Rates

Finding a therapist who feels like the right fit is important, and understanding your payment options shouldn't make that decision any harder. My goal is to make the financial side of therapy as clear and straightforward as possible so you can focus on what matters most, your healing and growth.

Session Fees

Initial Intake Evaluation (50 minutes): $200

Individual Session (50 minutes): $175

Partner/Friend Session (50 minutes): $175

I provide therapeutic services in a fee-for-service model, meaning you pay directly at the time of your visit. I don't let clients run up a balance, because it strains the therapeutic relationship and distracts us both from the important work to be done. Clients with an outstanding balance may not be allowed to book further appointments until their balance is paid.

Additional Professional Services Fees

Services outside of normally scheduled psychotherapy sessions (such as phone calls, report writing, consultation, record requests, etc.) may incur additional fees billed at my standard rate. Whenever possible, any anticipated fees will be discussed with you in advance.

Accepted Forms of Payment

I accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as HSA and FSA. A valid payment method is required to be kept securely on file and will be used to process payment after each session, as well as any applicable fees outlined in the practice policies.

Out-of-Network Benefits

If your insurance plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be able to receive partial reimbursement for your sessions.

Upon request, I can provide a monthly superbill that you may submit directly to your insurance company. Reimbursement is determined by your specific plan, so I recommend contacting your insurance provider to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits before beginning therapy.

Questions you may want to ask:

  • Do I have out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health therapy?

  • Do I need a referral from my primary care physician to see a mental health professional?

  • Do I need pre-approval from my insurance company before I can see a mental health professional?

  • What is my coverage for out-of-network providers?

  • What is my yearly maximum benefit (dollar amount or number of visits)?

  • Is there a deductible, and has it been met?

Questions About Cost or Coverage?

If you have questions about payment, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm happy to help you understand your options before scheduling your first appointment.

No Surprises Act and Good Faith Estimates

The No Surprises Act, effective January 2, 2022, gives clients the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate before beginning therapy. Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of your mental health care if you are uninsured or choose not to use your insurance. A Good Faith Estimate provides an estimate of the expected charges for your services based on the information available at the time the estimate is provided.

Please note that a Good Faith Estimate is an estimate, and the actual cost of services may vary if the frequency or type of services changes.

If you receive a bill that is substantially higher than your Good Faith Estimate, you have certain rights under the No Surprises Act, including the right to dispute the bill. For more information about your rights under the No Surprises Act, you can visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s website:
