Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $350 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $175 for 30 minutes
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

Poor client care. I rearranged my schedule a great deal in order to make this appointment, and then I never receive instructions for how to join. I called the office as a result and they admitted to never sending instructions, and as a result my appointment was "never even booked in the system." That's pretty disappointing, and lazy if you ask me.
