Payment Policies

Payment is due at the time of services rendered unless you and your therapist have discussed another arrangement prior to the start of your session. Payment can be made via credit/debit card, HSA/FSA card, check, or cash.

Insurance:
I do not accept insurance nor am I “in-network” with any insurance provider. If you have “out of network” benefits through your insurance provider, I am am happy to provide you with a “super bill” (aka: itemized receipt) so that you can be reimbursed by your insurance. To determine how much your insurance will reimburse for out of network services, please contact your health insurance provider directly.

Reduced Fees:
In order to increase the accessibility of mental health services, I provide a limited number of reduced fee slots determined on gross household income. Eligibility for reduced fees are reviewed on a semi-annual (6 month) basis. If this is something you are interested in, please send me an email to inquire about current availability of these limited slots on my caseload.

Mental Health Financial Assistance Program:
In addition to a limited number of reduced fee spots, I am also a participant in We Are Family’s Mental Health Assistance program, which helps pay therapy fees and copays for LGBTQ+ youth ages 24 and under who are in need of financial assistance.

Good Faith estimate

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 or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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.

Cancellation Policies

Cancellations within less than 24-hours of your scheduled appointment time are charged half (50%) of your session fee. There is no cost or fee to cancel or reschedule your appointment if you provide at least 24-hour notice. Missed appointments without any prior notification or cancellation are considered “no shows” and are charged the entirety (100%) of your session fee.

There is a 15 minute grace period for folx who may be running late to scheduled sessions. If you arrive to your appointment more than 15 minutes late without providing any communication to me, you will be marked as a no show and charged the full fee.

Covid Policies

I currently offer sessions both in-person and virtually through a HIPAA-compliant video conferencing software. I ask that if you notify me if you have been recently exposed to or have tested positive for COVID so that we can make other arrangements in advance. I am always happy to switch in-person sessions to virtual if needed.
