I work primarily as a self-pay provider because it gives us the freedom to focus on what truly matters: you, your story, your needs, and the depth of care that actually helps you grow. There’s no forced diagnosis timeline. No mandatory disclosures. No session limits. No one reviewing your records except you and me. Just therapy that moves at a pace that supports real change for you.
Payment: I accept cash, check, and all major credit cards as forms of payment.
Insurance typically requires a formal mental health diagnosis in your first session, access to your treatment records, strict session lengths and timelines, justification for why you need care, and approval for continued treatment. My approach is different. I believe therapy should be tailored, private, and free of external pressure, and self-pay gives us that flexibility.
If using insurance is important for you, I do accept the following plans:
If you have PPO coverage with another company, I can often be used as an Out-of-Network Provider, and you may receive reimbursement.
If you’d like to use your PPO benefits, we can discuss superbills (statements you submit for reimbursement), out-of-network coverage, what your plan may reimburse, how to check your benefits, just email me and I’ll help you understand your options or walk you through the process.
Life happens. But please cancel at least 24 hours before your appointment. Late cancellations or missed sessions may be charged at the full rate.
