Fees

Consultation (15 minutes via phone or Google Meets): Free
Intake/initial session: $250
Follow up session (50 minutes): $225

Your therapy session is a time reserved for you. Appointments cancelled without 48 hours of notice will be charged a cancellation fee equal to the fee of the session. 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 day 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.

Payment is processed through IvyPay, a HIPAA compliant payment processing program for therapists. IvyPay will text clients their receipt and if requested superbill information.

I have partnered with Mentaya to help clients use their out-of-network benefits to save money on therapy. Use this tool below to see if you qualify for reimbursement for my services.

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.

Frequently AskED QUestions

  • Do you take insurance?

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) and reimburse you for some or all of your appointment cost, but may be subject to a deductible before receiving benefits. You are responsible for contacting your insurance provider about coverage.

I have partnered with Mentaya so clients can check their out-of network benefits. Clients may also choose to use Mentaya to submit claims for out of network reimbursement. Mentaya charges a small 5% fee of the session cost.

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.

  • Do you offer online or in person therapy?

I offer both types of sessions. In person therapy is available at my office in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. I can provide online therapy via a HIPAA compliant platform for clients in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

  • Do you work with children?

I do work with children; my work with children is family focused. Parents can expect to be actively involved in treatment and attend sessions together with their children and at times have parent sessions. Parents who are actively engaged in the therapy process and committed to examining their role in promoting change will find therapy more successful.

  • Do you provide couples therapy?

I provide couples therapy in the context of parenting. I work with new parents to prepare for the arrival of their children, and I work with couples who are current parents to navigate parenting challenges. I do not provide sex therapy or therapy around affairs. I do work with individuals who are struggling in their marriage.

  • My spouse won’t go to therapy with me, what do I do?

A lot can be accomplished in individual therapy that impacts the relationship. If your spouse will not go to couple’s therapy, seeing an individual therapist can help you navigate conflicts in your relationship and develop the skills you need to feel confident in your relationship.
