Rates & Insurance

I don't accept insurance directly — but that doesn't mean therapy is out of reach.

Working outside of insurance networks allows me to focus entirely on your care — without session limits, required diagnoses, or treatment plans submitted to third parties. For trauma and EMDR work in particular, this matters: healing rarely fits a predetermined timeline, and your records stay private.

My individual therapy session fee is $220 per 55 minute session. Many clients are able to significantly reduce this cost using their out-of-network benefits — often paying far less than they expect. I've partnered with a platform called Thrizer to make that process straightforward.

A NOTE ON OUT-OF-NETWORK BENEFITS

Most commercial insurance plans include out-of-network mental health coverage — and many clients don't know they have it. If you have a PPO or similar plan, there's a good chance Thrizer can reduce your per-session cost by 50–80%. Thrizer's benefits calculator takes about two minutes and shows you exactly what your covereage is before you commit to anything.

What if I don't have out-of-network benefits?

You're welcome to pay my full session fee directly. I accept all major credit and debit cards, HSA, and FSA. If cost is a significant barrier, please reach out — I hold a limited number of sliding scale spots and am happy to discuss options.

Will my insurance know I'm in therapy?

When you use out-of-network benefits, a diagnosis code is submitted to your insurance as part of the claim. This is true whether you use Thrizer or submit a superbill yourself. If privacy is a concern, paying out of pocket without insurance involvement is also an option — just let me know.

Why insurance plans are covered through Thrizer?

Thrizer works with most commercial insurance plans (Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna, United, and others). It does not work with Medicaid, Medicare, or HMO plans that don't include out-of-network coverage.

Do I need to sign up for Thrizer myself?

You don't need to do anything in advance. Once we've decided to work together, I'll send you a link to connect your insurance through Thrizer's portal. The process takes a few minutes and I'll walk you through it if needed.

Cancellation Policy

If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 48 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you may be charged for the full rate of the session.
