FAQs
How does online therapy work?
Our sessions will occur over an easy-to-use, secure, HIPAA compliant telehealth platform (like Zoom or Skype) that allows for video, phone, and secure messaging. You will need a private space, stable internet connection, and an electronic device (e.g., phone, tablet, or laptop). During our consultation, we will assess if telehealth is a good fit for your needs.

How long are therapy sessions and how frequently will we meet?
Therapy sessions range from 45-60 minutes and our schedule will be tailored to your needs. Learn more about my services here.
Do you accept insurance?
I do not accept any insurances at this time. I am considered an “out-of-network provider”. I recommend contacting your insurance company about their “out of network benefits”. Many insurances will reimburse 40-80% of out-of-network costs.
What are your rates and how do you accept payment?
I offer a free 20 minute consultation and my rates are $180 for individual therapy sessions, $205 for the initial intake session, and $230 for any joint sessions. Payments are accepted via credit card.
What is your cancellation policy?
Your session time is dedicated for you. I kindly ask that you provide at least 24-hours notice of any cancellations. You are responsible for the full fee of your session if you cancel without this advanced notice.
Do you prescribe medication?
I do not prescribe medication but can help with a referral to a psychiatric provider.
Benefits of paying out of pocket
Paying out of pocket gives you the most confidential and comprehensive care. Insurance companies require clinicians to provide information about clients which may include diagnosis and treatment plans at the very least. Additionally, we will not be limited to a number of sessions that the insurance company is willing to pay for.
Good Faith Estimate
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
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
