Investing in your wellness
Starting psychotherapy is an investment in yourself and your well-being. Especially if you’re on the reproductive journey, pregnant, postpartum, or experienced a pregnancy loss, your wellness and mental health are incredibly important for you and your growing family. My initial process is to understand you, your struggles, your needs and help you start the healing process. Together, we figure out what your goals are, and create a path for you to get back to the life you want. Psychotherapy isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it. You shouldn’t have to suffer, in silence or alone. I know you can feel better because I’ve seen thousands of moms get better with the right help.
Private Pay
If you are choosing to not use insurance for mental health services, you can pay out of pocket and not deal with the hassles of insurance. The standard rate for each psychotherapy session is $225. Superbills are available for insurance reimbursement if you are using a PPO, see below.
I reserve a few spaces in my private practice for lower fee sliding scale therapy sessions for those who are paying out of pocket. Please contact me to discuss the availability of sliding-scale payment options.
As required by the law starting in 2022, the No Surprises Act, a Good Faith Estimate is required for people who are paying privately and not using any insurance. *Please see below for information.
Insurance
I do not take insurance directly. If you have a PPO, your plan may cover a percentage of out-of-network services. Contact your insurance to ask about your out of network coverage. Payment is due at the time of service, then I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for reimbursement directly to you.
Session Payment
Payments for psychotherapy sessions, whether using superbills or private pay, are due at the time of the appointment. I have a HIPPA-compliant secure online platform that will save a credit or debit card that will be saved on file. Cards are charged after each session.
*Good Faith Estimate Notice
(for people NOT using insurance for services)
- You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical 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 bill for medical items and services. - You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item.
You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or
service. - If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
