Fees & Insurance
My practice is private-pay, allowing us to make decisions about your treatment based on your individual needs and therapeutic goals. I do not participate in insurance networks or bill insurance companies directly.
Professional Fees
My standard fees, effective November 1, 2026, are:
Individual Initial Intake/Diagnostic Assessment (50 minutes): $310*
Individual Psychotherapy (50 minutes): $235*
Couples/Family Comprehensive Assessment (50 minutes, per appointment): $310*
Couples/Family Psychotherapy (50 minutes): $260*
The assessment process may require more than one appointment, particularly when working with couples or families. Each assessment appointment is billed separately.
*A discounted rate is available for scheduled assessment and psychotherapy sessions paid by cash, check, or Zelle. Fees for extended sessions and other professional services may differ.
A complete Fee Schedule, including payment policies, is provided before beginning treatment.
Insurance & Out-of-Network Benefits
Although I do not bill insurance companies directly, clients with out-of-network mental health benefits may be eligible for partial reimbursement.
Upon request, I can provide a superbill (an itemized statement of services) that you may submit to your insurance company. Reimbursement depends on your individual insurance plan and is not guaranteed.
A note about couples therapy: Insurance companies generally do not cover couples counseling when the primary focus is relationship concerns rather than treatment of a diagnosed mental health condition. Coverage for couples or family psychotherapy varies by plan and may depend on medical necessity and other requirements.
I encourage you to contact your insurance company before beginning treatment to clarify your out-of-network benefits.
New Client Paperwork
Once we have agreed to begin working together, I will provide the necessary intake forms and practice policies for you to review and complete before your first appointment.
These documents include information about informed consent, confidentiality, communication, professional fees, and payment arrangements.
If you have questions about any of the paperwork, we can discuss them before you sign.
Authorization for Release of Confidential Information
If you would like me to communicate or exchange confidential information with another healthcare provider, professional, or individual, please complete the authorization form below.
Authorization for Release of Confidential Information
This form is only needed when you wish to authorize the release or exchange of information. It is not required as part of the standard intake paperwork.
Notice of Privacy Practices
Your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal health information are important aspects of psychotherapy.
My Notice of Privacy Practices explains how your health information may be used or disclosed, your rights regarding that information, and my responsibilities for protecting your privacy.
No Surprises Act: Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
Notice Required by Federal Law
Under the federal No Surprises Act, individuals who do not have health insurance or who are not using their insurance to pay for psychotherapy services generally have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) of expected charges.
A Good Faith Estimate is a written estimate of the anticipated cost of psychotherapy. It is not a bill or a guarantee of the total cost of treatment. Actual charges may vary depending on the type, frequency, and duration of services provided.
If you are uninsured or not using insurance to pay for services, you generally have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate when scheduling an appointment at least three business days in advance. You may also request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling an appointment.
My practice is private-pay, and I do not bill insurance companies directly. I discuss professional fees with prospective clients and provide a written Fee Schedule. I also provide individualized written Good Faith Estimates to clients receiving psychotherapy services.
For ongoing psychotherapy, estimates may cover an anticipated period of treatment and are based on the services and frequency reasonably expected at the time the estimate is prepared. An estimate does not obligate you to attend a particular number of sessions.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you may have the right to dispute the charges through the federal patient-provider dispute resolution process. Generally, a dispute must be initiated within 120 calendar days of receiving the initial bill.
You are welcome to ask questions about the cost of psychotherapy, the anticipated frequency or duration of treatment, or your Good Faith Estimate at any time.
