Rates for out-of-network patients( OON):

The rates are the same as for in-network patients. Many insurance carriers will reimburse you for payments even though I am considered an “out of network” provider. I will provide you with a “superbill” for your use to complete insurance claims. 

Full payment is due at the time of service.

I use Headway for most of my billing.

The Headway team will confirm your insurance eligibility and provide you with an estimate of your responsibility for payment. As my client, you’ll receive appointment confirmation emails and invoices from Headway, and their team may also reach out with policy updates.

I do not take Medicaid or Medicare. But please reach out. There is something called a “Single Case Agreement (SCA) that we could negotiate so you could be seen by me.

More information on SCA here.

Call the number on the back of your insurance card to ask about out-of-network benefits. Here are some helpful questions you can ask:

• Are mental/behavioral health services covered by my out-of-network benefits?

• What is my out-of-network deductible?

• What does my plan reimburse per session for out-of-network claims?

• What is the reimbursement amount for the following CPT codes: 90791 and 90837?

• Is approval required from my primary care physician?

• How do I submit a claim for out-of-network benefits?

• How long do I have to submit my superbill?

• What is the typical turnaround time for reimbursement?

• How will I be reimbursed?

I accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and HSA. I run payments prior to each session through my practice software SimplePractice.

You can reach me through my contact form.

Cancellation policy

Advanced notice is requested to reschedule or cancel appointments, allowing us to provide availability to other clients. There is no service charge for appointments rescheduled or canceled 48 hours or more in advance of the reserved appointment time.

Missed appointments and appointments canceled less than 24 hours in advance are charged for the full session rate. A late cancellation fee reduction may be considered with verification of an unavoidable emergency barrier to service.

Late to Appointment:

If you are more than 10 minutes late for a session without communicating with your counselor, it will be considered a missed appointment.

Appointment Reminders:

Appointment reminders are sent as a courtesy, and you are responsible for keeping track of your appointments.

We start with a free consultation. This 15-minute phone call is an opportunity to explore if we will be a good fit to work together. We’ll schedule a first session during this call.

Individual Therapy
Our work together is centered on deep, lasting change that’s tailored specifically to you. Because of this individualized approach, there’s no fixed number of sessions. Many clients work with me for 9 to 18 months, while others choose to continue therapy long-term as an ongoing part of their personal growth and well-being.
