Common Questions and Helpful Details

I am currently only contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS). If you are planning to use insurance, I encourage you to call BCBS to understand any fees that you may be responsible for, like co-pays and/or your deductible amount. I encourage you to ask BCBS regarding their coverage for you for working with me specifically, you may provide my NPI number (1134784036) to help prevent miscommunication. 

For all other insurance companies, I am happy to provide you a superbill, an itemized bill detailing services provided that meets standards for a healthcare reimbursement claim. 

For private/self pay clients, each session is $125. I accept all major credit, debit, FSA, and HSA cards. I do not offer up front purchasing of multiple sessions, however if you feel that this payment option and method of scheduling will be more beneficial for you, please let me know and we can discuss this further. 

If you request any letters, forms, or any other paperwork to be completed, such as FMLA or disability forms, please be advised that there is a fee for paperwork. My fee for paperwork is $100/hour, divided into 15 minutes, rounded up, with a minimum fee of $50. I will not complete any paperwork or letters of support unless I have met with you for at least 4-6 sessions. I will also not complete any paperwork if I believe I cannot support it based on what you have presented during our sessions.

Sessions are conducted via telehealth only. Most commonly, this is via video call using a computer or smartphone with a camera. A reliable Internet connection, email address, and a private space for you to engage, are needed. My intake and document sharing process is all digital, so there's no physical paperwork involved. Everything is done via email. Sessions are 55 minutes unless otherwise specified or arranged. 

I offer a free 30 minute video consultation so that we can spend a little time to get to know each other. During this consultation, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and what you are hoping to work on. I think of it similar to a job interview, where we will both have opportunities to ask questions and get to know each other a little better. That way, we can both agree if we are a good fit for each other and can work productively together. If you would like to move forward with working with me after this initial consult, I'll send over some additional intake docs that cover things like cancellation policy, usage of telehealth, how payment is handled, etc., plus we'll get your first appointment scheduled.
