Session Fees and Pricing For Self-pay & EMDR Intensive Clients

Initial Consultation: $0 (15 minute phone call).

Out-of-Network Clients:

Self-pay rate: $150 per session (53 minutes) All self-pay clients are required to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE). Learn more about the GFE in the Privacy & Policy section on this website.

Payment Methods

I accept major credit/debit cards and fees can be paid via the client portal. Payment is due at the time of service unless otherwise agreed upon.

Cancellation and No-Show Policy

  • A 24-hour notice is required to cancel a session. There will be a $100 fee for a no-show and appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice. The fee will be waived if able to reschedule within the same week.

  • This policy is for in-network insurance clients and self-pay clients. Insurance does not cover or reimburse cancellation fees and clients are responsible for the cancellation fee. A valid credit card on file will be charged for the fee.

Exceptions: I understand emergencies happen— we can discuss what constitutes an emergency.

Insurance Information

I am in network with with the following insurance providers: Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and Aetna PPO. Some insurance plans may fully or partially cover telehealth services. I recommend contacting your insurance provider to understand your mental health benefits.

For out-of-network clients, I can provide super-bills for reimbursements. Please contact your insurance provider for answers to these questions to determine your benefits.

  • Does my insurance include mental health services?

  • Does my plan limit to how many sessions I may have in one calendar year?

  • Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it? Have I met it?

  • Do I need written doctor approval to cover mental health services?

Telehealth Billing and Reimbursement

My telehealth sessions comply with HIPAA regulations to protect your privacy. If you’re using insurance, I’ll handle the billing directly for in-network providers. For out-of-network claims, I’ll assist by providing necessary documentation (e.g., superbills)
