Q: What is the cost of sessions without insurance?

Sessions not billed through insurance cost $200.

Q: Do you have sliding scale fees?

I want to do everything I can for therapy to be affordable. Please reach out to me about sliding scale pricing. If you are having financial difficulties, check out Open Path as I am sometimes able to take clients through this platform.

Q: I have insurance but not one of those listed. Can I use my insurance to see you?

If you have a different insurance than one of those listed above, you may still be able to use insurance to pay for therapy. I encourage you to reach out to your insurance company to find out if you have Out Of Network (OON)benefits. I am able to provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Q: How do I find out if I have Out of Network benefits?

Call the phone number on the back of your insurance card. When calling your insurance you’ll want to ask:

  • Do I have Out of Network Benefits?

  • What percentage of the cost of therapy will be covered? Is there a deductible I have to meet? Do I have a co-pay?

  • What’s the process of submitting claims for reimbursement? What information will you need? Is there a specific form necessary?

  • How long on average does it take to receive my reimbursement check?

  • Do I need a preauthorization?

Q: How do I pay for sessions?

I accept most major credit cards and I do require that you sign up for auto-bill pay. I use Alma and Headway platforms to manage my practice billing so that I can focus solely on our work together.

Q: What’s your cancelation policy?

You may cancel appointments in advance without a charge, as long as I receive 24 hours notice. Any appointments scheduled but not kept, as well as any appointments cancelled without 24 hours notice will be charged the full fee (if self pay) or $70 (if paying by insurance).

I will make every attempt to inform you in advance of planned absences. If I need to cancel an appointment at the last-minute, I will reach out as soon as possible and reschedule.
