My Fees
My fee is $100 per 50 minute counseling session, but I offer a sliding scale from $80.00-$100.00 to make counseling more affordable. You may utilize the sliding scale if you feel based off your income, circumstance, life stage, or household size you could benefit from a lower fee. When reaching out about a new client appointment please let me know if you would like use the sliding scale and what rate you can afford from $80-$100. I can also send you a "Superbill" which is a statement showing you attended and paid for session. You can turn this into your insurance company and sometimes they will reimburse you for out of network benefits. I also take Health Savings Account or other similar spending cards to pay for sessions. I am happy to visit about fees or any questions you may have. Email me through the book appointment link and we can set up a free 10 minute phone consultation to see how I can help.
Insurance Information
I currently do not accept insurance because of the restrictions that may apply to your care, as a result of insurance company requirements.
I can provide a billable medical receipt for you to submit as an out-of-network provider, if you choose to utilize insurance. There are some important facts to know about mental health insurance:
-
Insurance companies require a diagnosis to pay for services. Many counseling issues do not warrant a full mental health diagnosis. For example, insurance companies rarely cover couples or marriage counseling. If you are in counseling because of a difficult life issue, you may not meet criteria for a diagnosis.
-
Insurance companies often determine the type of treatment and number of session that will be allowed. If you are more comfortable with a different type of treatment or different pace for sessions, the insurance company will not continue to cover the sessions.
-
If insurance pays for treatment, the insurance company may view all therapy notes at anytime. Your personal information becomes a permanent record that can be viewed by auditors.
I do my best to provide affordable care options so that you can make an informed choice.
