For therapy and diagnostic evaluations, my standard rates are:

• Initial Consultation (15 minutes): Free

• Individual Follow-up Session (50 minutes): $200

• Initial Intake/Diagnostic Evaluation Session (80 minutes): $300

Please note that treatment services always begin with an initial comprehensive evaluation. Following the initial evaluation, individual therapy sessions typically occur on a weekly basis. I am also easily accessible between sessions by email and phone and encourage my patients to reach out to me between sessions.

For professional supervision and consultation services, my standard rates are:

• Individual supervision or consultation, licensed practicing professional (1 hour): $200

• Individual supervision, license-seeking professional (1 hour): $150

• Individual consultation, licensed practicing professional (30 minutes): $100

Like many other specialized providers, I don’t participate directly with any managed care plans. This means I am an out-of-network provider. But, many insurance companies provide reimbursement for out-of-network mental health services for their members. So, a lot of my patients do get reimbursed for my services through their insurance.

To make that process a bit easier for you, I automatically provide all patients with the required documentation to submit directly to their insurance companies for direct reimbursement. You may also want to look into Reimbursify, which is an app designed to simplify the submission of out of network insurance claims.

Yes! Many insurance plans include “out of network mental health benefits.” This means that even if you see a therapist who is not in your insurance’s network (i.e., not an “in-network provider”) you may still be eligible for reimbursement of your session fees.

Check with your insurance provider before your initial session if you’re unsure about what is covered. Usually, there’s a phone number on the back of your insurance card that connects you directly with a representative from your insurance. This information is also sometimes on their website.

Here are some questions you may want to ask your insurance provider before we meet:

• How much does my plan cover for out-of-network mental health services?

• Do I need a referral from my primary care physician before receiving mental health services?

• Is there a limit to the number of therapy sessions I can have each year?

• What is the “allowed amount” for outpatient mental health therapy services, and what percentage of that amount does my plan cover?

• Is there a preferred modifier for sessions conducted via telehealth?

• How do I request reimbursement for an out-of-network provider?

If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, let me know as soon as possible. As in most practices, I have a 24-hour advance notice cancellation policy. If you don’t notify me about needing to cancel your session at least 24 hours before your scheduled session, you will be charged your session fee. This is also the case if you do not show up to a scheduled appointment.

Yes, in addition to weekday appointments, I also occasionally have Saturday appointments available.
