Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a session with you?

My fees range from $135-$175 for 50 minutes, based on need. Please ask me about my rates, I'm happy to try and meet you where you're at!

Do you take insurance?

I do! I'm currently contracted with AETNA & OPTUM. Please Click Here to see if your insurance is listed for these providers. 

For those who wish to utilize my cash pay option (non-insurance), I require payment up front via a secure app (IvyPay). For each session conducted, I can provide you with a clinical receipt for you to personally submit to your insurance for retroactive reimbursement. To confirm you qualify for reimbursement for out-of-network services, please call your insurance provider and ask the following questions:

-Does my insurance plan reimburse for out-of-network, outpatient mental health services? If so, how much/what percentage does my plan reimburse for? 

-Is a diagnostic code (diagnosis) required for reimbursement? 

-Does it cover telehealth sessions? 

-How do I submit claim forms “superbills” for reimbursement?
