FAQ

  • All sessions are virtual and held through a HIPAA compliant video platform. 

  • I am in-network with UnitedHealthCare and Aetna.

    For all other insurance I am out-of-network but I have partnered with Mentaya, a platform that helps clients get money back on out-of-network therapy sessions. Use this link to see if you qualify for reimbursement from your insurance plan.

    If you have out-of-network benefits, Mentaya will file claims and handle the insurance paperwork to help you get reimbursed. They charge a 5% fee per claim and have helped people get thousands of dollars back per year. 

    Mentaya's goal is to save you time and money. It's completely optional, and as your therapist I do not benefit in any way from your participation.

    Individual session (55 minutes):  $180

    Parent coaching/counseling (55 minutes):  $180

  • Everyone is different in how long they are in therapy. This is always an open discussion to evaluate your needs and goals for therapy. I like to meet weekly for the first several months so we can get to know each other. The quality of the relationship is one of the most important aspects of therapy. After several months, we can check in to see if it makes sense to move down to bi-weekly sessions.

  • Under the No Surprises Act you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical 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 bill for medical items and services. 

    You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate. The Good Faith Estimate will include  the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services such as: the cost of the non-emergent clinic visit, plus any tests, procedures, and supplies.

    Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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.
