Do you take insurance?

I am an out-of-network provider and do not take insurance. If your insurance takes out-of-network therapists, I can provide a detailed invoice aka “superbill” for you to submit to your insurance for possible partial or full reimbursement.

To determine if you will be reimbursed for my services, call your insurance company and ask them some of the following questions:

• What percentage of the fee will I be reimbursed based on my plan for an out-of-network provider?

• How will I be reimbursed?

• Does a primary care physician have to provide approval first?

• What is my deductible and has it been met?

• What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

• Are there are restrictions regarding the type of therapy or the therapist’s credentials?

• What information about my therapy treatment will you need in order for me to get reimbursed?

• Are there other restrictions or anything else I should know about?

Do I need to fill our paperwork?

Yes. I will provide paperwork to you electronically (including practice policies, intake forms, and assessments) through my practice management software called Session Health. It is safe, secure, and HIPAA compliant. You will have access to all paperwork through the client portal online. Please allow at least 30 minutes to fill out the forms and submit at least 24 hours before initial session.

What can I expect from therapy?

Every client has individual needs and goals. We will work together to develop a plan for you. You can expect me to provide a compassionate, safe, warm environment for you each and every session.

What is EMDR Therapy and is it right for me?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a model of psychotherapy that was developed to treat trauma or disturbing life experiences but has proven effective in treating anxiety and depression as well. Symptoms arising from trauma can include anxiety, nightmares, flashbacks, mood swings, difficulty concentrating or sleeping, confusion, and many more. We will take a look at your current symptoms and assess your past to see if you are experiencing effects from incidents that are making it difficult to move on. You may feel like they are stuck in your body. We will use EMDR to help your body move these “stuck” traumatic memories so that symptoms of the experience in the past will “refile” or reorganize in your nervous system and live in the past where they belong so that you can continue to heal. To learn more about EMDR, visit the EMDRIA website.

What is EFT Couples therapy and is right for me?

Emotionally Focused Therapy is an evidence-based modality to help repair relationships. EFT is a humanistic approach that combines attachment science, experiential theories, and relational systems theories. It assumes that underneath all conflict, partners are asking: Am I safe with you? Will you stick by me when things get hard? By identifying emotional and behavioral patterns that aren’t working, we can work to change them. I will help you identify your needs and communicate them with empathy and love to your partner and your partner will do the same. EFT can help you feel validated, understood, and ultimately safe in the relationship enough to make necessary changes to the partner “dance.” The outcome we’re aiming for is a more connected, passionate partnership. To learn more about EFT, visit the ICEEFT website.

How are Teletherapy appointments conducted?

I use practice management software for all teletherapy appointments. Our video appointments are safe, secure, and HIPAA compliant. There’s no need to download an app or software to your phone or computer. You simply click on the appointment link sent to your e-mail to begin the session. You will be provided with and have access to all paperwork through the client portal.

What if I need to cancel?

I require a 24-hour notice to cancel or reschedule your appointment due to limitations involved in scheduling or rescheduling. If appointments are cancelled less than 24 hours in advance, you will be charged your full session rate. Exceptions will be allowed for emergencies and specific extenuating circumstances. 

Can I request a Good Faith Estimate?

You have a right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have a right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency medical services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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 of the Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
