Yes. I work with clients who are using Pennsylvania’s Victims Compensation Assistance Program (VCAP) to help cover eligible counseling expenses.VCAP may reimburse eligible therapy expenses, including certain out-of-network costs. Because each claim is different, clients should confirm their eligibility and authorization with VCAP. I can provide the documentation required for your claim and work with VCAP as needed throughout the reimbursement process.If you are planning to use VCAP for therapy, please reach out before scheduling so we can discuss the process and make sure we have everything needed to get started.Victim’s Compensation Assistance ProgramPennsylvania offers financial support of up to $10,000 for survivors of sexual assault and abuse, and other crimes.

The frequency of therapy is individualized based on your needs, goals, and what feels manageable for you. Most clients begin with weekly sessions to build momentum and establish a strong foundation, while some may benefit from meeting more or less frequently. This is something you can discuss with your individual therapist and made the decision that is best for your work together. As therapy progresses, we can also adjust the frequency together based on your progress, current needs, and goals.
