The First Session
Getting Started
Telepsychology
COVID19 has profoundly impacted all aspects of our daily lives in tremendous ways. And, while the threat of COVID-19 is ongoing throughout the United States we have learned to live with it. Face-to-face therapy is always preferred. However, Dr. Boutelle will see patients using telehealth (typically via ZOOM). From the comfort of your home, you now have the assurance that your session will be safe, secure and confidential.
What to expect during the first session
During the first session Dr. Boutelle will listen to the issues that you are struggling with in your life. He will explore how long you have been experiencing these difficulties, their severity and the circumstances/interactions with others that they occur. Finally, he will share his impressions with you as to the possible origin of these difficulties and how his therapeutic philosophy and approach may be beneficial to alleviating you of these difficulties.
Office hours are daily Monday through Friday from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm.
Treatment
Psychotherapy treatment is usually provided in 50-minute sessions on a weekly basis. It can last from a few months to several years, depending upon the severity and history of the patient’s presenting problem, the chemistry between the patient and the psychologist and the patient’s financial circumstances.
Payment
Many insurance plans are accepted. For patients who have insurance plans which Dr. Boutelle is not a provider, payment is due at the end of each session. Patients may pay for their services by ZELLE or check. As a courtesy he will provide an invoice for services rendered which may be submitted directly to their insurance carrier for reimbursement.
A free half-hour consultation is offered to new patients.
