Do you offer sliding scale/reduced fee services?
I offer sliding scale services on a limited basis.
Do you accept insurance?
I am considered an out-of-network provider, which means that you can be reimbursed for a portion of our session if you have out-of-network benefits. You will want to contact your insurance company to ask questions about your out-of-network coverage, as every insurance plan is unique.
You will want to ask them the following questions:
Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
What is my yearly deductible, and has it been met?
Once my deductible has been met, how much (what percentage) does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?
How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?
Is authorization required?
How can I pay for my session?
I accept cash, check, credit cards, or Venmo. Payment is expected at the time of service. You will also receive a monthly invoice so that you may submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
You mentioned that therapy sessions are discrete / confidential.
How does that work?
The building blocks of therapy include honest and open communication and confidentiality. Most people choose to come to therapy to have a safe place to talk about their feelings and issues, which we take very seriously.
By law, there are a few exceptions to confidentiality between a client and therapist:
Suspected child, dependent adult, or elder abuse
If a client is seriously threatening to hurt themselves/others
There may also be occasions when you might want to have another person or professional involved in your care, in which case, a signed release will be completed.
