Fees and Policies
Therapy is an investment, and I want to do everything I can to help you to maximize your investment. Rates for the standard 53-minute appointment are $125. The initial intake interview is $150.
If you reside in Washington and want to use your insurance, I have partnered with Mindful Therapy Group to help facilitate this for me. Below you will find the insurance I accept:
Aetna, Cigna, Cigna EAP, Kaiser Permanente, Kaiser Permanente Northwest, Premera Blue Cross, Regence,United Healthcare, and United Healthcare EAP.
I currently only take insurance for clients who reside in Washington. This is subject to change in the future, however the below information may be helpful if you live in Texas:
Contact your insurance provider. It is possible they will reimburse you for a portion of services. You may need to submit a superbill (a document that shows the list of services) to your insurance company to receive reimbursement for services and I am happy to provide that to you.
An affordable option - Reimbursify. (https://reimbursify.com) This is an online service that will do your out-of-network billing for you. They will check with your insurance on their reimbursement policy and submit claims for you. It only takes a few minutes of your time, is paper-free, and you usually get your money back in as little as two weeks. The cost to download the app is free, and each claim (one session) is $1.99. You can also purchase packages at a discount. If there is an error with the claim, they will work with you to resolve it, free of charge.
Another affordable option - CareCredit. (https://www.carecredit.com/go/756NTP/) I am a provider under this healthcare credit card that allows you to spread the cost of your mental health services over time. This can be a great option for those who need financing options to make their mental health needs more affordable. Here’s how it works:
Apply for CareCredit using the link above.
Once approved, you can use your CareCredit card to pay for your therapy treatment.
Choose a payment plan that fits your budget. CareCredit offers a variety of promotional financing options, allowing you to focus on your mental health wellness without the financial stress.
HSA
I am happy to run your sessions through your health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA), which can be used to pay for medical expenses such as therapy (both individual and couples therapy) and can often significantly decrease the cost of treatment.
Cancellation Policy
I require 48 hours notice for cancellations, to allow time to fill that space for someone else who may be waiting. If there is an unusual circumstance and you cannot provide 48 hours notice, appointments can be rescheduled if they are within a 48 hour window from the original session date. If that is not possible, please talk to me. I do my best to be flexible, but I do ask that you also be mindful of my time and others who may be waiting for services.
Payment
I do require you to keep an active card on file. I will not charge your card if you notify me that you prefer to pay with another method, and you are able to provide that method at the time of your appointment. Your card on file will be charged in full if you do not show up to your appointment or if you cancel late. If it is declined, I will hold future sessions until that payment has been made. I appreciate your help and understanding that while I want to help, I also have to uphold standard business practices. You also have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of what your services may cost.
