Fees & insurance

Initial diagnostic assessment: $120
​Individual session: $100/50 minute session

Payment is due at the time of service. I accept all major credit and debit cards. ​

I contract with the billing company Headway to provide therapy services for individuals who would like to use their health insurance.

I am in-network with the following health insurance networks:
  • Aetna
  • Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield
  • Cigna
  • United Healthcare (including Ohio University student health insurance) 
  • Oscar Health
  • Oxford
  • Medical Mutual

Each individual insurance plan is different. Prior to your first session, it is your responsibility to consult your insurance company directly to determine your behavioral health benefits including deductibles and applicable co-pays. Your insurance company will inform you about whether your sessions will be covered, what percentage will be covered, and their procedures for reimbursement.

If I am out-of-network for your insurance company, we still can work together.  Most health insurance plans have a way to seek out-of-network reimbursement and some clients choose to use this benefit. Once a diagnosis has been made, I can provide a superbill which you may choose to submit to your health insurance provider for out-of-network reimbursement. The insurance company will then send the reimbursement directly to you. I cannot guarantee reimbursement from your insurance company and it is your responsibility to check with your insurance company about their coverage prior to starting services.

Before starting therapy, we will schedule a free 15 minute consultation in which we get to know each other and find out what you’d like to work on together. This will help us make sure we’re a good fit and that I’m able to meet your needs.

I also work with a limited number of uninsured or underinsured clients on a sliding scale fee basis through Open Path Collective. Open Path Collective requires a one-time fee of $59 to register, but you are registered for life and can also connect with other therapists who are accepting clients at a sliding scale rate. 

Cancellation Policy:

If you need to cancel an appointment, a minimum of a 24 hour notice must be given or you will be charged a cancellation fee of $50. Exceptions are made for personal and family emergencies, sudden illness, severe weather conditions, or similar extenuating circumstances, when I am made aware of the situation. This policy applies the same to all clients and all methods of payment. If you have more than two “no-shows” (where you do not show up for a scheduled appointment without informing me ahead of time), your treatment may be terminated and referrals will be provided. If you are more than 20 minutes late, it is considered a “no show”. “No shows” are also charged the same fee as late cancellation.

Good Faith Estimates:

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
