    Rates & Insurance

    Rates

    Late cancellation/ missed appointment: 50% of the payment for the missed session

    Insurance

    Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services.

    We recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:

    • Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
    • Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
    • Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
    • Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?

    Payment

    All session fees and payments are accepted via credit card or Stripe. Payment is due prior to, or at, session time.
    First-time clients must book their initial session using a valid credit card. We value your privacy and safety. Your information is always kept secure.

    Cancellation Policy

    We observe a 24-hr cancellation policy. Within 24 hours’ notice, you may reschedule your appointment for a later date in time. If you do not provide AT LEAST 24 HOURS’ NOTICE, you are responsible for 50% of the payment for the missed session, unless otherwise discussed with me. This is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you. If you are late for a session, you may lose some of that session time.

    Good Faith Estimate

    You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

    Under the 2021 No Surprises Act, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical services, including psychotherapy.

    • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
    • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
