Fees/Investment

My session fee is $200 per 50-minute appointment. I also offer a superbill to clients if they would like to use their out-of-network insurance benefits to get reimbursed for our sessions. Please reach out and I can help you determine what the out-of-network reimbursement may be for you.

As a private-pay clinical psychologist, I am able to offer personalized, evidence-based care without the restrictions often required by insurance companies.

Fees:

  • 55-minute Initial Intake : $200
  • 55-minute session: $200

Methods of Payment:

  • Cash
  • Check
  • All major credit/debit cards
  • HSA/FSA welcome

 

Out-of-Network Reimbursement

I am able to provide you with a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company to receive reimbursement for my services as an out-of-network provider. Some questions to ask your insurance company to better understand your out-of-network benefits:

  • Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
  • What is my deductible?
  • What percentage of sessions is reimbursed?
  • Is there a limit on number of sessions?

Why Private-Pay Therapy?

Choosing private-pay therapy allows for a more personalized, flexible, and confidential treatment experience. While I am not in-network with insurance companies, many clients find that the benefits of private-pay care align closely with their values and goals.

Greater Privacy & Confidentiality

Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis and access to portions of your clinical record in order to authorize treatment. With private-pay therapy, your care remains between you and your psychologist, without third-party involvement.

Individualized, Not Insurance-Driven Treatment

Insurance often dictates:

  • Session frequency
  • Treatment length
  • Required diagnoses
  • Documentation standards

Private-pay therapy allows us to determine the pace, structure, and focus of treatment based solely on your clinical needs — not insurance limitations.

No Mandatory Diagnosis

Insurance reimbursement requires a mental health diagnosis, even when someone may be seeking support for stress, life transitions, burnout, or personal growth. Private-pay therapy allows you to seek care without needing a formal diagnosis in your medical record unless clinically appropriate.

Flexible Treatment Planning

We can:

  • Meet as frequently or infrequently as clinically indicated
  • Adjust session focus as your needs evolve
  • Work at a depth and pace that supports meaningful change

Specialized, Evidence-Based Care

Private-pay practices often allow clinicians to pursue advanced training and maintain smaller caseloads. This supports thoughtful, high-quality, and evidence-based therapy tailored to your needs.

Investment in Long-Term Wellness

Therapy is an investment in your mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. Many clients view private-pay therapy as proactive, preventative care — not just symptom management.

Good Faith Estimate

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.

If you do not have insurance or are not using insurance benefits, you are entitled to receive a written estimate of the expected cost of services before your appointment. This estimate will include the total expected cost of any non-emergency services, including psychotherapy sessions, assessments, or other services we provide.

Providing a Good Faith Estimate for therapy services can be challenging due to a variety of unique factors including diagnosis, treatment plan, and therapeutic goals. I will do my best to provide as accurate of an estimate as possible; however, the estimate will not include unforeseen charges such as crisis sessions, cancelations, and/or no-show/missed session fees.

Prior to your first appointment, I will provide you with a written Good Faith Estimate. If you’re a current client, you will receive a Good Faith Estimate as well. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit: www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
