Yes, I accept BCBS. Once you submit your information, my office will look up your benefits and provide you with the most up-to-date information posted in the BCBS system. However, we won’t get confirmation on copays, co-insurance, deductibles, etc. until the first claim is processed, at which point, we will communicate any changes.

If you have a different insurance carrier, I’m happy to provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance carrier for possible reimbursement. However, payment will be expected at the time of service and there’s no guarantee that your insurance carrier will pay.

Bear in mind that to cover treatment, insurance requires a mental health disorder diagnosis that goes in your medical record. The clinical diagnosis is based on your current symptoms even though you may have been previously diagnosed. We will discuss your diagnosis during the session. Your insurance company will know the times and dates of services provided and may request further information to authorize additional services regarding treatment.

You are responsible for attending each appointment. You will receive a text/email reminder of your appointment two days prior. If you cannot keep the scheduled appointment, you must notify our office to cancel or reschedule the appointment 24 hours prior to the scheduled appointment time. If you cancel or reschedule more than once, we may re-evaluate your needs, desires, and motivations for treatment at this time.

Keep in mind that insurance panels do not cover missed appointments. Therefore, in the event of a late cancellation, you are responsible for the full fee (not just your copay) for the missed appointment. Feel free to contact me with any further questions.

The fee for a 50-minute therapy session is currently $125 or based on the criteria of your BCBS plan (i.e., co-pay, coinsurance, deductible and out-of-pocket maximum, etc.). Rates are subject to change at any time, but every effort will be made to communicate changes in a timely manner. Payment is due at the time of service. Acceptable forms of payment include cash, credit/debit card, or check.

At this time, I do not offer fees on a sliding scale.

The schedule may change over time, but currently, I see clients Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri, typically 9am-4pm.

I currently offer virtual (or telehealth) sessions only.

“Therapists are like a coach standing on the sidelines observing your life, while your friends are actual players in the game. “Both are important, but the roles and perspectives are different.”
