We do not accept insurance. However, we are able to provide superbills which can be submitted to your insurance carrier for reimbursement. Reimbursement rates vary depending on your deductible and insurance policy.
To verify benefits with your insurance, we recommend calling your carrier directly and using the following script to gather information about your reimbursement rate:
“Hi, I’m interested in beginning psychotherapy with an out-of-network provider. What’s the reimbursement rate on my policy for out of network mental health providers? And what is the deductible I need to meet prior to reimbursement beginning on my policy?”

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of what the charges could be for psychotherapy services provided to you. While it is not possible for a psychotherapist to know, in advance, how many psychotherapy sessions may be necessary or appropriate for a given person, you may request an estimate of the cost of services provided. Your total cost of services will depend upon the number of psychotherapy sessions you attend, your individual circumstances, and the type and amount of services that are provided to you.
You can ask your psychotherapist, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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

Compliance with the Standard of Care means that therapists have have followed community and professional standards as have other practitioners of the same profession or discipline with comparable qualification in similar localities.
For example, if a therapist feels a client could benefit by having care from a psychiatrist or other doctor they may provide referrals. A therapist may also determine that a client needs a higher level of care may refer them to a treatment center, clinic, or hospital. -
