Fees & insurance
Cost should be one of the simplest parts of starting therapy.
One fee, paid at the session. I’m private pay only, and if cost is what’s standing between you and calling, tell me. I work with people on it.

Insurance
Do you take insurance?
No. I’m private pay only, which keeps decisions about your care between you and me rather than an insurance company.
Some plans reimburse part of the cost of seeing an out-of-network counselor. If you want to try, call the number on your card and ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits.
- 1Check your benefits, if you want to. Ask your insurer about out-of-network outpatient mental health coverage.
- 2Pay at the session. $150 individual, $175 couples or family.
- 3Tell me if cost is a problem. I work with people on the fee as needed.
Sliding scale
If the fee is what’s stopping you, say so on the first call. I work with people on the fee as needed.

Cost shouldn’t be the thing that decides this. Reach out and we’ll figure out what makes sense for your situation.
FAQ
Money questions, answered plainly.
How much does a session cost?
$150 for a 50-minute individual session; $175 for couples and family sessions, in person or online.
Do you take insurance?
No. I’m private pay only, so you pay at the time of the session.
What is a superbill and how do I get reimbursed?
A superbill is an itemized receipt with the codes your insurer needs (provider details, date, service code, diagnosis, amount paid). You submit it to your insurance company as an out-of-network claim, and if your plan has out-of-network mental health benefits, they reimburse you a portion — commonly after a deductible. Ask me if you’d like one.
How do I check my out-of-network benefits?
Call the member-services number on your insurance card and ask: “What are my out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health, CPT code 90834, and what is my out-of-network deductible?” That one question gives you your real cost.
Do you offer a sliding scale?
If the fee is a barrier, tell me. I work with people on the fee as needed.
What is a Good Faith Estimate and when will I get one?
Under the federal No Surprises Act you have the right to a written estimate of expected charges before care begins. You get yours when you schedule your first appointment. Your right to a Good Faith Estimate.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please give 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule.
Can I use an HSA or FSA card?
Ask me about payment methods when we talk. Many HSA and FSA cards can be used for counseling.
