Straightforward Pricing. No Tiers. No Surprises.
One fee. All specialties. Private pay only.
$200 per session
All specialties. All appointment types. One number to remember.
Sessions are 50–53 minutes. Payment is collected at the time of session by credit, debit, or HSA/FSA card. A monthly superbill is provided for clients who want to seek out-of-network reimbursement through a PPO plan.
No Insurance. No Divided Attention.
This is a private pay practice. I do not bill insurance — not as an afterthought, but as a structural decision. Insurance-driven clinical models create constraints that are incompatible with the kind of careful, specialist work I offer: session frequency is limited by what plans approve, documentation requirements shift clinical focus, and caseload size is driven by billing volume rather than clinical capacity.
Private pay means my clinical decisions are yours and mine — not a utilization reviewer’s. It also means the relationship is direct and transparent: you know exactly what you are paying and what you are getting.
A Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of services is available upon request, as required by the No Surprises Act (45 CFR 149.610). You have the right to receive this estimate before services begin.
Common Questions
Do you take insurance?
No. This is a private pay practice. I provide monthly superbills for clients who want to submit for out-of-network reimbursement through a PPO plan. Whether your plan reimburses, and how much, depends on your specific benefits — I recommend calling your insurer to ask about out-of-network mental health coverage before starting.
Can I use an HSA or FSA card?
Yes. HSA and FSA cards are accepted. Mental health services typically qualify as eligible expenses — confirm with your plan administrator if you are unsure.
What is a superbill?
A superbill is an itemized receipt with the diagnostic and procedure codes your insurance company needs to process a reimbursement claim. I provide one monthly. You submit it to your insurer directly; they reimburse you based on your out-of-network benefits.
What is a Good Faith Estimate?
Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to a written Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of services before treatment begins. You can request one at any time. If your final bill exceeds the estimate by more than $400, you may be able to dispute the charge. More information is available at CMS.gov.
