeping you. from stepping into that. 

I would rather ask “Who can’t benefit from therapy?”. From having someone who is outside of your friends and family, who can provide you with a space that is non-judgmental, where you can show up fully, imperfections and all.  We all have had challenging thoughts and emotions that are less than pleasant to contend with. Most of us struggle with self-sabotaging and self-limiting thoughts that cause us to doubt ourselves. And in doing so, we aren’t fully showing up for ourselves or others.

I’ve been providing online services since 2015. You have a million things on your plate and already deal with commuting from here to there. Take a breather, find a comfortable location that is peaceful for you, and let’s connect outside of formal office walls.

My clients have been receiving online therapy with me since 2015.  I use a HIPAA compliant, private, and confidential online platform, through Doxy.me.  You may view the link here:   https://drjoanneroyer.com/telehealth-virtual-line-services/

Teletherapy sessions are scheduled and take place in the comfort and privacy of your own home or office which enables you to make the most productive use out of the hours in your day.  At the time of our initial consultation call, we will explore which format would be most beneficial.

Each client is on their own individual journey, and we will always have an on-going conversation as to when you feel ready to terminate. I do suggest a 3-month commitment as any change takes time. There are no quick-fix remedies and I would suggest investing the time in you.

Please do!  I am already looking forward to it.

I do not offer a sliding fee but do have limited reduced fee times set aside. Please feel free to ask if there are any openings for my reduced fee.

I provide a group “From Doubt to Daring”, a small group community, several times throughout the year which may provide you with some cost savings. Please feel free to ask me about this availability.

I do work with a limited number of insurance companies. I am considered an out-of-network provider with most PPO Plans. Payment is made by the client at the time of the session, and if you choose, insurance will reimburse you a percentage of the session cost.  Insurance providers typically reimburse 50-80% of session costs and I can provide a “superbill” in order to submit this at your request. Insurance plan coverage varies widely, so please check with your provider via phone or online for specific coverage and rates of reimbursement.

My clients prefer a personalized higher level of service that is not dictated by the tight restraints of in-network managed care. With us, you control your confidentiality and whether your information is released to your insurance. Insurance providers require a diagnosis for payment and keep records of treatment, which may not be beneficial to some of our clients based on their profession or other factors.
