  • A. $300 for the initial 90-minute session

    $200 for a 60-minute session

  • A. Session length depends on the type of service being provided and will be discussed with each client depending on your needs. In the beginning of our work together, I typically request a commitment of one session per week, depending on scheduling. Once it feels appropriate, we will decrease the frequency of therapy to an agreed-upon amount.

    In-office sessions: typically these are one hour in length

    EMDR sessions: these sessions can last between 1-1.5 hours and can be in-office or virtual sessions

    Teletherapy: these sessions are one hour in length

  • A. I am an Out-of-Network provider for all insurance companies, which means I cannot bill your insurance. I am happy to provide you with monthly paperwork (Superbill) to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. It is your responsibility to call your insurance company to find out if you have out-of-network benefits available to you. 

    Start by calling the member services number on the back of your insurance card and ask if you have any out-patient out-of-network mental/behavioral health services. Check your coverage carefully and make sure the member service representative explains your benefits so that you understand them.

    Additionally, You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. You can ask for this before you schedule a service. 

    Under the law, health care provides need to give patients who don’t have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the expected charges for medical service, including psychotherapy services. Please notify Insight Clinical Counseling if you are uninsured or do not plan to use insurance, and you will be provided with a Good Faith Estimate.

  • A. The following questions are helpful to ask:

    •Do I have a mental/behavioral health policy with out of network benefits?

    •How much is covered for each session?

    •Do I have an out of network deductible to reach?

    •If so, how much of that deductible is met already?

    •Is there a copay for sessions?

  • A. The best way to begin therapy is to contact me directly to set up an appointment. I will do my best to respond within two business days and consult with you regarding the best service to fit your needs. I recognize that you may have a busy schedule and try to accommodate this to the best of my ability.

  • A. I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. Please contact me at least 24 hours before your appointment to avoid being charged a cancellation fee. The cancellation fee is based on the agreed-upon rate we have established. For example, if you pay $200 per session, your late cancellation fee would be $200.

  • A. I use a HIPAA compliant app called IvyPay. Once you have set up your first session, you’ll receive a text notification with a link to the IvyPay app to set up your information.

  • A. Zoom is the technology service we will use to conduct telehealth videoconferencing appointments. I use a HIPAA compliant form of Zoom, so your private health information (PHI) is protected. It is simple to use, however, you will need to download an app for your computer, phone or tablet in order to participate in our sessions. It can be found on your computer at https://zoom.us, or by searching Zoom in your GooglePlay or Apple App Store.
