Frequently Asked Questions
What are your rates?
Intake Session ~ $285
50-minute session (in-person or telehealth)
CPT Code: 90791
The first appointment is a 50-minute intake session with your child present. I encourage parents to attend this first session so we can begin getting to know each other together and help your child feel comfortable in the space.
This session looks similar to a typical therapy session. I use conversation, observation, and playful activities to begin understanding your child’s strengths, interests,and areas where they may be struggling.
We’ll also talk about your concerns as a parent and what you’re hoping therapy will support for your child and family.
Included with the intake:
• A 45-minute follow-up parent consultation (via Zoom) at a time convenient for you
• Review of early observations
• Collaborative treatment planning
This parent consultation is typically scheduled after your child’s second therapy session.
Therapy Sessions
Individual Therapy ~ $185
50-minute session (in-person or telehealth)
CPT Code: 90834
Individual therapy provides a supportive space where children can explore their experiences, express emotions, and better understand themselves.
Through play, conversation, and creative activities, children are supported in developing:
• emotional awareness
• confidence
• problem-solving abilities
• stronger relationships
I believe every child’s brain and personality are unique. My goal is to help children better understand themselves, build confidence, and develop the tools they need to thrive in their relationships and daily lives.
Parent involvement
Children benefit when caregivers are involved in the therapy process. Parents may participate in sessions in different ways depending on what their child needs.
This might include:
• brief check-ins at the beginning or end of sessions
• joining for part of the session
• remaining present for the full session when helpful
Parent participation during the child’s therapy session is considered part of the child’s treatment and is not billed separately.
Sibling Sessions
Family / Sibling Therapy — $200
50-minute session
CPT Code: 90847 – Family Psychotherapy with Patient Present
Sometimes it can be helpful to include a sibling in therapy.
Sibling relationships are incredibly important, and they can sometimes bring up strong feelings or challenges.
During these sessions we focus on helping children learn skills such as:
• communicating feelings
• resolving conflicts
• understanding each other’s perspectives
• working through challenges together
Sessions often include structured play activities, cooperative games or creative exercises so children can practice new ways of interacting.
To protect the child’s individual therapy space, sibling sessions are planned in advance and are usually scheduled occasionally rather than regularly (generally no more than once every five sessions unless clinically indicated).
Parent Consultation
Parent Consultation Sessions — $155
40-minute Zoom session
CPT Code: 90846 – Family Psychotherapy without Patient Present
Parent consultation is an important part of child therapy.
These meetings give us time to:
• review progress
• discuss treatment goals
• talk about what’s happening at home or school
• develop strategies to support your child
Parents are expected to schedule a consultation after every four therapy sessions.
You will receive an email reminder before the fourth session so we can schedule a time that works for you. Many parents prefer morning appointments, though we can find a time that fits your schedule.
A superbill can be provided if you wish to submit the session to your insurance for possible reimbursement.
Coordination of Care
Sometimes it is helpful for me to communicate with other professionals involved in your child’s care, such as:
• pediatricians
• psychiatrists
• school staff
• other specialists
This collaboration helps ensure everyone supporting your child is working together in a thoughtful and coordinated way.
Coordination of care fees:
• Under 20 minutes — no charge
• 40 minutes — $155
Because these consultations occur without the client present, they are considered non-reimbursable professional services and are private pay.
Payment
Payment is due at the time of service via credit card.
Included Services (No Extra Charge)
Introductory Phone Call
A 30-minute phone consultation for prospective families to determine if my services are a good fit.
Meet & Greet with Your Child
A 30-minute visit to help your child become familiar with the space before beginning therapy.
Email Communication
Brief emails related to scheduling or therapy updates.
Session Follow-Up Emails
Parents may receive short follow-up emails summarizing themes from sessions along with practical ideas and parent scripts.
Do you accept insurance?
I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance directly.
However, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
My license number is LH61379680.
You may want to ask your insurance provider:
• Do I have mental health benefits?
• Are out-of-network providers covered?
• What is the reimbursement rate per session?
• Is pre-authorization required?
• How many sessions are covered each year?
Legal Matters
I do not participate in custody disputes, divorce proceedings, or visitation evaluations, as these matters fall outside the scope of my clinical services.
Cancellation Policy
Therapy works best when sessions are consistent.
Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice may be charged the full session fee.
If you arrive late, the session will still end at the scheduled time so the next client can begin on time.
Exceptions may be made for emergencies or sudden illness.
Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act, clients have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate outlining the expected cost of therapy services.
You will receive this estimate before beginning treatment, and you may pause or discontinue therapy at any time.
