How do we get started?
The first step is an initial phone call to hear briefly about what you are looking for and help set up an in-person consultation. This consultation can last for 1-3 sessions during which we will discuss your treatment needs and determine how best to address them.
How long is the typical session?
45 minutes
Do you take insurance?
I am not in-network with any insurance plans. I am considered an "out-of-network" provider.
If you utilize your out-of-network benefits, I will provide you with a monthly receipt for you to submit to your insurance plan for partial reimbursement. After payment of a deductible, out-of-network benefits typically cover up to 60-80% of my fee and you may use pre-tax dollars through a flexible medical spending account to cover out-of-pocket psychotherapy expenses.
How do I know if I have "out-of-network" benefits?
Call your insurance company and ask about your mental/behavioral health coverage. Here are some specific questions that you might want to ask:
Do I have coverage for mental/behavioral health services?
What is my deductible and has it been met?
How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?
How much do you cover for an out-of-network psychologist?
What is the coverage amount per session?
Is a primary care physician approval required?
