What are your fees? My fee is $250 for the initial intake evaluation, and $195 per 55 minute individual session thereafter. Fees are usually collected in full at each session.
Do you accept my health insurance? I am a preferred provider with the insurance companies listed on this page. If you have other health insurance coverage, it may be worthwhile to explore whether your plan covers out-of-network providers. To find out whether your insurance company would reimburse you for our sessions, you can contact your company and ask these questions:

If, without advance notice, you do not show for an appointment, you will be charged a “No Show Fee” at the full session rate.

Good Faith Estimates
Starting 2022, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
