Insurance Information

I choose to be an out-of-network provider to protect your confidentiality and so you can maintain control over your treatment. Using in-network benefits means your insurance provider can dictate your treatment by limiting the amount of sessions, requiring a mental illness diagnosis, and maintaining access to your treatment.

If you need to use your insurance, you can use this calculator to check your out-of-network benefits to get reimbursed for session payments.

If you choose to use your out-of-network benefits, you have two options:

Option 1: I give you a receipt (known as a superbill) and you submit this to your provider for potential reimbursement.

Here are some helpful questions to ask your insurance provider:

  1. Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?

  2. What is my reimbursement percentage?

  3. Is there a separate deductible and has it been met?

Option 2: Use Reimbursify or Nirvana to get out-of-network reimbursement for my services:

  1. Submit my receipt to them (or I can submit for you)

  2. They deal directly with your insurance to get you reimbursed. You pay a small fee per claim only if/when you get paid

If any of this is confusing or overwhelming, I’m happy to discuss further on a free 15-minute consultation call.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I’ll get a general, big picture idea of what you’re going through to make sure I’m the best fit to work with you. It’s also a chance for you to ask me any questions and to make sure you feel comfortable talking to me. If it’s all good, we’ll schedule a time to meet.

    COVID-19 update: all sessions are being conducted online until further notice. Please visit my Telehealth page for more information.

  • The first session is a chance for you to fill me in on your lived experience, and what your hopes and goals are for therapy. I often recommend jotting down a few notes beforehand if you’re unsure of what you’d like to address.

    We’ll collaboratively decide what to work on and I’ll give you some helpful tools to practice between sessions.

  • I recommend starting with weekly appointments in order to make consistent progress towards your goals. If we go too long between appointments, you’ll constantly feel like playing catch up and there won’t always be enough time to figure everything out.

    Weekly is also recommended for EMDR Therapy because once we light up your memory networks, we don’t want to lose connections by going too long between processing sessions.

  • The amount of time in therapy really depends on what you’re going through and is different for everyone. If you’re concerned about it being an endless process, I want you to know that I don’t keep people longer than they need it.

    I’m very collaborative, so we’ll talk regularly about your progress and make mutual decisions about whether we can taper down to every other week and then to occasional check-ins.

  • Therapy is an investment and I totally understand there may be times when it doesn’t seem feasible. I hold a limited number of sliding scale spots. If you have a Health Savings Account or Flex Savings Account through your insurance, I accept that as payment. I can also provide an invoice to submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement.

  • I can provide a receipt for out-of-network reimbursement. Please see the “Insurance” information section above for more details.
