Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you accept insurance insurance or out-of-network benefits?
I am an out-of-network provider and I do not bill insurance directly. However, many clients are able to receive reimbursement from their insurance company for out-of-network mental health services. If you’d like to check your benefits, you can call the phone number on the back of your insurance card and ask the following questions:
Do I have out-of-network mental health coverage?
What percentage of the session fee is reimbursed for an out-of-network provider?
Do I need to meet a deductible first?
How do I submit a claim for reimbursement?
For clients with out-of-network benefits, I am happy to provide a superbill (a detailed receipt) to submit to your insurance company so that you can receive reimbursement for the cost of therapy services.
Q: Do you offer a sliding scale?
Yes! I offer a number of sliding scale slots to increase access to care for those who may not be able to pay the full fee. Sliding scale availability is based on financial need and current openings, and we can discuss this option during your consultation if it would be helpful.
Q: How will I know if we are a good fit?
I offer a free 15-minute consultation—sometimes I call it a “vibe check.” This gives us a chance to meet, talk about what you’re looking for, and see how it feels to work together.
The therapeutic relationship works best when you feel comfortable, understood, and supported. If for any reason it doesn’t feel like the right fit, I’m more than happy to provide referrals to other providers who may be a better match for your needs.
Q: Do you work in-person?
Most of my sessions are offered virtually (either via Zoom or phone call), which allows for flexibility and accessibility. However, in some cases, I may recommend home-based therapy if it is clinically necessary and we are geographically able to do so.
Home visits can be particularly helpful when working on real-life goals in a natural environment, or when leaving home feels overwhelming due to anxiety, OCD, or other challenges. We’ll discuss together whether this is the right option for you or your child’s needs.
*Home-based therapy session costs will be discussed prior to moving forward with this option.
