I accept both insurance and private pay options. Here are some important things to consider when deciding whether or not to use your insurance provider for our therapy sessions:

  • It is important to keep in mind that insurance companies require information regarding your diagnosis and treatment planning, which means that your information may not be completely confidential. 

  • Not all clients who seek or desire therapy will have a diagnosable mental health condition, and I do not believe this should impact access to care for those who desire maintenance of their mental health, stress management, or to improve their sex lives and relationships. 

  • As a mental health care provider, I am required to provide a diagnosis in order to bill insurance for services, which may limit the work we are able to do together and potentially impact future insurance coverage. 

  • If your privacy and freedom to engage in therapy that is individualized is important, you may choose to pay privately for therapy. 

  • I do have a limited number of reduced fee appointments available if cost is a barrier for you. Please reach out if you have any questions!

If you would like to use your insurance provider, I currently accept Blue Shield PPO, Blue Cross Medicare Advantage (PPO), United Healthcare, and Aetna for payment of individual therapy services*

If you are not a member under any of these plans but are covered under another carrier, a superbill may be provided upon request so that you may file for out-of-network benefits with your insurance carrier. 

Many insurance companies may provide out-of-network reimbursement for therapy services, but it is best for you to contact your carrier to ask:

  1. Do I have coverage for out-of-network mental health outpatient visits?  

  2. Do I need to meet a deductible for out-of-network benefits?  

  3. What percentage of these visits would be covered with my out-of-network benefits?  (Specifically, it is important to ask if your insurance provider offers coverage of CPT codes 90791, 90837, 90832, and 90834).

*Please note that I am no longer accepting insurance for payment of couples therapy services, but I am happy to discuss options, so please contact me for more information.
