Fees and Insurance
My session fee is $175. I am not in-network with any insurance companies, largely to protect your privacy. Insurance companies require a formal mental health diagnosis to cover services. Staying independent means everything stays strictly between us.
Potential Reimbursement:
If you are comfortable with your health insurance company receiving diagnosis information about you, depending on your insurance plan, you could receive a partial reimbursement for session fees. If your insurance plan covers out-of-network care, you could get a partial reimbursement of what you paid, typically after you’ve met your out-of-network deductible. To make this as easy as possible, I offer two options:
Superbills: I can send you a monthly receipt to submit to your insurance yourself.
Courtesy Billing: If you want to skip the hassle, I can submit the claims directly to your insurance company for you—completely free of charge.
Because I default to protecting your privacy, I don't do either of these automatically. If you want to utilize your benefits, please let me know which option you prefer, and I’ll take care of the rest.
Not sure if your insurance plan has out-of-network benefits? Visit Thrizer, a third-party company that offers a free estimate of out-of-network benefits and a free estimated session cost. If your plan reimburses for out-of-network care, any reimbursement is determined by your insurance after the claim is processed, so Thrizer’s benefit check is not a guarantee.

Good Faith Estimate Notice
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.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call the No Surprises Help Desk at 1-800-985-3059.
