In-Person Quality with Online Convenience and Consistency
I understand that the schedules of modern teenagers and their parents can be packed. Although nothing beats the superior quality of in-person psychotherapy, online psychotherapy is unmatched in terms of convenience. Not having to make it to all sessions in-person enhances the experience by facilitating consistency in treatment—a necessary requirement for a good outcome. It also reduces driving and time management stress for parents. Visit the My Approach to Counseling page to learn more about how I got into online psychotherapy. ​​​

Common Questions from Parents
What happens during the intial consultation? The initial consultation is a one-hour meet-and-greet designed for Miguel to understand your teenager’s unique situation. He meets with the parents first (or together, depending on the family’s preference), followed by time with the teenager. By the end, you’ll receive personalized treatment recommendations, a clear understanding of what therapy would look like, and an honest assessment of whether Miguel is the right fit for your family.
Why doesn't Miguel accept insurance? Private pay psychotherapy is a deliberate choice that protects your family. Insurance companies require a formal mental health diagnosis — which becomes part of your teen’s permanent medical record and can affect future insurance eligibility, security clearances, and certain career paths. Insurance also dictates session frequency, treatment duration, and even the types of therapy allowed. Private pay ensures that every clinical decision is made exclusively between Miguel and your family — with no outside interference and the highest level of confidentiality.
