FAQs
-
Yes, I am in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and Blue Choice PPO plans. If you plan to use your mental health benefits, the practice will submit those claims to your insurance company for you. All other insurance plans are out-of-network. What does that mean? I will not bill your insurance directly, but I recommend that you contact your insurance to inquire about out-of-network benefits, particularly for behavioral health. You will pay for your sessions, and I will provide you with a Superbill – an itemized list of the service received. This document can be submitted to your insurance for direct reimbursement.

The frequency of our therapy sessions will be determined collaboratively based on your needs and treatment goals. The initial intake session is the first appointment. This is where we will discuss why you’re seeking therapy, see if we’re a good fit for each other, talk about your recent/ongoing symptoms and stressors, and establish goals for treatment. In the initial stages of therapy, meeting weekly is typical, and that’s because establishing a connection and building trust within the therapeutic relationship is key at the onset of therapy. We can adjust the session frequency as we review goals and assess progress made throughout treatment.

Yes, I want to ensure that individuals with different income levels can access the mental health support they need. I hold four appointments that are flexible and adjust to the needs and income of the client. The goal is to provide an inclusive space for all, and this is one way I feel I can make therapy more accessible. Sliding scale pricing can range from $0-$125 per session. Please do not hesitate to contact the practice for more information.
-
I ask that if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please notify the practice at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled appointment. If you miss your appointment or a 24-hour notice is not given, you will be responsible for the full payment of your missed session. The fee for missed appointments or late cancellations is $125. Please note that insurance will not cover the payment for late cancellations/missed appointments.
