Fees, Insurance & Good Faith Estimate
Fees and Payment
I do not accept insurance directly. However, I am happy to provide monthly superbills for all clients who wish to seek out-of-network reimbursement from their insurance providers. Please note that reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on the specifics of your plan.
Sliding Scale Availability
In an effort to make therapy more accessible, I offer a limited number of sliding-scale fee spots for individuals experiencing financial hardship. I am committed to making mental health care more affordable and equitable; however, I am not able to offer reduced fees to all clients. If you are interested in exploring this option, I encourage you to reach out and we can discuss what may be possible for you. If your financial situation changes, we will revisit the topic together.
Session Frequency
Most clients attend therapy once per week, but the frequency and duration of sessions may vary depending on your needs, goals, and clinical recommendations. This will be discussed and agreed upon collaboratively.
Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
Providers are required by law to give clients who are not using insurance an estimate of expected charges for non-emergency services, including psychotherapy.
You have the right to request a Good Faith Estimate before your first session or at any point in your treatment.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the charges.
Be sure to save a copy or photo of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.

Important Considerations
While it is not possible to know in advance how many sessions may be necessary or appropriate, the total cost of therapy will depend on:
The number of sessions you attend
Your specific concerns and goals
The type and length of services provided
You are entitled to ask questions, decline recommendations, and discontinue therapy at any time.
