FAQ

Do you accept insurance?
I do not accept insurance. For those who have PPO / Out-of-Network benefits, I provide statements with insurance codes for reimbursement. For instance, the individual/couple/family pays me directly (following our meeting) and submits my invoice/statement to insurance for reimbursement.

How do I know if I have PPO / Out-of-Network benefits?
To better understand if you have these benefits please contact your Health Insurance Provider with the following questions:

  • Do I have out-of-network coverage for mental health/psychotherapy benefits?

  • Is there a limit to the amount of sessions? If so, can I extend if needed?

  • Do I have a deductible?

  • Is a diagnosis code required?

  • Does reimbursement cover in-person and Telehealth meetings?

  • At what amount will insurance cover my out-of-network therapy sessions
    for the following insurance procedure code(s):
    - Code 90837 - Individual Psychotherapy
    - Code 90847 - Couples/Family Psychotherapy

What rate do you charge for office and telehealth meetings?

  • $195 Individual (up to 60 min mtg)

  • $245 Couples & Families (up to 60 min mtg)

  • $400 Open Dialogue (includes 2 therapists co-facilitating up to 60 min mtg)

  • $200 Coaching/Mentoring on Money, Relationships, & Communication
    (up to 60 min mtg)

Will you adjust your rate if it's out of my budget?
Yes, I am happy to discuss further. I do my best to work within one’s budget.

Why aren’t you part of any in-network insurance panels?
There are several reasons why I’m choosing not to be part of in-network insurance.

  • Insurance often limits the approved amount of sessions, not based on need,
    but what they consider medical necessity before approving additional sessions.

  • Insurance has the right to audit in-network therapists allowing them to review
    session notes.

  • They often require a psychiatric diagnosis, which is part of one's medical record.

  • Confidentiality and choice of therapist can be an issue with insurance plans.

  • I don’t see my values and approach aligning with managed care regulations.

What types of payment do you accept?
Cash, check, or E-transfer.

Can I use my Health Savings Account through work?
It may be an option, but you would have to confirm with your human resources dept.
