Frequently Asked Questions

  • At this time I currently am only accepting new clients with Aetna & United Healthcare Insurances. However, I also accept Out of Network (OON) benefits and we can discuss what this means for you.

  • Out of Network benefits are provided by most major insurances and are a way for you to still use your benefits while working with specialized providers who do not actively take your insurance.

    If you are curious to learn more about your specific OON benefits, here is what I recommend asking your insurance:

    • Do I have Out of Network benefits?

    • What will my copay be for Out of Network benefits?

    • How do I submit my claims to use my Out of Network benefits?

  • The short answer to this is: it depends!

    Many people benefit from long-term therapy, however my goal is to get you to a point where you feel like you don’t need me anymore.

    During our first session, we will identify your goals for treatment and establish a cadence that works best for you and check-in on a monthly basis of where you’re at to ensure we’re making progress towards your goals.

  • A new consumer protection law called "The No Surprises Act" went into effect on January 1, 2022. Here's the notice I have to give you about the law:

    You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.

    If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit cms.gov/nosurprises.
