Frequently asked Questions
What are your rates?
Intake Session: $285
The first session is 50 minutes and is considered an intake session. The intake fee includes a 45-minute follow-up online parent/caregiver consultation to thoroughly and collaboratively discuss assessments and build a treatment plan. This consultation will be scheduled after your child’s second therapy session.
Individual Therapy and Family Therapy: $185 per 50-minute session for both in-person and online sessions.
Parent Check-In Sessions are $125 per 45-minute session
I offer parent check-in calls to support you between therapy sessions. These 45-minute Zoom meetings are designed to provide personalized strategies, answer questions and help navigate any challenges you may be facing. I recommend scheduling a parent check-in call after every four or so therapy sessions to stay aligned on progress and next steps, though you are always welcome to schedule additional sessions if needed.
These sessions are billed under CPT code 90846 – Family Therapy (without the client present). For some insurance plans, these sessions may be reimbursable when submitted with a superbill. Please check with your insurance provider to confirm your out-of-network benefits and reimbursement options.
Coordination of Care: $125 per 45-minute session
For families who would like me to communicate with other professionals involved in your child’s care (e.g., doctors, specialists, school personnel), I offer coordination of care. This service helps ensure everyone is aligned and working together to provide the most effective support for your child.
When a parent or caregiver is present for the session the time can often be billed under CPT code 90846 (Family Therapy without the client present). In these cases, families may submit a superbill to their insurance company for possible reimbursement, depending on their out-of-network benefits.
When the parent or caregiver is not present, and I’m consulting with another provider or coordinating care separately, this time cannot be billed to insurance. These activities are considered non-reimbursable professional services and are available as a private-pay option.
Payment is due at the time of service via credit card.
Included Services at No Extra Charge
Introductory Phone Call: A 30-minute introductory phone call for all prospective clients to ensure my services are a good fit.
Meet & Greet with Your Child: A 30-minute Meet and Greet with your child to build rapport and determine if they feel safe and comfortable before beginning formal sessions.
Email Correspondence: All email correspondence related to your child’s therapy (quick updates, reminders or general questions) is included at no additional cost.
Session Follow-Up Emails: After each session, you will receive session follow-up emails summarizing the skills and strategies we explored, along with practical tips and parent scripts to use at home.
Safe and Sound Protocol Subscription: You will receive a 5-month subscription to the Safe and Sound Protocol for both you and your child.
Do you accept insurance?
As an out of network provider, I do not accept insurance; however, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. If you reach out to your insurance company, they can tell you how much they will reimburse you for my services. My license number is LH61379680.
If you plan to do this, check with your insurance first to determine if this is a possible option for you. Following are some helpful questions you might ask your insurance provider:
Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
Does my insurance plan require that I see providers on their panel?
Do I have a flex spending account and can I use it for payment of mental health services?
Ask your carrier to provide you with a list of providers near you, based on your zip code.
Is approval required from my primary care physician?
If I have mental health benefits, are out-of-network benefits included?
Is any pre-approval required before obtaining out-of-network mental health services in order to be reimbursed?
Do you provide testimony for divorce, custody and/or visitation/parental access support?
I do not participate in or provide support for custody hearings, custody/access disputes, visitation or divorce proceedings. These matters are not within my scope of practice.
Do you have a cancellation policy?
To be able to meet the needs of my clients, a predictable schedule must be in place. If you are late for an appointment, you will be seen for the remainder of your scheduled time and will be charged for the full session as scheduled. If you are unable to keep an appointment, please provide 24 hours advance notice; otherwise you may be charged for the time that was reserved for you. The exception to this policy is an emergency, such as weather or accident, or the unexpected onset of illness. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this policy. Thank you for your understanding.
What is a Good Faith Estimate?
In 2021, Congress passed the No Surprises Act to protect people from unanticipated healthcare costs. The cost of therapy is transparent and my rates are listed above. As a client, you will receive a Good Faith Estimate which includes a diagnosis (if applicable) and an estimated total cost of therapy services. Additionally, you have the right to discontinue therapy at any time.
