I Understand That Therapy is a Financial and Time Commitment.
When you make the decision to commit to making a difference in your life, I know you are ready to be focused and get work done! This is why I make sure to keep you focused on your goals so you can make the changes needed in your life.
Most of the clients I see begin to see this change in a short period of time. The way that I help you make some of these changes, in such a short amount of time, is by implementing the following steps.
Most of the clients I see begin to see this change in a short period of time. The way that I help you make some of these changes, in such a short amount of time, is by implementing the following steps.
- Implementing a treatment plan that we will discuss together during the first session that includes objectives and goals.
- Using evidence based treatment approaches that make sense to you and that include change you can see.
- Checking in with you to make sure that we are staying in line with your goals and that all your needs are being met.

Type of Payment Accepted
Payment is due at the time of your session and I accept the following:

What you can expect out of your intake session
- An in depth conversation of your intake assessment and questionnaire.
- We will create a customized treatment plan for your unique goals. I know that everyone's life and circumstances are different and I believe that your treatment should be treated the same way!
The benefits to private pay:
- You are in control of how many sessions you will receive and how long your sessions can be, not the insurance company.
- All insurance companies require for you to have a diagnosis. With private pay, you will not have a diagnosis on your health record.
- Insurance companies can dictate what kind of therapy you get. You should be in control of what kind of help you receive. This even applies to couples and marriage counseling, as all insurance companies do not cover this type of treatment.
Options you have for Private Pay
If you find that the cost of therapy is too expensive, you may consider the following options:

Insurance

I am currently in-network with:
Please note, that in order for insurance to cover your sessions, there must be a mental health diagnosis and the treatment will be tailored to this diagnosis. We will discuss what the diagnosis will be during your therapy sessions.
In addition, there is no mental health diagnosis for couples counseling; therefore, many insurance companies do not cover couples counseling. If you have questions about this, you can contact your insurance company to determine your coverage. If you want to use your insurance, I will be able to check what your co-pay is on your behalf and determine your out-of-pocket costs. This will take 72 hours to complete.

If you do not have this insurance, but wish to still use your insurance benefits, your insurance company may still be able to reimburse you with out-of-network benefits. The way this works is that I can provide you with an invoice that is called a "superbill" that you may present to your insurance carrier as an out-of-network provider. Out-of-network benefits typically covers about 40%-100% of the cost you pay, but this is based on your insurance plan. It is your responsibility to discuss with your insurance company how much will be reimbursed.
If you find that this may be too much to hassle with, there is a service called Better that will do the work for you. You will need to provide them with your insurance information, the superbill I will provide you with, and Better will take care of it. They will take a small percentage of what the insurance company reimburses you, but you don't have to go through the process of speaking with your insurance company.

Policies
Late Cancel and No-Show Fees
- If you are unable to attend your appointment, I require a 24 hour notice.
- I charge my full rate fee for no-show and late cancelled appointments.
- I do waive this fee in case of an emergency. Which I define as an event or situation that was unavoidable or unexpected. I do require a credit card, that is not an HSA or FSA to be on file in the event that there is a no-show or late cancellation.
- If you cannot physically be present in my office, and have an appointment, but you are available, we may have an online therapy session.
- Note that if you are using your insurance, your insurance will not cover the no-show or late cancel fee.
Attendance
At the beginning of treatment, sessions are typically held weekly. As progress is made, sessions may be bi-weekly or even monthly, until we end treatment. This is discussed together as a team.
