• Initial Intake Assessment (50–55 minutes): $175

• Individual Therapy Session (50–55 minutes): $150

We recognize that investing in your mental health is a meaningful commitment. If you’re paying privately, these are our standard session fees.

Our goal is to make care as accessible as possible. That’s why we’re in-network with many major insurance plans. See below for details on how to access care through your benefits.

IN-NETWORK INSURANCE PLANS: 

We’re in-network with most PPO, POS and Choice plans from the following carriers:

• Blue Cross Blue Shield (including Anthem)
• Aetna
• UnitedHealthcare (including Optum) — *only select providers at our practice participate with UHC

In network and curious what this means for you? See “Understanding In-Network Billing” for more details.

We aim to make billing hassle-free, so you can focus on growth and healing.

When a provider is in-network with your insurance plan, it means they have a contract with your insurance company to provide services at a set rate. You’ll typically pay less out-of-pocket — often a copay or coinsurance — and the provider handles claim submissions directly to your insurance.

Please Note: The cost per session can vary significantly depending on your insurance plan. Some in-network clients have a copay ranging from $10–$40, while others may be subject to a deductible. If you have a deductible, you may be responsible for the full session fee—typically between $110 and $132—until your deductible is met. (The initial intake session may cost slightly more.)

You can often find helpful information about your insurance plan—such as the type (e.g. PPO vs. HMO), your copay, or deductible—right on your insurance card.

While we’re happy to assist, it’s ultimately your responsibility to understand your insurance coverage and be prepared for the financial investment of therapy. See below for more info on understanding the process and checking your benefits prior to starting therapy. 

The In-Network Billing Process:

1. Before your first session, you’ll enter your insurance information and a payment method through our secure client portal.

2. We will verify your insurance eligibility and get an estimate of your copay or deductible and use that estimate to set your billing for the first few sessions.

3. After your session, we’ll submit a claim to your insurance company. They’ll review it and send us a report (called an Explanation of Benefits, or EOB) that tells us what they covered and what your actual cost is. This usually takes 2–6 weeks.

4. Once we receive the final report, we’ll reconcile any difference between what you were initially charged and what insurance actually covered — either by refunding you or charging the remaining balance. 

How to Check Your In-Network Benefits Prior to Sessions:

You can often find helpful information about your insurance plan—such as the type (e.g. PPO vs. HMO), your copay, or deductible—right on your insurance card.

To confirm your mental health coverage, we recommend calling your insurance company directly using the number on the back of your card. When you call, ask the representative the following questions:

• “Do I have coverage for outpatient mental health visits (either in-person or telehealth)?”
• “Is there a deductible I need to meet before coverage begins? If so, how much is it?”
• “Once I meet my deductible, what is my copay or coinsurance per session?”
• “Do I need pre-authorization for mental health sessions?”
• “Are there any limits to the number of sessions covered?”

If needed, you can reference our practice’s billing NPI: 1902418650.

If a provider is out-of-network, they do not have a contract with your insurance company.

If we are not in-network with your insurance plan, this means:

• You’ll pay our private pay session rate up front (see “Private Pay Fee” tab above)

• Upon request, we’ll provide you with a Superbill (detailed invoice) each month.

• You can submit that to your insurance company for possible partial reimbursement (often 50–80%).

We recommend calling your insurance company prior to sessions to confirm your OON eligibility and benefit details. Here is guidance on how to check your OON eligibility and benefits: 

Step one: call the number on the back of your insurance card and follow the prompts 

Step Two: ask a member representative the following questions:

• Do I have out-of-network benefits for outpatient, mental health, office visit and/or telehealth visits? 
• Can you explain my coverage details, so I know what I will owe?
• How do I go about submitting claims for reimbursement?

We understand that life can bring financial challenges, and we want to make care as accessible and sustainable as possible. Here are a few ways to help therapy work within your budget:

1. Use HSA/FSA Funds
We accept Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) for all sessions, whether you’re using in-network or out-of-network benefits. You or a family member may have access to these funds through your employer—be sure to check!

2. Explore Out-of-Network (OON) Benefits
If we’re out-of-network with your insurance, you may still have OON benefits that offer partial reimbursement. For guidance, see the section titled “Understanding Out-of-Network Billing.”

3. Ask About Sliding Scale Options
Reduced-fee sessions are available on a case-by-case basis. Our graduate-level residents are specifically available for sliding scale care for eligible clients. If you’re interested, ask us about completing a brief assessment to see if you qualify.

4. Customize Your Session Frequency
You have full control over how often you meet with your therapist. Some clients choose to meet weekly, while others opt for biweekly or monthly sessions based on their needs and budget.
