FAQ

  • I have an in person office at 6840 International Center Boulevard, Fort Myers, Florida.

    I am available to meet clients via Telehealth across the state of Florida

  • Before scheduling a therapy session, I offer a free 15 minute introduction call with all potential new clients. This gives us the chance to get to know each other.

    During that call:

    -I’ll ask you what you are seeking from therapy

    -I will tell you a bit about myself and my approach as a therapist

    -You can ask me any questions that I did not cover

    -We will talk about rates and availability, etc.

  • The first one to two sessions will focus on getting to know one another, helping us to decide whether we will be a good fit to work together which is an important part of therapy. Therapy should feel like a safe place. We will go into more detail than we did during our consult call. I will guide the rest of the session by asking questions and we will define your goals together.


  • Understanding the cost of therapy is an important step in your journey toward mental wellness. I believe in providing clear and transparent information to help you make the best decision for your needs. Stated fees ensure you receive high-quality, professional care.

    Session Fees:

    • 55 minute sessions are $150.00

    • 90 minute sessions are $230.00


  • I offer in-person or Telehealth individual therapy for adults in the state of Florida.

    Anxiety Therapy to cope with life transitions, relationships and stress.

    Senior Therapy to cope with transitions such as retirement, social changes, and health challenges

    Caregiver Therapy to cope with the stressors of caring for a loved one while balancing their own needs

  • If we both decide we are a good fit after the consult call, we will schedule our first therapy appointment. I will email you a few forms to complete so look for an email that reads “Lisa Bendetowicz has invited you to….”. Completing these forms is essential in giving us the chance to dive right in.


  • During our initial sessions we will tailor your therapeutic goals to suit your individual needs. Whether you're seeking short-term support for a specific challenge or looking for long-term therapy to delve deeper into personal growth and development, therapy can guide you.

    Remember, there is no one-size-fits-all timeline for therapy. Your journey is unique, and the pace at which you progress will be entirely your own.

    The duration of your therapy is a collaborative decision we will make together. Regular reviews and open communication ensure that your therapy evolves with your goals.

  • I am an Out of Network provider for all health insurance plans. This means that I do not directly work with any insurance plans.

    However, I provide clients with a monthly document (a “superbill”) that they can submit to their insurance company for reimbursement.

    When you create your profile in the Electronic Health Record Portal, you will be prompted to upload a credit or debit card. The card will be charged on the day of the appointment although may not show on the account until the next day. It is easy to update your credit/debit card in the portal at any time.

    As a therapist I believe there are many benefits to not working directly with health insurance companies. It allows you to have the Privacy and Confidentiality as no information is shared with insurance companies, preserving your privacy. It gives you the chance to have no session limit which allows us to work to reach your therapeutic goals.

    The only insurance plan I do work with is MEDICARE. I am not a provider for any secondary plans.

    Medicare clients will upload their Medicare cards to the Electronic Health Record Portal which will be billed after your first appointment. The superbill can be provided for your secondary insurance. You will be responsible for the secondary fees directly to the practice.
