Additional Information
about Counseling
Duration and Length of Sessions
Therapy sessions for individual clients occur one to two times per week for 50 minutes. Couples sessions occur once a week or once every other week for 60 to 90 minutes. Sessions are typically scheduled on the same day and time each week, but more flexible arrangements are also available. When a client is in crisis, additional sessions may be arranged on short notice. Length of treatment varies with each client. Depending on your goals and participation, counseling may help you feel somewhat better in a few weeks, though deeper change will take a longer period of time.

Finding the Right Counselor
It is essential that you work with a counselor with whom you feel comfortable. At the first session, you and your therapist will begin to get to know each other and get a feel as to whether or not you would work well together. This is an initial opportunity for you to tell your therapist about your reasons for wanting to start counseling, as well as for you to ask questions you might have. If for whatever reason you would like to find a different counselor, you will be provided with a list of referrals to other English-speaking counselors and mental health professionals in the surrounding area.
Professional Fee
Please contact Maura directly to inquire about her professional fees.​​
Some private German health insurance companies and some international health insurance companies reimburse all or a portion of Maura's fee; it is recommended that you check with your own health insurance provider to determine their reimbursement policies. At your request, she will give you an invoice that you may submit to your health insurance company for reimbursement purposes.​​​​
