What is your availability, your fees, and how long are your sessions? 

Please contact me to discuss my current availability and fees.  My standard sessions are 50-minutes long. Longer sessions are prorated (and may be required for some EMDR processing sessions). 

 

I offer free 20-minute consultations to talk about your needs and determine if we are a good fit to work together.

 

Do you offer a sliding scale? 

I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots, based on financial need and the rightness of fit of you & me as client & therapist. If no sliding scale spots are available, I can suggest low-fee counseling centers available in the community or you can contact your insurance plan for a list of covered providers.

 

What is your cancellation policy? 
If you cancel your scheduled appointment with less than 48 hours notice or you do not show up for your scheduled appointment, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session. 

 

What forms of payment do you accept?
Sessions are paid at the time of service by credit or debit cards. 

​

Do you take insurance?

I do not at this time.  Although I accept private pay only and am not on any insurance panels, some PPO insurance plans may reimburse you for therapy delivered by an out-of-network provider. Upon request, I can provide a monthly statement for you to submit to your insurance company.  

​

If you are interested in receiving reimbursement, you will want to call your insurance company and ask the following questions prior to your first session with me:

• Are out-of-network providers of mental health services covered?

• What amount or percentage of sessions are covered and what, if any, deductible amount must be met first?

• Is there a limit to the number of sessions that may be covered?

• Is pre-authorization required?

• What information is required for reimbursement?

Notice: Your Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges Under the No Surprises Act  

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.  

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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 (800) 985-3059.
