Do you accept insurance?

I do not currently offer direct insurance billing services. However, if your insurance plan includes out-of-network coverage, you can request reimbursement for your counseling services independently. Please inform me that you will be using out-of-network benefits. Additionally, I accept payments via FSA or HSA cards if your plan provides a flexible spending account option.

How much does each session cost?

• First Intake Session - $125 (75 minutes)

• Individual Standard Session - $100 (50 minutes)

• Couples Standard Session - $120 (50 minutes)

What happens in the first session?

During your first session, I will begin by reviewing the electronic paperwork you've completed. I will ask you questions to gain a deeper understanding of you and your unique situation. This session will provide an opportunity for you to discuss your reasons for seeking counseling and outline your treatment goals. I may ask additional questions to better comprehend your symptoms and concerns. Moreover, the initial session is a chance for you to ask any questions you may have for me, ensuring that you are comfortable and well-informed about the counseling process.

What is a good faith estimate?

A Good Faith Estimate is a document provided by healthcare providers to inform patients about expected medical service costs before treatment. It aims to offer transparency, enabling patients to make informed choices and adhere to a new law ensuring cost awareness, aiding in planning and budgeting.
