  • For clients who prefer to not use insurance (see “should I use my insurance for services?” drop down on the benefits of cash pay)

    I am in the process of credentialing with other major insurance carriers to make therapy more accessible.

    For all other insurances, I’m happy to provide you with a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement for a portion of the session fee.

    Please know that not all insurance plans offer reimbursement for out-of-network providers and some plans may have a deductible or an allowable amount. I recommend calling the customer service number on the back of your card and speak to a representative for details about your specific plan.

    You may consider asking questions such as: 

    1. Do you cover out-of-network benefits for mental health therapy/psychotherapy via telehealth?

    2. What is my deductible, co-pay, or co-insurance? Does this impact my out-of-network coverage?

    3. How quickly should I expect to receive reimbursement? How many sessions are covered in a calendar year? Are there any limits?

      4. How do I submit my superbill each month? Are there any time-limits I should be aware of? 

  • Some clients prefer to self-pay for their sessions (to pay out-of-pocket without seeking reimbursement from their insurance). Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis to be submitted with all claims in order to justify “medically necessary” treatment (for both in-network and out-of-network claims). As such, some choose not to utilize the out-of-network benefits to avoid having a diagnosis on their medical record. 

    Some insurance plans can also dictate how many sessions they will cover per year regardless of the progress you have made.

    By opting to not use insurance you have complete control over your healing journey.

  • I have a limited number of sliding scale opportunities available.

    Please use the contact form here and let me know you’re interested in a sliding scale spot.

  • The intake session is your first opportunity to share about yourself in a safe and nonjudgemental space. Also commonly referred to as an information gathering session, which means I will ask questions to help me get to know you. During our session, we’ll do a bit of paperwork and then you’ll have the opportunity to share more about what you’ve been experiencing.

  • During a follow up session, we’ll explore the challenges you’re facing, work on identifying the the tools you’ll need in your toolbox to overcome these challenges, and check-in on your therapy goals. Follow up sessions can be weekly or bi-weekly.

  • Life happens. If you need to cancel your session, please let me know at least 24 hours before your scheduled session. If you cancel later than this but can reschedule in the same week, there is no cancelation fee. The full session fee will be charged if you do not or cannot schedule your session within the same week.
