I am considered an “Out-Of-Network” provider, which means I do not accept any insurance directly. I’ve made the decision to work directly with my clients regarding payment, and they are very satisfied with this arrangement. 

If you would still like to use your insurance, then you can potentially do so if your insurance plan has “Out-Of-Network” benefits. The way that would work is, you would pay for therapy at the time of the session, and then I will provide you with a “superbill” that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

I would recommend calling your insurance company to confirm if your insurance policy has OON benefits for mental health services.

Otherwise you can choose to see me privately and not involve your insurance at all. See why many of my clients choose this option below.

Most of my clients actually prefer to work with me privately and not involve their insurance at all. This is because in order to use your insurance for counseling, a mental health diagnosis is required, and this gets attached to your record. If your challenges don’t meet the threshold of a diagnosis, then insurance companies can choose not to cover your therapy.  

Insurance can put limitations on the number of counseling sessions you can have, prior to truly completing the process.

An insurance company has a right to call the therapist and ask how sessions are going At any point they can say that therapy is no longer medically necessary and cancel the coverage

And by not taking insurance, I’m able to maintain a smaller caseload of clientele and devote all of my focus into helping people.

Instead of taking hours each week going back and forth with insurance, I devote that time and energy to my clients, resulting in better outcomes for therapy.

If you have more questions about this, or have questions about finding your OON benefits and would like to discuss, then I recommend reaching out to me on my contact page and I’d be happy to answer any questions.

I can tell you that the worst part is the waiting from booking to meeting me. Most people are afraid of if this person is what they say they are, and I can tell you whole heartedly, Yes. It’s the first session where we connect and get down to what you need. Most of my clients find that they immediately feel ready to release what they have been carrying, with someone who is equipped to carry it with them.

Men, Women, and the LGBTQ community who are experiencing loss. Loss of a life, identity, relationship, a job, or the person who you think you should be right at this moment.

Client Centered, solution focused, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Emotional Focused Therapy, and CBT.

Feeling a sense of relief, most feel that immediately when they feel they have found someone to work through their problems with.

If homework is for you, then yes. I love giving things to work on in between sessions, because that is where most of the work is done. But for the person who is overwhelmed and just needs our space to be their safe space…..then I respect and work with that.

I like to start out with weekly, then we move to the frequency based on your symptoms.

Something fun…..hmmmm. I am in the process of getting a therapy dog to be in sessions with me for my animal lovers!

Additional Note

My clients often ask me what do I think about after I am done working a long day of seeing clients

Absolutely nothing! Haha. I like to say we are professional secret keepers…..meaning that we walk around our normal lives knowing a lot of things about people, and we have the ability to not think about it and move forward with our normal lives.
