Fees & Insurance

Fees

Counseling sessions, which usually are between 45 and 55 minutes long, are $150 per counseling session. If you have out-of-network insurance benefits, I can provide you with a counseling service receipt, which is called a superbill, which you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. 

Insurance

I am in-network with the insurances listed below. Your insurance plan, policy, and mental health benefits will be verified (checked) before your first counseling session, in order to assess whether I am in-network with your specific insurance plan and policy. I can also provide you with a counseling service receipt, which is called a superbill, which you can submit to your insurance, if you have out-of-network insurance benefits.
