TIME
Individual psychotherapy sessions are 45 minutes in length weekly. I do not do Couple Therapy Sessions. I do not work with clients under the age of 21.
CANCELLATIONS
To cancel a session and not be responsible for payment, clients/patients must call or text me 35 hours in advance. Cancellations are not accepted via emails.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Insurance Requirements: To process claims insurance companies require some information about the reason for psychological treatment. Managed Care Plans also can require detailed information regarding the problem for which you are seeking help.
Psychiatric Diagnosis: Health insurance is designed to pay for the treatment of illness. Therefore, a psychiatric diagnosis must be made before insurance companies will pay.
PAYMENT AND INSURANCE
I accept United Health Care, Oxford Plans, and Aetna Insurances. I qualify for patient reimbursement for out-of-network treatment under most health insurance plans. I typically bill monthly, and I will provide you with a reimbursement statement that includes information required by most insurance companies. My fees are within the range of what most insurance companies consider “usual and customary.”
I accept cash and credit cards. You may also pay through Cash App, PayPal, and Zelle.
