Fees
My fee for a 50-minute session is $175. I prorate my fee for phone check-ins or other consultations that go below or above 50 minutes.
Before we begin treatment, I will provide you with a good faith estimate of treatment costs.
I accept cash, check, and credit card payments made at the time of the appointment. We can also arrange for monthly billing with a credit card on file.
What is included in your fee
As your therapist, I dedicate space in my mind to your story and stories of significant others in your life. Beyond our 50-minute sessions, I think about historical and present influences on your emotional state and behaviors, as well as the best ways to support you. When I see children or teens, I consider the family and social histories of parents, caregivers, siblings, and other important people. I also reach out regularly to parents and often provide support outside of session. Sometimes I coordinate care with other providers, such as psychiatrists or school counselors, work that is often not charged.
What I do is complex, which is reflected in my fee.
Sliding scale
I recognize that therapy is expensive and out of reach for many people. A percentage of my practice is dedicated to clients who pay on a sliding scale. In general, these slots come up infrequently and disappear quickly. I do not currently have sliding scale openings and will update this page when one becomes available.
Using your health insurance
While I am on the panels for Cigna/Evernorth and UC-SHIP, I currently have no openings.
For other insurance companies, depending on your plan, my fees may be covered in part as an out-of-network provider. I can provide you with a monthly statement of your payments (“superbill”) which you may submit to your insurance company for potential partial reimbursement. You must have a mental health disorder diagnosis in order for your insurance company to consider the treatment medically necessary and therefore reimbursable.
