fees & insurance

Rates for Therapy  

I understand therapy is an investment and I aim to be as transparent as possible about my fees.

  • Phone consultation for potential therapy clients, 15 minutes, free

  • Initial consultation appointment, 60 minutes, $200

  • Individual therapy session, 55 minutes, $200

  • No show or cancellation with less than 24-hours notice, full session fee

  • Additional services performed on behalf of the client (such as completing memorandums or paperwork for outside agencies), $200 per hour, pro-rated. Please note: I do not bill an extra fee for routine administrative tasks associated with ongoing clinical care.

These fees reflect my rates for private pay sessions. If I accept your insurance, rates may be different.

Rates for Consultation Services

  • Phone consultation, $200 per hour, pro-rated

  • For projects such as organizational consulting, workshops, speaking engagements, or training events, my fee is determined according to your needs, the project size, the time commitment, and travel requirements. Please contact me for a quote and to discuss your needs. I am willing to provide a brief (i.e., less than 15 minutes) complimentary initial consultation about your project. Additional consultation is $200 per hour, pro-rated.

Assessment Fees

Psychological assessments typically cost $2,000 per evaluation. This fee may fluctuate depending on the referral question. The assessment includes an interview, all testing sessions, a comprehensive report, and a thorough feedback session with personalized feedback and recommendations.

I ask for half of the payment upon scheduling the initial assessment session, and the second half when you receive the written report.  Assessment fees are flat-rate in nature. The total cost will be provided to you prior to scheduling any appointments so there are no surprises or billing after-the-fact.  

Cancellation Policy

If you are unable to attend a scheduled session, please cancel and reschedule 24 hours in advance. Otherwise, you will be charged the full session fee. This is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and our session time is held exclusively for you. This fee reflects my rate for private pay sessions. If I accept your insurance, rates may be different.

Sliding Scale

I do not use a formal “sliding scale” formula or tool to determine session fees; however, I offer a limited number of reduced fee appointments each week for individuals with a demonstrated need. Please contact me to see if you may be eligible for a discounted fee.

Insurance

I accept Aetna, BlueCross and BlueShield, Carelon, and Quest insurance plans through Headway. Please see my Headway provider page for additional information.

I do not work directly with other insurances or Medicare/Medicaid at this time; however, please stay tuned as I am actively working on expanding my practice to work with Tricare beneficiaries.

Many insurance plans offer at least partial reimbursement for out-of-network services, and I am happy to provide you with a receipt or “superbill” that you can submit to your insurance carrier. Given how varied policies are, I recommend that you check with your insurance company to determine the extent of your out-of-network mental health benefits.  

If you plan to claim out-of-network benefits with your insurance, please reach out to your insurance provider prior to scheduling a consultation with me. For additional information about securing this information from your insurance provider, including questions I encourage you to ask, click here.

Payment Methods

I accept Health Savings Account (HSA) and credit/debit cards as forms of payment.

Notice of Good Faith

Under law, health care providers (including psychologists) are required to inform clients who do not have health insurance or who are paying for therapy out-of-pocket that they may request a "Good Faith Estimate" of expected charges for services at any point. You are encouraged and entitled to request an estimate before scheduling your first appointment. For more information or to dispute a charge that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, please visit the No Surprises Act website.
