Frequently Asked Questions:
(Hey, it's like we're already talking...kind of!)
When can you meet?
-
My hours for therapy are 10-7, Monday-Thursday.
-
If I have an opening for a new client, that means I'm available during the same 50-minutes each week (e.g., every Monday at 1 to 1:50pm).
Where will we meet?
-
I offer therapy over a secure, confidential, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform.
-
We can arrange to meet in an office for a session about once per month, as long as each person feels safe to do so.
-
In the office, masks are not required. I only wear a mask when we are less than six feet apart.
-
What are your rates/fees?**
-
My current fee for individual, weekly therapy sessions is $250.
How do I pay you?
-
Before your first session, I will collect credit card information to keep on file and charge after each session.
Do you take insurance?
-
I do not accept insurance. Instead, I provide all of the information you need to submit a claim for reimbursement to your insurance company, if your plan includes out-of-network benefits.
-
Typical out-of-network benefits will reimburse 50-80% of therapy charges, after any yearly deductible is met.
-
How do I find out if (or how much) I can get reimbursed?
- You'll need to contact your health insurance company (call the Member Services number listed on the back of your card or log in to their website), and ask them the following:
-
"Do I have out-of-network coverage for outpatient psychotherapy?"
-
"What is my deductible, and have I met it yet?"
-
"What is my coinsurance?"
-
(Coinsurance = % that the insurance company will pay after the deductible has been met)
-
-
** Note about fees:
-
I reserve a limited number of reduced-fee spots for anyone who cannot afford my full fee. At the time of this edit (September 2022), there is one reduced-fee spot available.
-
When working with me, you are not only paying for our time together in a therapy session. Your session fee also covers the work I do throughout the week to provide you with the quality of care you deserve, including:
-
Email correspondence regarding administrative matters
-
Coordination and collaboration with your other healthcare providers, as appropriate
-
Brief phone calls in cases of mental health crisis
-
Research, educational courses, and professional training
-
Consultation with industry experts
-
Record-keeping
