Fees and Insurance:

Psychotherapy appointments are typically scheduled for one 50-minute session per week.  My session fee is $150.00 for an initial assessment, then $100.00 for subsequent sessions.

I am an “in network” provider for Blue Cross Blue Shield.  If you have Blue Cross, I will file paperwork on your behalf if you sign the consent form for release of information.  I will need to call Blue Cross prior to your first session for you to be pre-approved for services with me.  

If you are under a different insurer, you may call them to see if you can be reimbursed for an out-of-network provider.  Some companies will reimburse 50 – 80% of your therapy services.   If you would like to pursue this option, you will pay my fee at the time of service, and I will provide you with a receipt for you to submit to your insurance company.

Please keep in mind that all insurance companies require some very personal information in order to reimburse for mental health care – this can include your diagnosis, treatment plan, or other information that varies by insurer.  I strongly encourage you to consider whether you are comfortable with private information being released to your insurer, particularly as I have no control over how that information is utilized or stored by the insurance company.  I am happy to discuss with you the pros and cons of using insurance to pay for your therapy.
