What is your typical process for working with clients?
For first appointments, I will take time for introductions and explain the process. I will typically speak with everyone together so I can hear what brought everyone to the appointment in your own words. I will then transition into basic background information gathering. We will conclude with a discussion of recommendations and work together to develop a mutually acceptable treatment plan.
Follow ups tend to be shorter than the first appointment because the full history will not need to be reviewed. We can focus on current struggles and improvements but still allow for ample time to discuss treatment and progress.

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: $300 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $180 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
More information on payments and coverage
We do accept most insurances, however, we encourage you to contact your insurance carrier to verify your mental health benefits. We do not accept any State Insurance (Anthem HIP, HHW, Ambetter, Caresource), no HMO plans.. If you have one of these carriers, we can offer you a self pay rate.
