Fees & Insurance

Insurance Billing

In 2017, after a great deal of thought, I made the decision to resign from insurance panels.

 I decided that my time and attention belongs to the person sitting in front of me, not the companies paying the claims.  

Insurance companies often determine how long therapy should last, what diagnosis is required, and whether your struggles are considered "medically necessary." They also require access to personal information that becomes part of your permanent medical record.

As a private-pay practice, our work is guided by your goals, your values, and your pace—not by insurance rules.

Why clients appreciate fee-for-service

• Greater privacy and confidentiality

• No required mental health diagnosis for insurance reimbursement

• Treatment based on your needs—not insurance limitations

• Freedom to address relationship issues, personal growth, communication, life transitions, and other concerns that insurance may not cover

• More flexibility in the length and focus of our work together

Keeping Therapy Affordable

Although I no longer contract with insurance companies, I've intentionally kept my fee lower than many therapists.

With more than 40 years of clinical experience, my standard fee is still $125 for a 60-minute session.

I believe quality therapy should be both professional and accessible. If cost is a concern, let's have a conversation. Whenever possible, I'm happy to work with people who are committed to doing the work but need some flexibility.
