Frequently Asked Questions
Every client-therapist relationship is different. I believe in the power of humor and openness in my sessions. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for my clients to feel open to share as they choose. Our sessions may look different each week, as client needs differ from day to day. I meet you where you are in the moment.
The first step is reaching out when you are ready. We will begin with a free consultation. If you wish to continue, I begin by getting to know you and your needs. When you are ready to take this step, I am here for you.
Of course! Mental health therapy can be beneficial to all, even when feeling well. Exploring past experiences can open up thoughts and emotions that may be impacting relationships with others and ourselves. Reflecting on these experiences can build long lasting resources, skills, and strengths to improve our overall well-being for a more meaningful life.
The insurance companies that I accept are: Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, CareFirst, Cigna, and United Healthcare/Optum.
Although I am in-network with a variety of insurance companies, I am happy to provide a superbill for clients out-of-network and help with reimbursement. I have limited spots for clients who are financially eligible for a reduced rate. The typical rate is $140 per session.
Good Faith Estimate
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
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 healthcare 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.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit http://www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
