Fees & Insurance

My fees are based on the usual and customary rate charged by clinicians with a similar level of training and experience. I offer some flexibility in fees for patients with two or more sessions per week. On occasion, I have availability to see patients at a reduced fee, depending on individual circumstances. I encourage you to discuss the fee with me if it is outside your ability to pay.

Please note: I am an out-of-network therapist for all insurance panels. If you would like to use an insurance co-pay to pay for therapy, it will not work in my practice.

Consider the following when deciding whether you would like to use insurance coverage for therapy:

• Confidentiality: All insurance companies require some information about the reason for psychological treatment in order to process your claim. Managed care plans often require detailed information regarding the problem for which you are seeking help, history, symptoms, family life, work life, your level of functioning, and more. The information is entered into increasingly large information systems; confidentiality cannot be assumed.
• Control of Treatment: Managed care companies use the information about you to decide if treatment is medically necessary, what kind of therapy is approved, and how long it should continue. The therapeutic goals used by managed care companies may be at odds with your personal therapeutic goals.
