No Insurance? No Problem!
Mental health therapy is available to EVERYONE!
Privately paying for counseling allows me to be the most flexible and confidential with your care. I have found that using some insurances creates barriers for quality treatment. Private Pay = Privacy.
Typically insurance companies only cover a percentage of your care which tends to leave the cost for services being higher than the rate I offer.
Insurance companies dictate things like the number and length of sessions, and require that you are diagnosed with a mental health disorder. A mental health diagnosis remains permanently in your health record. Insurance companies also have access to know why you are going to therapy and what progress you are making. They have the right to audit your therapy files & notes, and ask questions of your therapist about your treatment.
Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or

Can I still work with my insurance?
Absolutely. I currently only accept limited insurances, however, some insurance companies may allow you to submit an invoice for reimbursement.
I can provide a monthly invoice that you may submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.
It is the client’s responsibility to confirm their out of network coverage and understand their details of submitting claims.
Cancellation policy
Policy states if your cancellation is less than 24-hours in advance, you will be charged 50% of your service fee. If you cancel within 3 hours there will be a 75% charge. If you no-show for an appointment, with no prior warning or cancellation notification, you will be charged 100% of the service fee. This policy is out of respect to the both of us. If you are late for a session, we will end at our regular time, as courtesy to the person scheduled after you.
