Fees & Insurance
Fees
I offer an initial session/consultation at no charge. I will discuss fees and payment with you during the initial session. I also have a limited number of slots for sliding-scale fee clients, which is a reduced fee offered based on financial need.
Fees are to be paid each session. Most patients pay using cash or check. You may also use credit card, and I am happy to discuss this option with you.
Insurance
I am considered an out-of-network provider with all insurance companies. Services are provided on a fee-for-service basis and are charged directly to you, the client. I will provide a monthly statement that has all the necessary information for you to bill your insurance company directly.
Prior to your first session, you will need to call your insurance company and ask the following questions:

Prior to your first session, you will need to call your insurance company and ask the following questions:
- Do I have mental health benefits?
- What mental health services (intake, therapy, psychological testing, etc.) are covered by my insurance plan?
- Do I have a deductible? If so, how much of my deductible has been met?
- How many therapy sessions are covered by my insurance plan each calendar year?
- What percentage of my bill will be covered for services provided by an out-of-network provider?
