If you are out of network or your insurance or group is not listed in the link above, I can issue you a receipt which you can submit on your own to be reimbursed by your insurance company or FSA.
Our initial session will be 60 minutes, while all follow-up sessions will last approximately 50 minutes.
Payments are accepted by exact cash or credit card through my secure Electronic Health Record (EHR).
Do you have lower fee slots?
Yes! I offer a limited number of low-fee slots because I understand that not everyone can afford my full fee. Please check with me to see if I have any open slots available.
Do you accept insurance?

If your insurance/group is not listed above, you can call your insurance company to get information on your “out of network” benefits. I can gladly provide you with a receipt which you can submit to your insurance company and try to receive a reimbursement from them. Many clients have been able to get a portion of their fees reimbursed for the cost of sessions in this manner.
I recommend calling the toll-free number on the back of your insurance card to find out the specifics of your plan for out-of-network mental health providers.
However, I do have to inform you that for you to submit for this type of out-of-network reimbursement, I would have to assign you a “Diagnosis Code,” as required by the insurance companies, which becomes part of your permanent medical record.
Can another person pay for my sessions?
What is your cancellation policy?
What if it’s my first time making an appointment?
First appointment details: If a person makes an appointment, time and money will be saved if forms are filled out in advance. I will send you all the paperwork electronically using your email. I send you the email link to the paperwork through my Electronic Health Record (EHR), which is a private, HIPAA secure platform. You can review and sign all paperwork electronically. You don’t have to worry about printing out anything.
If you don’t have access to e-mail, please let me know, and we can work around this.
I require that all electronic paperwork be completed at least 48 hours before our scheduled appointment in order to keep your appointment.
I require clients to arrive to the first appointment with forms filled-out to allow more time to get to know each other. But no worries, I will walk you through the process when you contact me.
