Do you take insurance? Why not?

To be honest, insurance companies make it very hard for therapists to provide individualized, high quality treatment.  Insurance companies expect me to diagnose you with a mental health disorder for them to pay for your sessions, they frequently limit the number and frequency of sessions and sometimes even deny coverage for what seems like a random reason. And you can't come to therapy for self exploration and growth if you want to use your insurance - you must have a diagnoseable mental health disorder to use insurance. 

​

I am an out-of-network provider with insurance companies. Some insurance companies will reimburse a portion of the fee that you pay me. You are responsible for paying the full session fee at the time of our appointment and I can provide an itemized receipt (superbill), upon request, which you can submit to your insurance company. If you are interested in exploring your out-of-network benefits, I encourage you to call your insurance company first to find out what your mental health benefits are.

​

Be aware that insurance may not reimburse for couple or family sessions.

How to Receive Reimbursement from Insurance

How to contact your insurance to discuss your out-of-network benefits:

 

  • Call the number on your insurance card and ask "Can I be be reimbursed for out - of - network mental health treatment?" 

​

  • If they say "yes" ask for all the details - how do you submit the superbill for reimbursement?  Will they pay for teletherapy?  Will you have to fulfil a deductible first?  ​

​​

Any billing or benefits issues related to your insurance company are between you and your insurance company.  

If you are unable to afford paying for weekly services out-of-pocket here are some alternative options: 

  • Choose a 2x a month appointment

  • Pursue reimbursement from your insurance agency. 

  • FSA/HSA Visa Cards – If your employer has provided you with the option of putting aside pre-taxed funds into a Flexible Spending or Healthcare Savings Account in the form of a Visa Card, you can use either of these accounts to pay for counseling.

  • Consider online therapy: Online therapy is a more affordable option than traditional therapy as you don't have to pay for gas or parking. 

  • Talk to me.  I have limited slots available for an income based lower fee.
