50 Minute Sessions for Couples/Families $200

Free Initial Consultation

I offer a free initial phone or video consultation to see if we’re a good fit. You can tell me about what's bringing you to therapy, and we can discuss what I can offer you.  Then we can decide whether we'd want to go forward. 

Payment

All major credit and debit cards are accepted as forms of payment, along with Venmo. I request clients keep a card on file, which will be billed on the day of your session.  I also accept medical payment debit cards (HSA or FSA) which can be kept on file with me to bill your medical expenses account directly.

Insurance

While I do not bill insurance, I can provide you with a superbill which may be able to get insurance reimbursement. If you are covered by PPO health insurance, your carrier may reimburse you at their out-of-network rate. Payment for our services is required in full at each session. Health insurance varies greatly from plan-to-plan, and your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan will determine if they accept the superbill which may be able to cover services in full or in part. I encourage all clients looking for insurance reimbursement to please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services.

Questions you can ask to look into reimbursement include:

Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?

What is my coverage for outpatient mental health?

Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?

What is the reimbursement rate for an out-of-network provider?

How many sessions are covered per calendar year?

Am I covered for seeing an out-of-network mental health provider?

Does my plan cover therapy by telehealth, or does it require in-person sessions?

Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?

Good Faith Estimate

As of January 1, 2022 The No Surprises Act requires providers to inform their uninsured and private pay clients that they have a right to a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining the estimate for the expected charges they may be billed. Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for services. Surprise billing occurs when clients receive care from out-of-network providers without their knowledge, which can happen if someone involved in the client’s care is not in-network. This act is intended to cut down on surprise costs, and also to ban out-of-network charges without notice in advance.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services at least 1 business day before your next therapy appointment. You can also ask me, or any other provider of your choice, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a session.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate or the dispute process, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 368-1019.

Consistency Policy

If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you may be charged for the full rate of the session. When you cancel a session, I request that you reschedule it within a 2-week period. This enables you to make consistent progress in therapy.
