Frequently Asked Questions

Do you take insurance?

Foundational Waves Therapy is a private pay practice and does not bill insurance directly.

Do you provide superbills?

Yes, superbills may be available for families who would like to pursue possible out-of-network reimbursement. Coverage and reimbursement depend on your individual insurance plan.

What ages do you work with?

Services are geared toward young children, generally around ages 1-10, along with the caregivers and families who support them.

Do parents participate in treatment?

Often, yes. Especially with young children, caregiver involvement is an important part of the process. Depending on your child's needs, treatment may include parent coaching, family involvement, or direct support for caregivers alongside child-focused work.

What is parent coaching?

Parent coaching is a collaborative service designed to help caregivers better understand their child's behavior, strengthen routines, and use practical strategies with more confidence and consistency.

What is the difference between therapy and behavioral consultation?

Therapy may focus more broadly on emotional, behavioral, and relational concerns, while behavioral consultation is often more targeted toward understanding behavior patterns and developing practical support strategies. In many cases, these areas overlap, and recommendations are based on what best fits your child and family.

What does in-home or community-based support mean?

These services take place in natural settings where challenges occur most often, such as the home or community. This can be helpful when children need support with routines, transitions, outings, or practicing skills in real-life situations.

Do you offer telehealth?

Yes. Telehealth is available for families located in Connecticut and can be a good fit for parent coaching, consultations, and certain therapy services.

How long are sessions?

Session length may vary depending on the service provided, but many ongoing sessions are 60 minutes.

What are your fees?

Current fees are:

  • Intake session: $200
  • Telehealth sessions: $125
  • In-home/community sessions: $175/hour
Do you offer in-home or community-based services throughout Connecticut?

In-home and community-based services are primarily offered in the greater Wallingford area and surrounding communities. Services may be available based on clinical appropriateness, location, and clinician availability.

How long are in-home and community-based sessions?

In-home and community-based sessions may extend beyond 60 minutes depending on clinical need and the nature of the service. These services are billed at the hourly rate, with partial hours prorated.

How do I know if this is a good fit for my family?

A consultation is a good place to start. We can talk through your concerns, your goals, and whether my services seem like the right fit for your child and family.

Are your services only for children with autism?

No. Families may seek support for a wide range of emotional, behavioral, developmental, or relational concerns. Services are individualized and not limited to one diagnosis or concern area.
