SESSION LENGTH AND PER SESSION INVESTMENT

Intake $250 per 80-minute session

In our initial session we’ll begin to get to know one another and explore your hopes for our work together. We will review practice policies and relevant documentation. We will also talk about personal history and what brings you to therapy at this time.

Individual Psychotherapy $185 per 60-minute session; $240 per 80-minute session

As opposed to the standard 45-50 minute session, I offer a standard 60 minutes to allow for thoughtful expression and more intentional conclusion. Some clients more easily find their footing in regular extended sessions. In this case, we can arrange to meet for extended 80 minute sessions.

PAYMENT METHODS

I accept all major credit cards (Visa, American Express, Mastercard, Discover, etc.).

INSURANCE / FSA / hsa

I am not “in-network” with any insurance company, meaning I am an “out-of-network” provider. However, your insurance plan, FSA, or HSA may provide compensation for services rendered by "out-of-network" mental health providers. You may remit payment with your FSA or HSA card, or I am happy to provide you with a monthly statement (“superbill”) that you can submit to the third-party of your choice to seek reimbursement of fees paid.

If you are interested in working with me and feel that you would like your insurance to reimburse you for some or all of your costs, you will need to contact your carrier to determine your coverage for reimbursement. Some questions you might ask:

  • Does my insurance cover out-of-network providers?

  • What percentage or amount per session will my plan cover?

  • What is my deductible (i.e.: What is the amount that must be paid out of pocket before I may obtain reimbursement for therapy)?

  • Does my plan impose a limit on the number of sessions per year?

  • Do I need a referral from a physician before I can receive reimbursement for therapy?

If you are contemplating using your insurance to pay for all or some of your therapy, there are certain additional considerations you should understand. I am committed to doing everything possible to maintain your confidentiality. However, when you choose to pay for your own therapy rather than going through your insurance company, you maintain greater control over your treatment and privacy. Insurance companies typically require a mental illness diagnosis in order to process and reimburse claims. This can be problematic because not everyone who chooses to pursue therapy will require a diagnosis of mental illness. Additionally, insurers may request personal information and/or treatment progress reports to determine fee payment, length of treatment, etc. I have no control over how your insurer might use or disseminate your personal information. It is possible that this information, including your diagnosis, will remain in your medical history and might affect later access to health or disability coverage.
