Investing in Your Well-Being
Therapy is a meaningful investment in your emotional health, relationships, and overall quality of life. My practice is designed to offer thoughtful, personalized care in a private-pay setting, allowing us to focus fully on your treatment without the limitations often created by insurance companies.
I work with adults and couples seeking support for burnout, prolonged stress, trauma, grief, ADHD, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative, relational, and tailored to your individual needs.
Insurance & Out-of-Network Benefits
I am a private-pay practice and do not bill insurance directly with one exception. I take some Aetna Insurance Plans for individual intake and therapy services.
Choosing private pay allows for greater privacy, flexibility, and treatment that is guided by your clinical needs rather than insurance restrictions.
If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Reimbursement rates vary depending on your specific plan.
I recommend contacting your insurance provider and asking:
Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
What percentage of the fee is reimbursed?
Is there a deductible I must meet first?
Do I need preauthorization for outpatient psychotherapy?
How many sessions are covered annually?
Why I Do Not Bill Insurance for Couples Therapy
Most insurance plans do not reimburse for couples therapy unless one partner receives a mental health diagnosis and treatment is framed as medically necessary for that individual. This can create limitations that do not reflect the true nature of relationship work.
Couples therapy is often focused on patterns of communication, emotional disconnection, conflict cycles, trust repair, and rebuilding the relationship itself—not treating one person as the identified problem.
By working as a private-pay practice, I am able to keep the focus where it belongs: on the relationship, the shared patterns, and the goals you are working toward together.
Private pay for couples therapy also offers:
Greater privacy, without requiring a mental health diagnosis to be submitted to insurance
More flexibility in session length and treatment planning
The ability to use extended sessions when clinically helpful
Treatment guided by what is best for the relationship, rather than insurance restrictions
This approach supports deeper, more honest work and allows therapy to remain centered on collaboration rather than medical necessity requirements.

Additional Professional Services
Requests outside of scheduled therapy sessions that require significant time, review, or documentation are billed separately.
These services may include:
Completion of requested forms, letters, or documentation
Review of extensive outside records or reports
Coordination requiring substantial clinical review
Extended consultation outside of scheduled appointments
Court-related requests, reports, or professional communication (when appropriate and within scope of practice)
Fees for Additional Services
These services are billed at a prorated rate based on the standard clinical hourly fee.
Examples may include:
Treatment summaries, Disability documentation, or workplace accommodation forms
Leave of absence paperwork
Extensive Record review for continuity of care in medically complex situations
Extended written communication requiring clinical decision-making
Whenever possible, fees will be discussed in advance so expectations are clear.
Insurance does not reimburse for most administrative or documentation requests, and these services remain the financial responsibility of the client.
Payment Policy
Payment is due at the time of service.
Accepted forms of payment include major credit cards and HSA/FSA cards.
A card is securely kept on file through the client portal for convenience and HIPAA-compliant processing.
Cancellation Policy
I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling.
Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice, as well as missed appointments, are charged the full session fee.
This policy helps protect consistent treatment and reserves time specifically for you.
Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act, clients who are not using insurance have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges for services.
You can request this estimate before beginning treatment or at any time during care.
Questions About Fees
I understand that beginning therapy is both an emotional and financial decision. I’m happy to answer questions about fees, superbills, or whether my practice may be a good fit for your needs.
