Fees

Individual therapy is $300 per fifty-minute session. 

I don't participate in insurance networks. That is a deliberate choice, and it is worth explaining rather than leaving you to guess at it. 

OUT-OF-NETWORK BENEFITS

Most plans include out-of-network mental health coverage, and many reimburse a substantial share of a session once your deductible is met. I provide a monthly superbill — an itemised statement with everything your insurer needs — which you submit directly for reimbursement. 

It is worth a five-minute call to your insurer before we start. Ask them: what is my out-of-network outpatient mental health benefit, what is my deductible, and what percentage of the allowed amount do you reimburse? The answer is often better than people expect. 

WHY I WORK THIS WAY

Insurance participation requires a diagnosis, and it gives the insurer a say in how long treatment lasts and what counts as enough. Working privately means those decisions stay between us, and your clinical record stays here rather than passing through a payer's review process. For people whose professions involve scrutiny, that is frequently the deciding factor. 

PRACTICAL

I accept credit card, HSA and FSA cards, cheque and cash. Payment is due at the session. 

You will receive a Good Faith Estimate before we begin, as required under the No Surprises Act. 

If the fee is the obstacle, say so when you write. I cannot always help, but I would rather know than have you not ask.
