Frequently Asked Questions

I do not accept insurance as I am an out-of-network provider. I do provide superbills which you can submit for reimbursement to your insurance. Please verify your out-of-network benefits with your insurance provider. If you have any questions or would like to explore options, I would be happy to discuss.

While I am not directly in network with insurance companies, I am happy to provide clients with a superbill, which is a detailed receipt that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. If you have questions about how superbills work or what the reimbursement process might look like, I’m happy to discuss this during our consultation. A large majority of clients who submit superbills are reimbursed for a significant portion of their out-of-pocket therapy costs. Some clients report paying less out of pocket than their co-pay for in-network therapists. I will be happy to provide you the questions and relevant codes to check your out-of-network reimbursement rates with your insurance provider.

My rate is $180 per session for individual therapy and $275 per session for couples or family therapy.

I provide all the necessary paperwork for my clients to be reimbursed by their insurance provider directly (Superbill). The amount of the reimbursement will depend on the details of your policy. Please check your out-of network benefits with your insurance provider.

Both individual and couples or family therapy sessions are 50 minutes in length.

Yes, I do offer free 20 minute consultations. Please note, however, that this is only a brief informational meeting to give us the opportunity to meet each other and for you to seek clarification on any points not sufficiently explained on my website. It is not a miniature therapy session and is not representative of how actual sessions are conducted.

If you must cancel, please do so at least 24 hours in advance. Missed sessions and cancellations with less than 24h notice will be charged $150. As a courtesy to other clients waiting for an opening, the sooner you can let me know about your scheduling conflict, the better I can serve all the clients in my care.

I encourage clients to commit to a minimum of 12 sessions from the start. The process to achieve meaningful change in a relationship takes time. I have found that 12 sessions is typically sufficient for the partners to get a realistic sense of what is possible and make a determination about continued treatment from there. For some, such as premarital couples, this period may be enough to accept each other and learn the required communication skills to build a solid life together. For others, with years of hurt feelings and resentment, the process may be much longer.

For couples struggling with the decision whether or not to stay together, I offer short-term Discernment Counseling, lasting anywhere from one to five sessions (see Discernment Counseling tab under Services for details). Based on the outcome, either Closure Therapy or Couples Therapy may follow.

I protect the confidentiality of our encounters and will not disclose any privileged information without your written permission, other than in exceptional circumstances involving self-harm or risk of injury to others.
