Do you take insurance? 

I currently accept Aetna Health Insurance. If you do not have Aetna, I would be considered an out-of-network provider.

​

​

How much do you charge?

My fee is $155 for a 50-minute session. If you do not have Aetna Health Insurance, you are responsible for the full fee. Depending on your insurance, you may be eligible for reimbursement through out-of-network benefits. I accept cash, check, major credit cards, Health Savings Accounts, and Flexible Spending Accounts.

​

​

What if you aren’t covered by my insurance plan?

If I am not covered by your insurance plan, you will be responsible for the full fee of $155 per 50-minute session.

I strongly recommend checking your insurance plan for out-of-network benefits for licensed counselors and any deductible requirements. If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

​

​

How do I know if I have out-of-network benefits if you don't take my insurance?

If you're unsure about your out-of-network benefits, consider contacting your insurance company directly to understand what your plan covers and your potential out-of-pocket costs for sessions. You can reach member or customer service by calling the phone number listed on the back of your insurance card.

​

Once you're speaking with a representative, you might use the following script: "I’m looking to work with an out-of-network mental health therapist. Does my plan include out-of-network benefits? If so, is there a deductible I need to meet before coverage begins for out-of-network mental health services? And once benefits apply, what would my copay or coinsurance be for mental health visits?"

​

How long are sessions?

Sessions can last for 50 minutes.

 

​

How often will we meet?

When beginning our work together, I typically recommend meeting weekly for at least the first two months. Weekly sessions help us build momentum and address your concerns effectively.

 

​

How long do people stay in therapy?

The short answer is that we can meet for as long as you feel it's beneficial. Some people come to therapy to address a specific issue; once that’s resolved or they feel better, they may choose to end therapy.

​

Others prefer to have a therapist to check in with as needed. After building a strong working relationship, you may feel that weekly sessions are no longer necessary but aren’t quite ready to say “goodbye.” In that case, we can meet intermittently, allowing you to continue growing and exploring without having to “start over” with someone new.

​​​​

​

What is your cancellation policy?

Your appointment time is reserved specifically for you. If you need to cancel, please provide at least 24 hours' notice. If you miss your appointment or cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, you will be responsible for the full fee of $155. Please note that if you’re using insurance, this missed appointment fee is not covered and will be your responsibility.

 

​

What will happen during the free, 15-minute consultation?

During the free 15-minute consultation, you can ask any questions you may have. We'll also discuss your goals for therapy and what you would like to explore. Additionally, we can determine if we would be a good match, including my availability for appointments that fit your schedule.

​

Do you offer in-person appointments?

At this time I am unable to offer in-person appointments for new clients.
