We are private pay and do not accept insurance at this time. Please see our Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about why we are private pay. We can provide superbills if clients have out-of-network mental health coverage, and clients must confirm their coverage with their insurance. Clients pay the full fee in session and then will be responsible for filing for reimbursement with their insurance company. We cannot guarantee reimbursement and do not work directly with any insurance companies. Please note – couples therapy is not usually covered by insurance. We suggest contacting your insurance provider to learn about out-of-network behavioral health coverage.
We offer a free 15-minute phone consult for all new clients prior to your first session. Finding a good therapeutic match is incredibly important for getting the most out of counseling, and this consult allows us both to discover if we will be a good fit.

Good Faith Estimate:
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.
