FAQs
Are virtual and/or in-person sessions available?
I offer in-person, virtual, and hybrid sessions. To maintain clinical consistency, we will typically establish one of these as our primary modality.
What is the frequency and duration of sessions?
Meaningful change requires consistency. I typically see clients weekly for 45-minute sessions. This structure provides the stability needed to do deep work and allows us to treat this time as a protected space for your internal development.
Do you accept insurance?
I don’t accept insurance as I’m an "out-of-network" provider. However, while I do not bill insurance companies directly, many of my clients receive significant reimbursement (typically 60–80%) through their PPO or POS plans once their deductible is met.
Why out-of-network?
For many, the benefits of working outside the insurance system provide an essential layer of safety and specialization:
Total Privacy: No diagnosis or clinical notes are shared with insurance databases.
Clinical Autonomy: Your care is never interrupted by insurance "reviews" or arbitrary session limits.
How does it work with reimbursement?
Payment: You pay your bill at the end of each month.
Superbill: At the end of each month, I provide you with a detailed "superbill" (an itemized receipt for medical services).
Submission: You submit this superbill to your insurance company via their online portal or app.
Reimbursement: Your insurance provider mails you a check or issues a direct deposit for your covered amount.
What should I ask my insurance provider?
To find out exactly what your plan covers, I recommend calling the "Member Services" number on the back of your insurance card and asking:
"Does my plan include out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health?"
"What is my annual out-of-network deductible, and has it been met?"
"What is the ‘allowable amount’ for CPT code 90834 (individual) or 90847 (couples)?"
Note: “allowable amount” is the maximum rate your insurance will pay for a session, regardless of my actual fee."
"What percentage of that allowable amount will be reimbursed to me?"
