Insurance
Many clients have health insurance, which covers the cost of mental health services. However, many insurances require that you pay a deductible before the insurance approves to cover such service cost. It is strongly advised that you contact your insurance to determine how much is your deductible as this will help you determine if you need to pay any upfront cost before insurance is able to pay.
If you have a HMO plan, please consider even if you preferred to meet with a provider who takes insurance, you may be responsible of paying a deduticle out-of-pocket. If this is your case, please feel free to review my service fees to determine if this fee rate fits within your financial budget.
Those who have PPO/POS insurance plans are strongly encouraged to take advantage of their out-of-network benefits. These benefits include being eligible to work with a counselor, not in-network (meaning not enrolled as a provider within the insurance) & receive partial/full service payment reimbursement when working with an out-of-network provider.
With this said, at this time, all sessions with me are private pay only.
Accepted Payments & Cost
I accept all major Credit/Debit/Healthcare-Flexible Spending Account (HSA/FSA) cards. Online or in-person session fee rates are $175/per 45-minute session.
