Payment and Insurance

Mental health services may be covered by your insurance company. However, it is your responsibility to know your coverage, if you have deductibles or copays.   I am a provider with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, Aetna and Cofinity. Any other insurance companies would be considered out of network. While our office will bill your insurance as a courtesy, coverage is not guaranteed and payment will be collected at time of service. Couples therapy is NOT covered by insurance companies and will result in out of pocket expense.

If you are not using insurance, out of pocket fees rates are the following:

Intake Session (60 minutes) $195

Individual Session (50 minutes) $140

Couples Therapy (50 minutes) $150
