Frequently Asked Questions

  • I am considered an “out-of-network provider” on all insurance panels. If you have a PPO plan, you may be able to apply for out-of-network benefits using your insurance. I can help you walk through this process and can provide you with a “Super Bill” to give to your insurance company for any out-of-network benefits you may be eligible for on your plan.

  • Our office is conveniently located at 13706 N Hwy 183 in Northwest Austin. We offer in-office appointments, in-home sessions, as well as teletherapy to meet the needs of our clients.

  • Yes! Being a new mom is stressful enough. At times, stepping into a therapist’s office can feel like a daunting task.

This allows you to prioritize your mental health without the added burden of logistical challenges. Can’t find childcare? Baby hates to ride in the car? That’s not an issue with in-home sessions. Take advantage of this unique offering, and let us take one thing off your plate.

  • Using your insurance for mental health coverage allows insurance providers to gather detailed personal infromation about your private experiences and dictate the parameters of your mental health treatment. Insurance companies upload information to a database that is accessible to all future insurance carriers. Ethically I am not comfortable with how insurance companies manage private patient data. Why so many therapists don’t take insurance has been a hot-topic lately. You can read more about this complicated issue here and here.

  • Postpartum anxiety and depression, often termed perinatal mood disorders, are the most common complication following childbirth. One in seven women are affected. While having the “baby blues” for two weeks postpartum is quite normal, having sadness or overwhelming thoughts that persist after this period warrants additional treatment.

    If you answered “yes” to three or more of these symptoms, it is recommended that you seek out support. Perinatal mood disorders are very treatable. Do not let uncertainty, shame, finances, or embarassment keep you from getting the help you need.

  • Dr. Rundle will start with a 15 minute consultation chat to determine your needs and whether she is an appropriate provider. If moving forward with therapy, an online portal account will be created for you, where you can view and sign forms prior to beginning treatment. After that, an initial session will be scheduled. Dr. Rundle recommends that initial sessions be done in person, either in-office or in-home depending on your preference. Telehealth sessions can be an option once treatment has been established. The initial session will be a 50-minute appointment where you can discuss what brought you to therapy. Dr. Rundle will discuss her treatment recommendations with you and follow-up sessions will be scheduled as needed. See this blog post for more info.
