Because I am a licensed social worker, many health insurance plans will help you pay for therapy. I also work with many Empoyee Assistance Plans offerred as an additional benefit from your place of employment. I accept the following insurance plans as well as others that might not be on the list:
I am a provider on some health insurance plans not listed, however I accept a limited number of these referrals due to low reimbursement rates.
Clients are responsible for verifying insurance benefits before the first appointment.
If you choose not to use insurance, my fee is $100 per hour. Phone consultation is $45 for a 30 minute session. By not using your insurance to pay for therapy, you can be assured of strict confidentiality. However, if you do not use insurance, I would like to first set up a free initial consultation meeting. This will last 30 minutes. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the nuts and bolts of how therapy works. We will discuss scheduling, my treatment philosophy, and your concerns and questions.
Please be aware that if your mental health insurance benefit is managed by a managed care company, all managed care plans involve direct clinical management by the company. This makes it necessary for me to work together with your company to determine the nature of your treatment and, therefore, does have impact on confidentiality.
I accept Mastercard and Visa payments at my office.
Under special circumstances, I also can accept online payment for first-time client reservations via Paypal. Please call if you are interested in this payment method.
