Fees:

As much as possible, I try to adjust my fees to clients' budgets and affordability, and their needs and goals for therapy.

 

Therefore, setting fees would be a collaborative discussion that takes these factors into mind.

 

My standard fees are: $250 per session for individual psychotherapy and $275 for couples. Again, if these fees do not match with your current budget for therapy, please let me know and we can explore the possibly of adjusting these for your needs.

Insurance reimbursments:

I do not accept insurance directly. Payment for psychotherapy services is made directly by clients to my private practice.

 

Some insurance plans offer partial reimbursement for out-of-network services. If applicable, I can provide a Superbill for you to submit to your insurance company.

 

A Superbill includes limited information such as client and therapist contact details, diagnosis, session type and duration, and fees paid. Your insurance provider will use this document to determine any eligible reimbursement.

 

To check if your insurance plan offers this coverage, you can contact your insurance company and ask whether they reimburse for out-of-network psychotherapy using a Superbill, the applicable deductible, and the reimbursement rate.

No Surprises Act & Good Faith Estimates:

Notice of Your Rights Under the No Surprises Act & Good Faith Estimates


No Surprises Act (2022) – Your Protection Against Unexpected Medical Bills

​

You have the right to receive clear, predictable information about the cost of your mental‑health services. The No Surprises Act protects clients from unexpected medical bills when receiving care from out‑of‑network providers in certain settings. While psychotherapy is typically self‑pay or out‑of‑network, this law also ensures transparency in pricing for all clients.

​

Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate:
Under federal law, you are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) of the expected cost of services if you are uninsured or not using insurance for your care.

 

A Good Faith Estimate will include:

  • The expected cost of therapy sessions

  • Any recurring or anticipated services

  • The frequency and duration of treatment as discussed with your therapist

  • Any additional fees you may reasonably expect

  • ​

You can request a Good Faith Estimate at any time, even before scheduling your first appointment.

 

What a Good Faith Estimate Is Not:

  • A Good Faith Estimate is not a contract.

  • It does not obligate you to receive services.

  • It does not predict your clinical needs or guarantee the total number of sessions you may choose to attend.

  • If You Receive a Bill That Is Higher Than Expected

  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the charge.

​​

You may contact:

  • Your provider, to review or correct the bill

  • The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, which oversees the dispute process
