Investing in therapy, investing in you
Therapy Investment
Payment Options
You've already made the brave decision to start therapy. Now comes the practical part—figuring out the financial side of things. I know that can sometimes feel overwhelming, so I'm here to make it as simple and straightforward as possible, so we can focus on what really matters: helping you find relief. Payment options include:
Self pay: You pay for sessions directly through the secure payment platform. No insurance involvement at all.
Out-Of-Network: I provide a superbill that you can submit directly to your insurance and potentially get reimbursement.
Therapy offerings:
$160 for one hour of individual therapy.
$250 for 90 minute session, or a one hour therapy session and brief asynchronous support (call, text) throughout the week.
$320 for two hours of individual therapy, or a 90 minute session and brief asynchronous support (call, text) throughout the week.

Investing in your care
Choosing private pay means choosing individualized, unhurried care. Because I intentionally keep my caseload small, I can give you the attention, energy, and continuity your therapy deserves — including coordinating with other providers on your team when helpful. It also supports the work that happens behind the scenes: ongoing clinical training, research into resources specific to your needs, and thoughtful preparation for our time together.
Insurance companies often require a mental health diagnosis as early as the first session, even though healing rarely fits neatly into a timeline, and premature labeling can bring shame before we've understood the bigger picture. Insurance also limits session length and how many sessions are deemed "medically necessary," even when deeper work needs more than 50 minutes. By staying out of network, I can tailor therapy to your needs, not an insurer's requirements — sessions can extend beyond the standard hour when needed, and you can reach out for brief check-ins between appointments.
Private pay also protects your privacy: your records, diagnoses, and personal history stay between us, not filed away for insurance companies or reviewed by claims adjusters. Your story remains yours.
Using out of network benefits:
If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits (most commonly PPO plans), you may be eligible for reimbursement for a portion of my fee. I encourage you to contact your insurance company directly to ask about your specific out-of-network benefits and what percentage of the fee they reimburse.
I'm happy to provide you with a Superbill which you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
Please keep in mind that reimbursement is never guaranteed. Coverage depends on your individual insurance plan and its requirements. For example, your insurance company may require a covered mental health diagnosis, may not reimburse for out-of-network providers, or may not cover telehealth services. Because each plan is different, it's always best to confirm your benefits directly with your insurance provider before beginning therapy.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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.
