My standard rate for individual therapy is $200 and $240 for couples. I offer community services/reparations to anyone who has been harmed by oppressive systems - incarceration, foster care, immigration enforcement, forced hospitalization or others. Whether you experienced it directly or hold the impacts as a family member or partner, you deserve healing.

If able, contributions to the Community Support Scale help make psychotherapy accessible for all impacted by systemic injustices.

FEES

For psychotherapy, I accept cash, check, and all major credit/debit cards. I am an "out of network provider” meaning I do not accept insurance, but I do provide superbills if you wish to seek reimbursement.

INSURANCE

I am an "out of network provider". I can provide an itemized statement called a "superbill" for your insurance company. Many plans offer reimbursement for out of network care, you can confirm your specific benefits with your policy. When using an insurance plan to help pay for therapy and other mental health services, there are several factors to keep in mind.

Insurance plans require a mental health diagnosis, and maintain some types of access to treatment records. I believe that using insurance can allow access to needed therapeutic support, and I will work with you to ensure that your confidentiality is maintained as best as possible. 

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 call  (800) 368-1019.
