The logistics.
To get started—
If you are interested in starting therapy with me, I invite you to contact me for a free 15-minute phone consultation in which we can chat about what is bringing you to therapy, what your hopes and expectations are for therapy, and whether we may be a good fit to work together. During this time, I will also share with you about how I work and answer any questions you may have. You will be able to get a feel for my style and get a sense of how it can feel like to be in therapy with me.
Fees
Initial phone consultation (15 minutes): Free
Individual psychotherapy (50 minutes), both in-person and teletherapy: $225
Couples psychotherapy (60 minutes), both in-person and teletherapy: $275
Training workshop or presentation/consulting: Project-based pricing
Payments are due at the beginning of each session. I currently receive payments via Zelle. All scheduled appointments can be cancelled without charge at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. If cancelled less than 24 hours, you will be required to pay the full fee of the session.
Insurance information
I do not currently accept insurance and am considered an “out-of-network” provider. You may still be able to receive partial reimbursement from your health insurance. If you wish, I can provide you with a statement of services (“Superbill”) at the end of each month for you to submit to your insurance company. Please call your insurance carrier and ask the following questions: 1) Do I have mental health benefits? If so, what are they? 2) How much will I be reimbursed for an “in-network” and “out-network” provider? 3) How many sessions per year does my insurance cover? 4) What prior approval is needed and what information should I obtain from my provider to get reimbursement before my first meeting?
No Surprises Act
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. 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 items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of services. If you are uninsured or are not submitting to your insurance carrier for reimbursement, I am required to provide a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your first session. You can also ask me 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.
