Our therapy sessions will be personalized to fit your individual goals and needs. All clients can expect to feel heard, supported, and welcomed. The modalities, techniques, and approaches we use in therapy will be based off of your unique experience.

Fees

As of July 1, 2023 I charge $225 for 50 minute sessions. The initial intake appointment is charged at a rate of $250 dollars. I offer the ability to prepay for up to 5 sessions at the rate of $215.

Shorter sessions or intensive sessions may be available based on scheduling demands and client needs. Please reach out to me if you would like to discuss these options.

Your therapy session is a time reserved for you. Appointments cancelled without 48 hours of notice will be charged a cancellation fee. This ensures I have adequate time to rebook your appointment.

I accept credit cards, HSA, and FSA cards. Payment is due the day of your appointment, Cards are kept on file and you are charged the morning of your appointment. I do not accept insurance. If you wish to submit to your insurance company for out of network benefits I can provide you a receipt that you can submit for reimbursement on your own.

Free consultation

Finding the right therapist is important. I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation prior to beginning services. During this phone call we will talk about your goals for therapy, what brings you to therapy, and go over questions about my practice, policies, and getting started.

Private Pay Providers

As a private pay provider I do not work with insurance companies and am out of network for all insurances. Some insurance companies may provide out of net work benefits (OON). These plans may reimburse you for some or all of your appointment cost, but may be subject to a deductible before receiving benefits. Plans and coverage varies and may cover as little as 0% or up to 100% of appointment cost. You are responsible for contacting your insurance provider about coverage. Ask your insurance provider if they provide out of network coverage, if there is a deductible, and what they will reimburse for out of network providers.

Clients may select private pay providers for a variety of reasons. When working with insurance clients are often limited to how often and how long they are able to have sessions. Insurance companies also dictate requirements for diagnoses, this means that therapy coverage is in part determined by your diagnosis. Choosing to use a private pay provider means that you have more control over how often you have therapy and what your therapy sessions look like.

Private pay therapy offers more privacy for clients. With private pay therapy your information is completely private; with insurance companies your private health care information (including diagnoses) is submitted and viewable by insurance companies. Private pay therapists are required to release information when it is required by law.

As a therapist, my decision to work through a private pay model allows me to provide my clients the best, personalized, and intentional care. I believe that people are more than a diagnosis and that accessing mental health care should not be controlled by insurance companies. Health care needs should be a personal choice that is discussed between provider and client.

Your session is a time that is reserved for you. Operating from this model allows me to be fully present and tailor your session to fit your individual needs.

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” that explains how much your medical care will cost. Under the law providers need to provide clients without insurance an estimate of cost for their service. Your health care provider needs to provide you an estimate of cost at least 1 business day before your treatment. You can ask for a good faith estimate before you schedule with a provider. If you receive a bill that is $400 dollars more than your good faith estimate you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or have a picture of your good faith estimate.
