FAQs
How long can I expect to be in therapy?
1
There is no definitive answer to this question. Although it is safe to say that more than a session or two is necessary to make any headway on what brings someone in, some individuals find a few sessions are sufficient, while others choose to continue long-term (over 20 sessions).
Often people choose to continue to work with me through additional items as they arise, while others may choose to address additional items outside of the therapeutic context. There isn't a blueprint to answer this, but we can collaborate together to help you make the best choice for yourself.
What if you are not in-network for my insurance?

If I am not in network for your insurance plan, this may not necessarily mean your insurance will not cover our sessions. Some plans have what is called “out-of-network” (OON) provider coverage. In this situation your OON benefits would help cover a portion of our sessions.
This process would work differently since I cannot submit claims and be directly reimbursed. How reimbursement would work in this situation is you would pay me directly at the time of our session. Afterwards I can provide you with a receipt for services called a “superbill.” You would then be able to submit this form to your insurance company yourself and they will reimburse you for a portion of our session.
If you have questions about OON coverage, I am happy to help explore if your plan has such coverage prior to us starting therapy sessions.
What if I cannot afford your rate?

Don’t let my rate discourage you from reaching out. I’ve found that more often than not I am able to come up with a mutually acceptable arrangement with most people.
If this ends up not being the case, I am able to refer out therapists who can accommodate your insurance or financial situation.
How can I contact you?

You can reach out to me at 781-277-7292 via call or text or via email at mark.leone@leonecounseling.com. I aim to respond within 2 business days.
If life has shifted in ways you never expected — through illness, caregiving, or the demands of helping others — you don’t have to carry it alone. Therapy can provide a steady, supportive space to process what you’re going through. I welcome you to reach out when you feel ready.
