Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
I am currently an out-of-network provider for most insurance panels. I can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for partial reimbursement. The reimbursement % rate depends upon your plan. Your insurance company will be able to give you the % if you are uncertain.
​
What are your fees?
Fees for standard 50-minute sessions range from $200-$240. Fees for a standard couples session is $300 per hour. Client requested paperwork ( ei, disability or insurance inquiries, letters regarding treatment, and client initiated check-ins outside of regular sessions are billed at your regular session rate and pro-rated to 20 minute intervals.
​
How do I pay?
Cash, personal check, or credit card is accepted. A credit card fee of 3% will be added to each transaction if paying with card.
​
How long will I be in therapy for?
This number is different for everyone. There are many factors that determine the length of therapy and these include intensity and frequency of symptoms, a desire to do the work (therapy ain't easy), in addition to many other factors. We will work together to develop a treatment plan that will guide your treatment duration.
​
How can therapy help me?
There are many ways in which therapy can help someone. Some of these include:
-Changing old behavior patterns and developing new ones
-Improving self-esteem by uncovering what is getting in the way of your confidence
-Learning ways to better deal with stress and anxiety
-Process difficult current circumstances going on in your life
-Learn to better manage depression, grief, anger and other big emotions
-Better understand yourself and learn how to apply these new discoveries to your current life
​
Is therapy confidential?
In most cases, the law protects the confidentiality of all communications between a therapist and a client. No information can be disclosed without prior written consent. There are a few exceptions required by law to this rule and these include
1. Suspected child or elder abuse.
2. If the client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person.
3. If the client intends to harm himself or herself. I will make every effort to work with the client to ensure their safety. However, if an individual does not cooperate or cannot stay safe, additional measures will need to be taken.

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. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
