Payment Options
What about my insurance?
Insurance is stressful and often feels like a necessary evil. I know most of us prefer to use it for therapy. I am happy to make referrals to great therapists who accept your insurance if this is really important to you. If you decide to see me for individual therapy, I can provide you a Superbill to submit your insurance for reimbursement. Not all insurances reimburse for out-of-network providers and some have separate deductibles for out-of-network coverage. This information can be found from your insurance provider (usually calling the number on the back of your card).
Sliding Scale
I run a cash-only private practice. I offer sliding scale fees for individual therapy in three brackets (low-, mid- and full-fee). Sliding scale is not available for groups or courses. You can read more on the document below about how these fee brackets are distinguished from each other.
Full-Fee
Individual 45-minute session:
$180 (Intake and Following Sessions)
Mid-Fee
Individual 45-minute session:
$150 (Intake and Following Sessions)
Low-Fee
Individual 45-minute session:
$125 (Intake and Following Sessions)
Sliding scale slots are meant to fit your situation and may change as your situation changes. I will review this with you periodically as indicated over the course of treatment. If you would like to pursue sliding scale with me, you would inform the receptionist of this when you are scheduling an appointment.
Check-In
(Stop holding your breath, unclench your jaw, let your shoulders drop, relax your face, take a big belly breath.)
I know talking about money can be triggering. Here's a little visual break and reward for looking at it anyway - this is my super-gentle mixed breed dog, Maddy.
We got her from our local shelter and she is honestly the perfect dog. I know a lot of owners probably say that, but she is really the perfect fit for our family. I have only heard her bark once (at someone dressed up as a blow-up balloon animal at Halloween) and she loves to herd my kids when we go on walks.
She is still pretty afraid of the water and gets very stressed when we go swimming or kayaking. She used to be terrified of coming in the house, of people, and of other dogs, and now she is super friendly. She *loves* the snow.
If you need an Emotional Support Animal letter, I do write these, but only for existing clients (established a therapeutic relationship for at least 3 months). To read more about ESAs, click here.
