What It Costs
Therapy is one of the few investments that pays dividends in every area of your life. Your relationships. Your focus. Your ability to show up for the people who matter most to you. Here's what to expect:
$210
Standard 50-Minute Therapy Session
$315
Extended 90-Minute Therapy Session
Why I Don't Accept Insurance
I don't accept insurance, and it's worth explaining why.
Billing insurance requires a formal mental health diagnosis, which becomes part of your permanent medical record. Depending on your situation, that record could potentially be accessed in ways you might not anticipate. Through future insurance applications, certain employment processes, or legal proceedings.
For many of my clients, privacy and discretion matter a great deal. The out-of-pocket model keeps your records between us. That's a meaningful difference for a lot of people.
If you have out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement. I can't confirm what your plan covers, but I'll gladly provide a superbill after your session for you to submit to your insurance provider.
A Note on Couples Counseling
There's something else worth knowing if you're coming in together as a couple. Most insurance plans don't cover couples or marital therapy at all, no matter which provider you see.
The reason is that insurance will only reimburse when there's a diagnosable mental health condition in one individual. But the things that bring couples to therapy, like feeling disconnected, struggling to communicate, or simply wanting to build a stronger relationship, don't fit neatly into that box, even though they're some of the most meaningful reasons to reach out for support.
While insurance generally won't cover this work, I’ve found that it's some of the most worthwhile work a couple can do together.
Do You Offer a Sliding Scale?
I don't offer a sliding scale or payment plans at this time. If cost is a barrier, I'd encourage you to look into Open Path Collective or Psychology Today's therapist finder, both of which can help connect you with providers who offer reduced rates.
If you're on the fence about whether the investment makes sense, let's talk about it during the consultation. I'd rather have that conversation openly than have cost be the thing that keeps you from getting support.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate”
explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have certain types of health care coverage or who are not using certain types of health care coverage an estimate of their bill for health care items and services before those items or services are provided.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any health care items or services upon request or when scheduling such items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
If you schedule a health care item or service at least 3 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 1 business day after scheduling. If you schedule a health care item or service at least 10 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after scheduling. You can also ask any health care provider or facility for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you do, make sure the health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after you ask.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more for any provider or facility than your Good Faith Estimate from that provider or facility, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate and the bill.
The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment.
The Good Faith Estimate does not reflect any reimbursement you may receive through out-of-network benefits.
