Fees and insurance

Money is part of the conversation, so here is how it works.

Free first conversation

We start with a free 45-minute consultation. It’s a chance to tell me what’s going on, ask questions, and see whether we’re a good fit. There’s no obligation to continue.

Private pay

You can pay for sessions privately. We’ll go over the fee together in the free consultation.

If you pay privately and do not file a claim with an insurer, your care stays between the two of us: nothing is sent to an insurance company.

Using out-of-network benefits

Many insurance plans reimburse part of the cost of therapy with an out-of-network provider. If yours does, you pay for sessions and your insurer pays you back according to your plan. It’s worth calling the number on your insurance card and asking what your out-of-network mental health benefits are.

Insurance

I also accept some insurance plans. Ask me about yours when we speak.

Good faith estimate

If you are paying privately, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of your care before you begin.
