*Please contact your Insurance before we begin services to see if Mental Health services are covered in your plan and that I am In-Network with your specific plan.
Out-Of-Network
You may still be able to submit to your insurance if I am not a provider. You can check with your company regarding possible benefits for out-of-network mental health providers. I will provide you with a receipt (aka "Superbill") for you to submit your own claim form if you decide to seek partial reimbursement. Payment in full is due at the time of service. Scroll down to "Understanding Insurance" for more information on how to confirm with your insurance company regarding your benefits and what questions to ask.

Cancellation & No-Show Policy:
Once we start our work, I am committed to you. I ask that you are equally invested. Your time is specifically reserved for you so it is important you attend your sessions on time and regularly to reap the benefits of therapy. Cancellations will need to be made at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. Otherwise, a $50 late cancellation fee / no-show fee may be charged to your account for missed appointments (Insurance will not reimburse for missed or late fees). Two consecutively cancelled appointments will result a conversation regarding potential barriers for attending sessions, requests for referrals, or termination. I understand unexpected life circumstances happen, so we can discuss if these situations arise. Late arrivals will not receive an extension of time as a courtesy for other clients after your appointment.
Understanding Insurance for Mental Health
Insurance benefits can be complex and confusing. You will need to check with your insurance before scheduling appointments with a mental health provider to find out what your specific plan covers and to understand your benefits. You can access your insurance company by contacting the number typically found on your card. It is important you do this to prevent any potential problems with billing and claims.
