Session fees range from $150 to $200 per session (30–55 minutes), depending on service type and length. This includes standard clinical services, such as evaluations required for treatment planning or medical procedures (e.g., bariatric evaluations).

Payment for copays, deductibles, and non-covered services is due at the time of service. Please refer to the Insurance section for details regarding coverage, EAP services, and related policies.

Reports, letters, disability paperwork, and other administrative documentation outside of standard clinical services are billed at a rate of $150 to $200 per hour, prorated in 15-minute increments, with a minimum charge of $50. These services are not typically covered by insurance.

This may include, but is not limited to, treatment summaries, disability-related documentation, and general clinical letters.

Requests for documentation must be discussed during a scheduled session to determine appropriateness and scope.

Turnaround time for reports is typically 10–21 business days and reflects clinical scheduling and administrative availability. Expedited or urgent requests are not available.

Additional specialized evaluations may be available on a limited basis and are discussed individually.

Completed documentation is released once all associated fees have been paid in full.

Clients are responsible for submitting requests in advance of any external deadlines.

All documentation is based on clinical judgment and must be supported by appropriate evaluation and treatment history.

Please note, I do not provide forensic evaluations, custody recommendations, or legal opinions.

All other insurance plans are out-of-network. If you would like to file a superbill with your insurance and attempt to obtain reimbursement, please let me know and I will print a superbill after each session for you.

*Please note that I am not responsible for personal reimbursement with out-of-network insurance companies.

It is the responsibility of the client to know and understand your healthcare plan and associated co-pays. Not all plans cover mental health services and it will be your responsibility to pay the contracted reimbursement rate if your deductible has not been met and services are not covered until the deductible is met. A diagnosis is REQUIRED in order for Insurance to reimburse for your session. If you do not meet diagnostic criteria for a covered diagnosis, your session will have to be paid for out-of-pocket.

I strongly recommend calling your insurance company before making your first appointment
and asking these questions:

1. Is this clinician a provider for (insert your insurance plan)?
2. Does my insurance plan cover mental health counseling?
3. Does my insurance plan cover virtual counseling or phone sessions?
4. Must I meet a deductible before my insurance will pay for sessions?
5. If a deductible needs to be met, what is the deductible?
6. What will be my co-pay for mental health sessions?

I accept select Employee Assistance Program (EAP) plans. EAP benefits typically cover a
limited number of sessions at no cost to you.

Before your first appointment, please confirm the following with your EAP provider:

• Is this clinician in network with your EAP plan?
• How many sessions are authorized?
• What is your EAP authorization number?
• What is the authorization start and end dates?

Please note: Sessions will not be held without valid EAP authorization on file. If authorization is not provided, the session will be considered private pay. Once your authorized EAP sessions are used, you may choose to continue therapy using insurance or private pay.

EAP benefits are separate from your health insurance. If you plan to continue services after your EAP sessions are used, you are responsible for confirming the following:

• This provider is in network with your insurance plan, or
  You have out-of-network benefits

You are also responsible for verifying:

• Copay or coinsurance amounts
• Deductible status
• Authorization or referral requirements

If insurance coverage cannot be confirmed, ongoing sessions will be considered private pay.

Clients may choose to pay for services out-of-pocket rather than using insurance. Private pay offers greater flexibility and privacy, as services are not reported to an insurance company and a diagnosis is not required for reimbursement purposes. Some clients prefer private pay to maintain greater control over their care and treatment documentation.

Session fees are listed above. Payment is due at the time of service. Credit cards and debit cards are accepted.

A limited number of appointment times are available due to a part-time schedule. For this reason, sliding scale fees are not offered.

If requested, a superbill can be provided for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Please note that insurance companies typically require a mental health diagnosis to process reimbursement claims. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your individual plan.
