Fees & policies

A good faith estimate of expected charges is available upon scheduling or upon your request.

Payment

Payment is available by debit or credit card, including HSA and FSA.

Payment information is required for appointment reservations. Fees are charged upon the date of the scheduled appointment.

Fees

Rates for in-network patients (IN):

Billed directly to your insurance provider

  • Initial Phone Consultation (15 - 30 minutes): Free

  • Initial Intake Session - Billing Code: 90791 (53+ minutes): $200.00

  • Therapy Session - Billing Code: 90837 (53+ minutes): $175.00

  • Therapy Session - Billing Code: 90834 (38 - 52 minutes): $125.00

  • Couples or Family Session (53+ minutes): $200.00

The standard co-pay or co-insurance for your insurance plan is due at the time of service.

Rates for out-of-network patients(OON):

The rates are the same as for in-network patients. Many insurance carriers will reimburse you for payments even though I am considered an “out of network” provider. I will provide you with a “superbill” for your use to complete insurance claims. 

Full payment is due at the time of service.

Sliding Scale:

A percentage of my practice is available to provide care for uninsured, lower-income individuals based on a sliding scale.

Cancellation policy

Advanced notice to reschedule or cancel appointments is requested to provide the availability to other clients. There is no service charge for appointments rescheduled or canceled 48 hours or more in advance of the reserved appointment time.

Missed appointments and appointments canceled less than 24 hours in advance are charged for the full session rate. A late cancellation fee reduction may be considered with verification of an unavoidable emergency barrier to service.

Late to Appointment:

If you are more than 10 minutes late for a session without communicating with your counselor, it will be considered a missed appointment.

Appointment Reminders:

Appointment reminders are sent as a courtesy, and you are responsible for keeping track of your appointments.

Insurance

OON: By request, I can provide an invoice of itemized service, called a “superbill” (basically a detailed receipt), to clients with out-of-network mental/behavioral health insurance coverage to submit for cost reimbursement of covered services.

IN: I accept the below insurance plans.
