Fees
60-minute individual therapy session: $195
90–minute individual therapy session: $275
I set my fee based on business and living expenses; my level of training and experience; and a desire to offer discounted or pro-bono services to those who need it. When you pay my full rate, you are not only supporting my livelihood and work; you’re also helping someone else receive services who otherwise would not be able to access this kind of support.
I offer a limited number of discounted sessions to clients who are experiencing financial difficulty, and are dedicated to the counseling process and interested in ongoing work together.
*Please note that I currently have a waiting list for discounted and pro-bono appointments. .
Insurance
I am an out-of-network provider, which means I currently do not bill insurance companies directly. Some insurance plans will partially reimburse you for the cost of sessions with an out-of-network provider.
I work with Mentaya, a platform that helps clients get money back on out-of-network therapy sessions. If you have out-of-network benefits, Mentaya will file claims and handle the insurance paperwork to make sure you get reimbursed. They charge a 5% fee per claim, but make the process easy on you. You can sign up here.
Note: Mentaya's goal is to save you time and money. It's completely optional, and as your therapist I do not benefit in any way from your participation. You can also simply contact your insurance company directly to find out if you have out-of-network benefits for behavioral health as well as the details of that benefit, and I can provide documentation for you to submit an out-of-network claim on your own.
Good Faith Estimate
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. You are entitled to receive a Good Faith Estimate in writing before receiving services. You can also ask your provider for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
Payment
Sessions are paid by credit card, securely stored on file through my Electronic Health Records system.
