*free 15-minute consultation

My fee for a 50-minute therapy session is $160. You’re entitled to a *Good Faith Estimate that will be provided after your initial consultation if you decide to schedule therapy with me.

I’m in-network with several insurance plans. Please contact me for more information.

Deciding how to pay for mental health treatment is a significant choice. Many individuals find that paying directly for their therapy provides a more confidential and personalized experience. Here’s why:

Focus on Wellness, Not Pathology: Insurance requires a "medical necessity," meaning a formal mental health diagnosis. Private pay allows us to focus on your personal growth, life transitions, and overall well-being without this restrictive requirement.

Protecting Your Private Health Information: To use insurance, a diagnosis and other private information must be released to your provider, creating a permanent record. By paying privately, you ensure that your therapy remains confidential and your information is secure.

Access to Specialized Care: Your choice of therapist shouldn't be limited. Paying privately allows you to select a therapist based on their expertise and fit for your needs, rather than being restricted to a small, in-network list of providers.

Personalized and Flexible Treatment: Insurance companies can dictate the terms of your therapy, including the number of sessions and treatment goals. Private pay puts you in control, allowing you and your therapist to create a treatment plan that is tailored to your unique circumstances and evolves with your needs.
