I offer a risk free, 45 minute consultation session. If after our meeting we mutually agree to begin work together, I’ll charge the consultation as the first session. However, if you decide my style and approach are not for you, there’s no charge for the consultation should you schedule no further meetings. I conduct most sessions via Zoom; I offer a very limited number of in-person sessions each week.
My standard rate for a 45 minute session is $450. Depending on my availability and the flexibility of your schedule, I can sometimes offer a sliding scale. I work out-of-network with most insurers, and I'm happy to prepare the paperwork for reimbursement filing. I accept payment via credit card.
Confirming your out-of-network benefits for mental health can usually be done in one short phone call. Call the customer service number on your insurance card, and ask the following questions:
Benefits. “Do I have mental health coverage? Do I have out-of network benefits?”
Referral. “Do I need a referral from my primary care physician to use my mental health benefits?”
Deductible. “Do I have a deductible? How much is my deductible? How much has been paid this year?”
Rate. “What is the reimbursement rate for my out-of-network mental health benefits?”
Sessions. “Do I have a maximum number of psychotherapy sessions per year?”
Reimbursement. “How do I apply for reimbursement?”
