Initial Consultation
We offer a free initial consultation to see if we’re a good fit for therapy. This is a phone call or video call that lasts 10-15 minutes. We ask you to tell us a little about what’s bringing you or your family to therapy, and then we’ll discuss what we can offer and we’ll decide whether we want to go forward.
Self-Pay Rate
The out-of-pocket costs (not using insurance) ranges between $160 to $200 for a 53 minute session with a licensed professional counselor. Sessions with a pre-licensed counselor range for $95 to $115 a session. And to see a master's level counseling intern the rate is $75 a session. *We offer a limited amount of sliding scale slots. Please inquire for eligibility/availability information.
Insurance
We are able to accept commercial insurances from Aetna, Optum(United Healthcare), EverNorth(Cigna), Humana, and Tricare health insurances as well as many EAP Insurance Carriers.
Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services.

Good Faith Estimate for Out-of-Network Care
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical 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 bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate at least 1 business day before your next psychotherapy appointment or other service. I will deliver your Good Faith Estimate electronically using my Client Portal. You can also ask me, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate or the dispute process, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 368-1019.
