What to Expect
Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you have never worked with a therapist before. My goal is to make the process as simple and straightforward as possible.
Step 1: Get in Touch
The easiest way to contact me is by text message, email, or through the Get in Touch form on my website. I use a dedicated business number for client communication and personally respond to all inquiries. I am happy to answer questions about services, insurance, scheduling, or whether my practice may be a good fit for your needs.
Step 2: Access the Client Portal
If you would like to move forward, I will send you a secure link to the client portal. Within the portal, you will be able to:
Step 3: Your First Appointment
Unlike many medical offices, I do not ask clients to complete lengthy forms describing every detail of their concerns before the first session. The assessment process takes place during our initial appointments, where we will discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and how I can best help. The first few sessions focus on understanding your concerns, gathering relevant background information, and developing a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Questions Before Scheduling?
Some clients prefer to schedule an appointment immediately, while others would like a brief conversation beforehand. If you have questions or would like to speak with me before scheduling your first appointment, I am happy to arrange a short phone consultation when appropriate.
Insurance & Payment
Marie Foster is in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Aetna, and Cigna.
Insurance benefits vary by plan. Deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, and authorization requirements are determined by your insurance company and may affect your out of pocket costs. If you plan to use insurance, I encourage you to contact your insurance company prior to your first appointment to verify your mental health benefits and determine your financial responsibility.
Private pay options are also available for clients who prefer not to use insurance.
