The intake session is an 80 - 90 minutes in length. This allows ample time for us to discuss your primary reasons for seeking therapy and for me to provide detailed psychoeducation on treatment options.

My practice is currently out-of-network with insurance agencies. This allows for the utmost privacy in your treatment, and the flexibility to meet in the community for exposure sessions. I am happy to provide a Superbill for reimbursement, and have had clients receive up to 80% of their fees back contingent on their benefits.

Session fees are due at the completion of each appointment, no pre-payment necessary! Accepted payment methods are: credit / debit card, Health Savings Account, Paypal, or bank transfer. I offer a confidential patient portal through Simple Practice where clients can upload information for their preferred payment method.
-
Clients must provide 24 hours notice in order to cancel an appointment with no cancellation fee. Sessions can be cancelled through the patient portal, or by reaching out through secure client messaging or via email. If a session is cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, the full session fee applies. Session fees may be partially waived due to a verifiable emergency on a case by case basis.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to request a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
