Payment

Private-pay

For several reasons, I do not bill commercial insurance plans but I’ll provide a monthly invoice if you have out-of-network coverage. Many clients choose to pay for therapy from “out-of-pocket” rather than using an insurer for several reasons. 

• “Private-pay” provides privacy for you and prevents a diagnosis label permanently attached to your health record.  

• You don’t need to reveal or justify your reason for seeking therapy.

• Your care, goals, and treatment plan and tenure aren’t decided by a regimented insurance plan but collaboratively negotiated between you and me.  

• You are able to select the therapist of your choice, rather than choosing from a limited provider list. 

Out-of-Network

If you have an insurance plan that includes coverage for out-of-network providers, I’m glad to supply you with a monthly invoice that you may submit for reimbursement. 

Connect with your plan directly to verify your coverage. Please check carefully by asking the following questions:

• Do I have an out-of-network mental health benefit?

• Will my coverage help pay for a licensed marriage & family therapist?

• What is my deductible and has it been met?

• Is there a limit to the number of sessions per plan year?

• What is the coverage amount per therapy session? Be sure to verify if there is a co-pay and/or co-insurance component(s).

Payment Options

Payment is due at time of service. I accept check or cash. I offer a limited number of reduced rate appointments and will happily share availability.
