Therapy Investment
Become a priority in your life.
Therapy is an investment in yourself and in the life you want to feel more connected to. I see therapy as a space to slow down and make room for the questions, uncertainties, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll explore what it means to move through this season of your life in a way that feels more grounded, intentional, and aligned with who you are.
You deserve it.

-
It’s important to me that therapy is accessible and affordable. We can navigate ways that will meet both your personal and financial goals. Some options are:
I can provide invoices so you can use your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)
I can provide Superbills so you can get possible reimbursement from your out-of-network benefits
I have reserved a limited amount of slots for individuals paying reduced fees.
Don’t let my rate discourage you from contacting me. More often than not, I am able to come up with an acceptable arrangement with most people. Even when this is not the case, I can refer you to other therapists who are able to accommodate your financial needs
-
I accept Cigna/Evernorth insurance. Please contact me to verify your benefits.
For other insurances, I am considered an "out-of-network" provider.
Many insurance companies reimburse for ‘out-of-network providers’ (typically PPO insurance plans). I would be happy to provide you with a SuperBill, which is an itemized receipt of services that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. This means that you are responsible for the fees at the time of our appointment and, depending on your plan, a certain percentage of that may be paid to you by your insurance company.
If you're unsure if you have out-of-network benefits, call your insurance company and ask about whether or not they offer reimbursement for behavioral health, at what percentage, and whether you need to hit a deductible first. It's worth asking the questions and advocating to get the best therapist fit for you. Please be sure to inform them that services will take place via telehealth/online therapy.
Please note that I cannot guarantee nor take responsibility for your reimbursement. I encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly to understand your coverage and learn what options are available to you before starting services.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Each therapy experience is highly individualized and is dependent on a number of factors including your schedule, therapist’s availability, ongoing life challenges, the specific nature of the presenting issue you’re bringing, and engagement in the therapeutic process between sessions.
Research suggests that most clients who begin therapy will feel significant clinical improvement after 12 to 15 sessions. Some clients feel better enough that they end services with that time. Others find that they enjoy the process of therapy and want to continue. Either way, my goal is to have you meet your goals as soon as possible and leave therapy feeling confident in your own skills and abilities, not reliant on your therapist.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
