Fees & Insurance
Therapy is an investment in your wellbeing and your future, and I hope to make it accessible for as many clients as possible. I understand that self-pay rates for therapy may seem expensive. If you want to learn more about self-pay rates for therapy, including how therapists set their rates and some of the challenges to using insurance for therapy, please read Accessibility of Mental Health Care: Insurance, Private Pay, & More.
Currently, I also take some insurances. Due to state regulations, I am not able to see Medicaid clients.
Fee Structure
Regular Rate
$160 per session (HSA accepted)
Documentation available for out-of-network reimbursement through your insurance (please inquire directly with your insurance to see if you have this benefit)
Sliding Scale
For clients with financial need, I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots. Please don't hesitate to contact me and ask about the availability of a sliding scale spot. In your email, please include your approximate household income and whether or not you have dependents.
.
If you are financially privileged, please consider paying the regular rate to enable those with financial need to access affordable care.
Examples of financial privilege include: owning your own home, living in a household with a 6-figure income, not supporting any dependents, having money in investments, being able to put aside savings every month, traveling for vacation, etc.
Accepted Insurance
When using insurance, the cost of sessions depends on your individual insurance plan. Please inquire with your insurance company directly. At this time, I am only able to accept the following insurances (utilizing Alma for billing):
Aetna
United Healthcare
*Please note, I ot bill insurance for family therapy.
Non-Clinical Services
Additional services such as involvement in IEP meetings, composition of letters and reports, completion of paperwork for FMLA, etc., are billed at my regular hourly rate of $160 per hour. These costs are not eligible for insurance coverage and must be paid out-of-pocket.
As you make your decision about payment for therapy, I recommend you consider is the issue of diagnosis. For insurance to cover therapy services, I am required to input a diagnosis code that becomes a permanent part of your medical record. If you have concerns about this, please consider a self-pay option, as formal diagnosis is not always necessary for therapy to take place.
