My Payment Philosophy:

I am a collaborative therapist in many ways. One of these is my unique financial
approach. By not directly billing insurance, I am able to use therapist discretion when
diagnosing clients, and focus on relational and systemic problems as needed. Many insurance companies do not cover relational/family/marital work, only what they determine are medically necessary diagnosable mental disorders. We decide what to focus on in therapy and how often to attend, not the insurance company. Being a fee-for-service practice also frees me from hours of paper and telephone work to try to obtain, maintain and trouble-shoot benefit claims. Our work will not require a third-party authorization. I believe that this method makes for more confidential therapy services, a simpler financial process, and more focused therapy.
 

Current Fees:

$100 per hour of service.
 

Method of Payment:

I accept cash and check. When needed, services may be provided on a sliding fee scale according to a payment plan. I do not currently bill insurance, however, I can offer you a "superbill" if you wish to self-submit. I will provide receipts if you would like to use them for a Health Savings Account or tax purposes. Running a fee for service private practice allows me to focus on quality, confidentiality, and more personal affordable care.
