Fees + Insurance
I offer virtual sessions for individual adults (18-65). Sessions are typically scheduled weekly.
Sessions are $150 for 50 minutes.
I require an active credit card be on file and will charge your card after each session is completed.
Regarding Virtual Sessions
You’ll need to be in a quiet, private place to attend your session (a bedroom, your car, etc.). Privacy is important to be able to speak your mind freely and feel fully what comes up during session.
A computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone with a stable internet connection.
I use Simple Practice, a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform that is secure and encrypted to ensure your privacy.
A Note on Insurance
My practice is private pay only, so I do not accept or bill insurance.
This policy is not intended to limit your access to much needed support, rather its aim is to increase the quality of care I can provide.
Insurance companies can (and will) limit the number of sessions that are covered, and they will request copies of your client record, which includes notes on what happens in your therapy sessions. Additionally, insurance companies require patients to receive a formal mental health diagnosis from the DSM V (i.e. Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, etc.). This is required to 'prove' medical necessity for therapy, will become part of your permanent health record, and may result in you having a pre-existing condition.
Seeking support to process your story, alleviate suffering, and grow towards healing doesn't automatically mean you have an illness or need a diagnosis. Nor should any one other than you have the power to determine the quality and duration of the care you receive.
If you would like to use your insurance for therapy, I am considered an out of network provider. Some of my clients utilize their out-of-network (OON) insurance benefits and are reimbursed for a portion of their out of pocket costs. I am able to provide you with the appropriate documentation required to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement (called a Superbill).
The best way to determine what your insurance benefits would be for therapy is to call your insurance company directly. You can usually find the number on the back of your insurance ID card (if there’s a specific Behavioral Health number, call that one). When you call ask about your “outpatient, out-of-network, mental health benefits”.
