Frequently Asked Questions
Insurance & Fees
-
Yes, In Network with multiple commercial insurance plans including
Aetna, Cigna, Carelon, United Healthcare, Regence Blue Shield, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Premera and Quest.
-
You may still be able to use out of network benefits and receive partial reimbursement for therapy, if your plan allows.
I will provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance company. Please check your specific coverage with your insurance.
Some clients choose to pay privately (self-pay) rather than use insurance, which allows for greater privacy and flexibility in treatment as many insurance companies can place limits on care.
-
A standard 53-minute individual therapy session is $175. Payment is due at the time of session for all self-pay and out-of-network services.
-
I partner with Headway to manage all of my billing, claims and insurance verification.
You are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate outlining the expected costs for your care under the No Suprises Act.
You’ll receive this information before our first session and can request an updated estimate at any time.
I also recommend that you reach out directly to your insurance provider to verify benefits as well.
Getting Started
-
That’s completely okay. Many people feel unsure about where to begin. Part of my job is helping guide the conversation in a way that feels safe and manageable.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy.
-
People come to therapy for many different reasons. Some of the common concerns I work with include:
Stress and Burnout
Anxiety and Overthinking
Life Transitions and Identify Shifts
Grief and Loss
Relationship and Family Changes
Caregiver Fatigue and Burnout
Emotional Exhaustion from high responsibility roles
Therapy can feel helpful if you simply feel stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to understand yourself more deeply.
-
FInding the right therapist often comes down to feeling comfortable, understood and supported. Research consistently shows that the relationship between therapist and client is oneof the most important parts of successful therapy.
If my approach resonates with you, the next step is simply scheduling an initial session so we can see if it feels like a good fit.
-
If you’re interested in working together, the next step is scheduling an initial appointment. Before your first session, I’ll run your insurance benefits (if you’re using them"), send intake paperwork to complete before and answer any remaining questions.
You can schedule through my therapy platform provider, Headway, by clicking the “Get Started” button here or at the top of my page.
