How much do sessions cost? 

Without insurance, my fee is $300 per session for individuals, and $350 for parents and couples.

What about insurance? 

Your insurance will likely cover a significant portion of my fee. I am no longer in-network with any insurance companies, but I do accept out-of-network benefits. When your out-of-network benefits are used for therapy, you usually pay between $50-$120 per session. You can find out how much therapy with me will cost by following these six steps, which takes roughly five minutes:

  1. Call your insurance company. The number is almost always on the back of your insurance card. If there is a number for Behavioral Health or Mental Health, call that number. Otherwise, call the number for member services. At the prompt, select Benefits and Eligibility.

  2. Say, “I am calling to check on my out-of-network benefits for routine psychotherapy provided in an outpatient, office setting.”

  3. Ask, “What is my yearly out-of-network deductible amount?” Write that number down.

  4. Ask, “Is this a calendar year deductible?” Write down that answer.

  5. Ask, “How much of my yearly deductible amount has been met to date?” Write down that number.

  6. Ask, “After my yearly deductible has been met, what is my co-insurance percentage? (It will be something like 60/40, 70/30, or 80/20). Write that percentage down.

  7. Ask, “Do I have an out-of-pocket max, and if so, what is that number?”

If you provide me the answers to questions 3-7, I can tell you how much each session will be. If they require a CPT or Procedure Code, give them 90834. If they require a diagnosis, give them F33.3. If they require my license information, you may tell them I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Do you handle the billing for insurance reimbursements?

I will provide you with a receipt at the last session of the month that you can submit to your insurance company, which is easily done through your online insurance page. Your insurance company is legally required to reimburse you within 40 days of receiving your claim. Submitting claims this way takes roughly 2 minutes and I will gladly help you do so if you don’t know how.

Can I contact you by phone or email? 

You may contact me by phone or email with a date and time when I can reach you. Though to ensure your privacy and confidentiality, I don't discuss clinical matters outside the consulting room. If you are unable to reach me in an emergency, call 911 or go immediately to the nearest emergency room.
