Emerge From Your
Cocoon
 and Fly

Unleash Your Potential

Ready to take flight and soar to new heights? Investing in your mental well-being is one of the most important decisions you can make. Just as a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, therapy can help you shed your past struggles and emerge stronger, more resilient, and ready to embrace life's challenges. Let's explore the steps to invest in yourself and embark on a journey of personal growth.

 

Your journey starts with a free 15-minute phone consultation. This allows us to discuss your needs and determine if our approach is a good fit. Individual therapy sessions are $250 for 50 minutes and are typically scheduled weekly. However, we understand that everyone's circumstances are unique. If you need more frequent support, we can arrange multiple sessions per week. For those seeking a less intensive approach, meeting every two weeks or monthly might be more appropriate. Let's work together to create a schedule that best suits your goals.

Accepted Payment Methods:

  • Visa, MasterCard, American Express, JCB, Discover, and Diners Club as well as Debit cards.

​​

  • Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) cards, and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) cards.

 

Payment is processed after the completion of each appointment or other professional contact.

 

Cancelation policy: I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your session, otherwise my full fee will apply, The reason for this is I reserve this session time specifically for you and do not offer it to other clients. Without more than 24 hours’ notice, I am typically unable to fill this spot.

Insurance

Although I am on the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Lyra Health panel, like many specialty providers, I do not participate in any other insurance provider panels.
 
Some insurance companies will reimburse a portion of the fee paid to out-of-network psychologists. I am happy to provide you with a receipt that will contain the information typically needed for reimbursement.
 
Please be aware that insurance companies will only reimburse for "medical necessity." Therefore, to qualify for reimbursement, you will need to meet the criteria for a psychiatric illness diagnosis, and not all diagnoses are covered by insurance.
 
Also, despite being an out-of-network psychologist, the insurance company may request access to your progress notes/records to be reviewed by their employees (clinical and/or non-clinical) to reimburse you. Each insurance company has its own criteria for acceptable documentation, so if you were to sign a release of information to provide your notes to the insurance company, I can not guarantee that they will be acceptable and that the insurance company will reimburse you for your out-of-network benefits.

***If you do choose to use your out-of-network benefits but don't want the hassle of submitting the paperwork to your insurance company, Mentaya, Reimbursify, and Thrizer, are mobile medical insurance claim submission services that state that they provide out-of-network filings with real-time updates for patients for a small fee. I have no affiliation with any of these companies in any way and cannot vouch for their work***

If you have any questions, we can discuss them in your free phone consultation.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.  Under the law, healthcare 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 healthcare 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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 877-696-6775.
