FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How often do we meet?
Most clients attend weekly 50–60 minute sessions, though frequency can be adjusted based on your needs and goals.
What are your fees?
Individual therapy sessions are $225 per 50 minute session.
Do you accept insurance?
I am in-network with Aetna. For clients with other PPO insurance plans, I work as an out-of-network provider. Depending on your plan, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement for psychotherapy services.
Clients may also be able to use HSA, FSA, or HRA funds to pay for therapy sessions depending on their plan benefits.
Because insurance coverage varies by plan, I recommend contacting your provider directly to learn more about your out-of-network mental health benefits, deductible, and reimbursement rates. Helpful questions to ask include:
-
Do I have out-of-network benefits for psychotherapy?
-
What is my deductible, and how much has been met?
-
Are there limits on the number of therapy sessions covered each year?
-
What percentage of sessions are reimbursed?
-
Is pre-authorization required for therapy services?
Do you offer sliding scale rates?
I do offer a limited number of sliding scale spots based on financial need and availability. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to ask about current openings.
What is your cancellation policy?
If an appointment is cancelled, missed, or rescheduled with less than 24 hours’ notice, you will be charged the full fee for the missed session, except in the event of an emergency.
What is a good faith estimate?
A Good Faith Estimate explains the expected cost of therapy services. Under federal law, clients who are uninsured or not using insurance have the right to receive an estimate of anticipated charges before beginning services.
Since fees are agreed upon ahead of time, you can generally anticipate your overall cost for therapy sessions. If you would like a written Good Faith Estimate, I’m happy to provide one upon request.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the charge. You’ll want to keep a copy of your estimate for your records.
