Rates & Insurance
Therapy sessions are $275 for a standard 45-minute session. I offer a limited number of sliding scale sessions for those facing financial difficulties.
I am purposely not in-network with any insurance companies, so I do not directly bill insurance. If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Why I don’t take insurance
I believe in your right to privacy and to attain the care you desire without limitations. Working with an insurance company requires us to give you a formal mental health diagnosis which becomes a part of your permanent health record and limits your confidentiality. Insurance companies decide how much counseling you need based on “medical necessity” and they have the right to access your session notes at any time.
I believe in protecting your privacy and providing treatment based on what you need in the moment rather than a “one size fits all” approach. I believe in providing quality care that is attentive to what you need for ANY issue in your life rather than what an insurance company dictates based on a diagnosis.
However, if your insurance does reimburse out-of-network providers, I am happy to provide you with the documentation you need to seek reimbursement from your insurance carrier. They will reimburse you directly. Out-of-network benefits typically cover 50-80% of the session fee.
Contact your insurance carrier to determine if you have out-of-network benefits. Please check your coverage carefully and ask the following questions:
Do I have out-of-network coverage for outpatient mental health?
What is my deductible and how much of it has been met?
How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
Do I need pre-approval?
