Where are you located?
I am a Florida Licensed Psychologist offering virtual and in-office services in the state of Florida.
I am approved to offer Telepsychology to those in approved PSYPACT states. Contact me to see if you are eligible!
Individual sessions are offered virtually. Couples, Families, and Groups are offered virtually or in-office.
What can I expect in my first session with Dr. Floyd?
I will begin our session by informing you of confidentiality. Then,
I will welcome you to share the concerns that have brought you to therapy.
After I get a sense of your concerns, I will ask several questions about
your past and present. I will inquire about family and social relationships,
as well as about your psychological and medical history. I will ask about
what you hope to change or experience through therapy. I will then provide
my clinical impressions and recommendations based on what you have told me. We will collaborate on goals and objectives for therapy.
Why don't you accept insurance?
I recognize the desire to utilize insurance benefits. Unfortunately, insurance companies require therapists to share private
information, including a diagnosis.
Once this information is shared, it is out of my hands, and yours. The
implications of sharing a diagnosis with an insurance carrier are varied and
complicated. I prefer to discuss your care and treatment
plan with you, and only you. That said, if you would like to use your benefits, I am happy to help. I will gladly provide a "Superbill" form that includes information required by most insurance companies to generate reimbursement to you. Reimbursements differ depending on your plan. It is
possible to receive between 50 and 80 percent of the total fee. Floyd Psychology does not make warranties or representations that insurance companies will reimburse or agree with coding choices. I have
created a list of questions for you to ask of your insurance company if you
are interested in this option. Please see the Cost and Insurance tab for details.
Do you include parents in treatment?
Yes! When a child or teen is struggling, I find that family involvement
accelerates progress. Dr. Floyd will provide specific parent training to match the needs of your teen or child. Dr. Floyd will equip you with skills and strategies to support therapy goals between sessions. I rely on regular reports of how your child or teen is
progressing. The information you provide is valuable to ongoing progress and treatment planning.
If you are seeking support for an Eating Disorder, family
involvement is crucial. I work closely with families so you can grow more united during recovery. Families will be
encouraged to actively participate in sessions, via modified FBT, or as otherwise determined.
How long does therapy take?
The length of time you work in therapy depends on many factors. Some people
will attend therapy for as little as 6 weeks, while others will attend
sessions for a year or more. Therapeutic goals are different for everyone.
Some people come to therapy with concerns that warrant solution-focused,
short-term therapy. Others come to therapy with concerns that require
emotion-focused, process oriented, long-term healing and recovery. Either
way, we will work together to determine your needs and desires for therapy.
I will regularly check in to see how you are progressing and where we need
to spend more time. I will also ask for your feedback about how I am doing
to help.
Do you offer evening appointments?
Yes. I offer appointments on 4 evenings per week.
Do you maintain a practice where I will feel like a number, speak only with a receptionist, wait for days for a returned call, and struggle to schedule an appointment?
Absolutely not. I am committed to personal, attentive, and responsive
therapy. I do my absolute best to maintain quality care. As such, I do
not overwhelm my schedule. In doing so, I am able to return calls within a
reasonable time, consult regularly with your other healthcare professionals,
participate in continuing education, and I can almost always add last-minute
appointments. I take great pride in providing a positive and healing
experience.
