What can I expect during the 15-minute consultation?

The initial consultation gives you the opportunity to ask questions and gives us a chance to get to know each other to see if we are a good fit. I will ask you some questions to see what your goals are for our time together to ensure successful and positive outcomes.

What can I expect during our first meeting together?

Typically, we will meet for the first 50 minute session virtually. You will share what is happening in your life and together, we will make a plan for healing and wellness to begin.

What is the average cost per session?  

$225.00 per 50 minute session.

What are other payment and billing options?

Out of Network

I am considered an Out-of-Network provider which means that, depending on your type of insurance, you will be reimbursed by your insurance for all or a portion of the monies you pay for therapy. Please note, it is your responsibility to understand your insurance program.

Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan by providing them a superbill (invoice). Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:

•  Is telehealth covered under my plan?
• Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
• What is my deductible and has it been met?
• How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
• How much is covered per therapy session?
• How much is covered for an out of network provider?
• Do I need pre-authorization from my primary care physician?

Insurance programs accepted:

Optum, Cigna, & Motion Picture Industry (MPI).

Other programs accepted:

• Health Spending Accounts (HSA) accepted.
• In-home sessions and HIPPA compliant online therapy available.
• Accepted payment methods: Cash, Visa, Mastercard, Venmo, Zelle and IVY pay.

What are the benefits of not going through my insurance company?

• No Labeling – You don’t have to carry an unnecessary diagnosis on your medical record.
• Confidentiality & Privacy – You and your psychotherapist are the only people that will know you’re in therapy.
• Self-Determination – You get to work with a psychotherapist that is free to use the best therapeutic approach to help you meet your goals.
• Quality Care & Attention – You’ll get a psychotherapist that’s not professionally overextended.  Most of all, you’ll have the help of a professional that’s invested in your process of growth and will be able to use the methods that are most appropriate for you.

Good Faith Estimate (GFE)

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, 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.
