Choosing to begin therapy is a courageous investment in yourself

This page shares everything you need to know about fees, insurance, and payments so you can plan for your care with confidence.

What Are the Session Fees?

Initial intake session (75 minutes): $300
Ongoing individual therapy sessions (50 minutes): $250

If you are unsure whether this therapeutic approach aligns with your needs, I offer a free 20-minute consultation to discuss your concerns and explore whether working together would be supportive.

Do You Accept Insurance?

I am considered an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance companies directly. However, many clients are able to receive reimbursement for therapy services through their out-of-network mental health benefits. The amount reimbursed can vary depending on your individual plan.

To support this process, I provide a monthly superbill, which is an itemized receipt that you can submit to your insurance company. I am happy to walk you through this process and offer guidance on how to make the most of your benefits.

How Can I Check My Out-of-Network Coverage?

You may call your insurance provider and ask the following questions:

Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
What is my deductible, and how much of it has been met?
What percentage of the session fee will be reimbursed?
How many sessions are covered each year?
Do I need prior authorization for therapy?
What documentation is required to receive reimbursement (for example, a superbill)?
Does my plan cover services provided by a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California or a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan?

How Can I Pay for Sessions?

I accept the following payment methods:

All major credit and debit cards
Venmo
Zelle

Payment is due after each session.

What Is the Cancellation Policy?

Life is often unpredictable, and sometimes plans need to change.

If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please provide at least 48 hours notice. Appointments that are canceled with less than 48 hours notice, or missed entirely, are charged the full session fee.
