Insurance and Fee Information

  • I am an out of network provider with all insurance contracts. This means I do not directly accept insurance or interface with insurance representatives. My clients pay my full service fee at the time of service.

  • Payment may be made by Zelle transfer free of charge. Should you elect to use a credit card, credit card processing fees apply. Credit card processing fees are currently 3.15% + $0.30 for each successful transaction. The fee applies to all major credit, debit, FSA, and HSA cards, and ensures secure, integrated payment processing.

    • 50 minute Individual Psychotherapy = $200

    • 50 minute Couples/Family Psychotherapy = $250

    • 90 minute initial evaluation = $360

    • Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation for ED, SUD, or OCD = $500

      [2 hour level of care evaluation that includes treatment placement recommendations]

    • Extended (alternative) session time requests are pro-rated within 15 minute increments, based on a 45 minute hourly standard (60 minute, 75 minute, 90 minutes, etc.)

    • 30 minute sessions are available only as a supplemental service to ongoing weekly appointments, and are reserved for established clients

    • Administrative fees apply for document review, document provision, and family or treatment team communication by phone or email correspondence. These fees are billed at the rate of $25/15 minutes of billable hours

    • All fees are clearly outlined in my fee disclosure form, available to any current clients

  • I provide monthly superbills, which are detailed receipts of service. Superbills are inclusive of all medical information necessary to create eligibility for insurance reimbursement. You may submit these superbills to your insurance carrier to seek potential reimbursement.

  • My decision to be an out of network provider is highly intentional. Insurance dictates which therapeutic approaches, treatment timelines, and costs they choose to cover or endorse. Insurance operates within a generalized and generic framework, discounting countless relevant clinical factors that are specific to you. Insurance barriers for providers are deeply rooted in low and stagnant reimbursement rates, non- payment for administrative work hours, and slow payment processing time.

  • Within a private pay structure, I can ensure I will provide the best, most indicated treatment interventions on the best, most indicated timeline for YOU. If we need to shift our therapeutic focus to more acute life circumstances, we can. If we need to do exposures outside of my office, we can. If you need a longer session, I can accommodate that. If you need more than one session in a week, I can accommodate that. I understand privately paying for therapy is a significant investment, and I do not take your commitment to working with me within this pay structure lightly. I strive to elevate the private pay benefits to a level that offsets the burden of insurance-based restrictions and limitations.

  • Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be considered a late cancellation and incur a cancellation fee. Monday cancellations need to be cancelled by the session time on the prior Friday, as Saturday/Sunday are non-working days for my practice. The late cancellation fee is equivalent to the missed session rate, as this is billable time that may have been allotted to another client otherwise. If a client is more than 15 minutes late to a session, the session will be considered a late cancellation.

  • If you are any more than 15 minutes late to your session, the session will be considered a late cancellation and you will be billed the full session fee. You will not be guaranteed a partial session if you are more than 15 minutes late. A pattern of tardiness, as well as shorter session durations is considered treatment-interfering behavior and will negatively impact the efficacy of our work and time together.

  • For Lyra referred clients, your initial employee-sponsored sessions are 100% fully covered. Some Lyra clients are eligible for continuing and unlimited weekly therapy sessions, sponsored by your employer’s Lyra contract. Please reach out to me for more information or to clarify your unique financial arrangement with my practice.

  • My application is pending as an approved out of network provider for Tricare West.

  • Very simply, the No Surprises Act protects the patient from being billed for any additional charges beyond what is explicitly disclosed in our initial intake documents. No bill should be a surprise. A comprehensive outline of all clinical fees is available upon request to all current clients.
