Payment is due at the time of each session. All major credit cards are accepted.
If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, you must notify me at least 24 hours in advance. Missed appointments and cancellations with less than 24 hour’s notice will be charged a $50 fee on the second occurrence.
I am not credentialed with insurance providers and would be considered out-of-network. I encourage prospective clients to contact their insurance company to request information in writing about what coverage they have for out-of-network benefits. You will pay for your sessions on the day of your appointment and will be given an itemized receipt that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Many clients have found that due to high deductibles with their insurance plans, they will need to pay out of pocket for much, if not all, of their counseling services and find benefit in working with someone whom they feel is a good fit for them, rather than who their plan dictates.
Many people I work with simply need to check in with someone to get a new perspective, learn some new skills, or explore some different strategies. Others want to work on their relationship with their partner, strengthen family relationships, or on being a better parent. These things, including marriage and couple counseling, are not typically covered by insurance unless you are given a mental health diagnosis. For couples therapy, one partner is given a mental health diagnosis to utilize benefits, and the other partner is brought in to support the diagnosed partner.
The advantage of self-pay therapy is that you are able to avoid limitations imposed by insurances, such as: the number of sessions, duration of a session, how and where the session takes place, and the necessity of a diagnosis. While receiving an appropriate diagnosis can be extremely beneficial, it does come with many implications, such as impacting your insurance and health records.
