Services and FAQ: FAQ

Do you accept insurance?

With regard to insurance, I don’t do any insurance billing myself anymore. Insurance companies often demand sensitive confidential information, treatment plans, and a diagnosis that could be a barrier to receiving health insurance in the future. They also often have a limit to how many sessions they provide. As I aim to spend my time and effort helping my clients and not dealing with insurance companies, as well as to protect the privacy of my clients, I have found it beneficial to stop working with insurance companies and try to make therapy affordable to my clients in other ways. If you would like to utilize your insurance plan, I am happy to provide you with documentation for your insurance company if they offer reimbursement for counseling sessions. Many of my clients have received full or partial reimbursement for therapy services depending on the particular insurance carrier and plan.

What is your rate for a therapy session?

My regular fee for a one hour therapy session (50 minutes) is $150 due at the time of our session. I accept cash, check, Venmo, and all major credit cards. If you have an HSA, I can also accept this form of payment. I also offer sliding scale for those who cannot afford my normal rate.

Do you offer sliding scale rates?

Yes! If you are a full time student and/or have financial barrier to affording therapy, I do offer sliding scale rate on a limited basis. If the sliding scale spots are full, I am happy to put you on the waiting list and notify you when one becomes available. Please don’t hesitate to ask as I aim to help all those who are brave enough to seek help.

Do you provide clinical supervision for students?

Yes! I'm happy to discuss providing supervision for graduate and post graduate students working to accrue hours for their LPC! Please contact me if this is something you would be interested in!
