Therapy is an investment in yourself, your relationships, and your future.
You are worth it.
Therapy requires your time, money, and energy to be successful in achieving your goals. Sessions occur weekly or biweekly and last for 50-80 minutes depending on your goals and needs. My fees for sessions are: $150/50 minute individual session, $200/50 minute couple’s session, and $300/80 minute session.
When we schedule a session, I block out and commit that time for you. I ask that you be equally invested to create the change you are working towards.
Cancellation/reschedule policy: You will be charged the full fee for cancelled or rescheduled sessions with less than 24 hours’ notice, unless you are able to reschedule within the same week as the cancellation. There is no guarantee that a slot within the same week will be available.
Do you accept insurance?
I accept Lyra EAP, but otherwise I do not accept any other insurance plans. Why? I chose to work with you, not for insurance companies.
I believe that the most effective care is based on meeting the unique needs and goals of the people I work with. This approach to care is often incompatible with the rigid guidelines set by insurance companies. Often, benefits will not cover issues related to relationships as it is not considered to be “medically necessary” care.
If your insurance covers ‘out-of-network providers’ (typically PPO insurance plans) they may reimburse you for part of my fee. You may contact them to determine what the reimbursement rates on your plan are. Please be sure to inform them if services will take place via Telehealth to determine if that is covered or at a different rate. When submitting information to an insurance company, the insurance company - not you - decides how many sessions are appropriate for your treatment and the length of those sessions, as well as how much they are willing to cover of the rate paid. Private information shared with your insurance company may be stored in the Medical Information Bureau where it can be accessed in the future by other parties.
I am happy to provide you with proof of service (Superbill) so you may recover some of your costs. This will give your insurance company information about dates of service, diagnosis, and type of service you received. Keep in mind, there are many reasons an insurance company may not reimburse for sessions that you have paid for. This may be because you do not have a diagnosis, or the diagnosis you do have is not covered. It may also be because they do not reimburse for out of network providers, or for telehealth. Reimbursement should be viewed as a bonus, not a financial necessity in order to participate in therapy. If you would like a Superbill, please let me know as we get started!
Good Faith Estimate
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
