Questions? You can reach me directly via email.
Fees and Insurance Information
I value confidentiality and believe that your therapy should be guided by you, rather than your insurance company. Therefore, I do not participate in managed care plans.
I collect payment at the time of service. At the end of the month, I’ll give you a receipt which includes all of the information you need to submit for reimbursement.
Please check with your insurance company prior to our first meeting to understand your benefits. You can ask your insurance company the following questions:
What is the coverage for “outpatient psychotherapy services?”
What is the percentage of reimbursement for an “out of network provider” including any deductible amounts?
I do have some availability to take patients for sliding scale services.
I accept cash, checks, and Venmo.
Contact me with any questions and to schedule your initial consultation.
