Regarding out of network

For all insurance providers, out-of-network services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:

• 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?
• What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
• Is approval required from my primary care physician?

I can provide clients with a receipt of services to submit to their insurance company for reimbursement.

Fees

My rate is $105/hour.  Sliding fee arrangements available for those who qualify.

Payment
Cash or checks accepted for payment at the time of your appointment.

Cancellation Policy
Please arrive on time for your scheduled therapy appointment in order to utilize the full time available to you.  If you must cancel, please provide at least a 12 hour notice in advance.   Notices not received in a timely manner will require the full session payment.

Getting Started

I offer a free 20 minute consultation, either over the phone or in person, so we can determine if working together is a good match. Once we agree to work together, I will provide you with intake paperwork including a self-assessment, consents for release of information, and general paperwork regarding your client rights to privacy and confidentiality.
