Cancellations

To avoid being charged for a missed session, clients must call or text at least 35 hours in advance.
Please note that cancellations are not accepted via email.

Important: I do not offer couples therapy, and I do not work with clients under the age of 21.


Confidentiality & Insurance Requirements

  • Insurance requirements: To process claims, insurance providers require basic information regarding the reason for treatment.
  • Managed care plans: Some may request more detailed clinical information.
  • Psychiatric diagnosis: Insurance coverage requires a formal psychiatric diagnosis, as health insurance is designed to cover the treatment of illness.


Payment & Insurance

  • I accept UnitedHealthcare, Oxford Plans, and Aetna Insurance.
  • I also qualify for out-of-network reimbursement with most insurance plans.
  • Sessions are typically billed monthly, and I provide a reimbursement statement with all information required by most insurance companies.
  • My fees fall within the range considered “usual and customary” by insurance providers.


Payment options: Direct payment is accepted. Reimbursement paperwork for insurance is supplied upon request.
