$150 per supervision hour.
Consultation
I offer a free initial free 15 minute phone consultation to all new clients help us determine if we are a good fit.
Payment Options
Private Pay - As an out of network therapist, I do not accept insurance.
I accept all major credit cards and HSA cards, cash, check, and Venmo.
Out of Network Benefits - Some insurance companies provide benefits that cover out of network therapists. This benefit reimburses you a certain percentage of the therapy fee (usually 30% to 80%) once your deductible is met. It is up to you to contact your insurance to see if this benefit is available to you and how to follow the proper channels.
Health Savings Account - You may have an employer-based or individual health savings account that you use to pay for healthcare costs from a designated account which is not taxed. This can be a great way to save costs on not only therapy but other healthcare providers and expenses as well.
Cancellation Policy
If you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment, and you have not notified us at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full missed session.
Good Faith Estimate
Self-Pay Disclaimer: 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.

However, if you are interested feel free to subscribe to the newsletter to get notifications of openings.
Why "pay out of pocket"?
Therapy is an investment in yourself, especially in the long run. My fee includes years of training, multiple certifications, personalized care and therapy that supported by experienced and consultations with certified consultants several times a month.
Some styles of therapy are not covered by insurance despite the fact that they are evidence based practices. Insurances often demand specific types of therapy that have shown to be more of a band-aid rather than offer sustained healing. Insurances often cap the number of sessions permitted per year as well as the amount of time per session. For most, 10 sessions per year is simply not enough and puts undue pressure on both the client and therapist to "get it all done" in too short of a time period.
For some, having a mental health diagnosis submitted to insurance is something they want to avoid. I am a passionate advocate for ending the stigma of mental health issues, however, I understand that a label is not an option for some individuals, depending on profession, life circumstances or personal preference. In order to use your insurance benefits, including out-of-network, a diagnosis must be submitted.
