FAQs:

An initial consultation is a brief, 15-minute conversation over phone or video call. I encourage a video call so you can get a “real” feeling of what sessions may be like. This initial conversation is a chance for us to get to know each other. You’ll be able to share what you’re looking for in therapy, ask any questions you may have, and get a sense of whether we’re the right fit. There’s no pressure — just a simple, friendly conversation to help you take the next step.

At this time, I provide services to clients located in MD, FL, and SC. I work with clients 16+.

I work most effectively with clients who are open to the therapeutic process and those who are interested in growing and craving warm, validating emotional support.

Cost varies by the type of session and the duration of the time we spend together.

Initial intake evaluation- $175

Individual psychotherapy session- $150

Parent education session- $150

Initial intake evaluation for group therapy- $50

Group therapy- $50 per session

Good Faith Estimate: Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the cost of your mental health care. This estimate outlines the expected fees for services you may receive, so you can make informed decisions about your care.

You will receive a written estimate of costs before your first appointment and at any time upon request. The Good Faith Estimate is not a bill — it is simply a transparent look at the potential costs of therapy based on your individual treatment plan.

Most clients tend to meet on a weekly, bi-weekly (every other week), or monthly basis.

I have availability throughout the day to accommodate varying schedules, nap times, and lunch breaks. I do offer evening and weekend appointment openings on a case-by-case basis.

At this time, I am considered an out-of-network provider and do not take insurance. I choose to work out-of-network to provide personalized, flexible care without the limitations that often come with insurance plans. This allows me to focus fully on your goals and needs, rather than what’s approved by insurance.

I’m happy to provide superbills for services that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

I do maintain 2-3 sliding scale spots at a time to increase accessibility to high-quality mental health services. Please contact me to learn more.

You may call your insurance provider to verify if you have out-of-network mental health coverage. I suggest asking the following questions:

• Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?

• Is there a deductible for out-of-network services?

• How much is the deductible?

• How much of my deductible has been met this year?

• What percentage of the session fee is reimbursed after I meet my deductible?

• What is the “allowed amount” or “reasonable & customary rate” for an out-of-network psychotherapy session?

• Do you require a mental health diagnosis for reimbursement?

• Is there a limit to the number of sessions reimbursed per year?

• Are telehealth therapy sessions covered out-of-network?

• What is the process for submitting an out-of-network claim?

• What forms or documents do I need to submit?

• Where do I send the claims?

• How long does it take to receive reimbursement after submitting a claim?

• Are there any pre-authorization requirements for out-of-network therapy?

• Are there any exclusions I should be aware of for mental health coverage?

• Are there any specific diagnoses that are excluded from reimbursement?

Pro Tip: Make sure to get the name of the representative you speak with and the reference number for the call.

At this time, services are primarily virtual so you can participate in therapy in a comfortable, convenient setting. I use a HIPPA-compliant platform where you can access appointments and complete new client paperwork with ease and privacy.

You can expect sessions to feel safe, comfortable and laid-back. Establishing a solid relationship between client and therapist is at the core of how I operate.

Please also know that as a practice serving parents with babies and small children, your kiddos are always welcome in session. While I encourage clients to protect their therapy time to meet their own needs, raising little humans does not always make this possible. Please feel free to have nursing babies, napping children, or busy toddlers in your background!

To get the most out of your session, I encourage clients to take a few moments prior to your appointment to reflect on recent events, stuck points, and individual needs. Bringing a few key points to session provides us a framework for processing and problem-solving. I want you to leave session feeling seen, heard, and with new tools to tend to the challenges discussed. For telehealth, I also recommend creating a quiet, private space with a secure internet connection.

If you’re interested in working together, please fill out our Potential Client Inquiry Form. I will follow up within 2-3 business days.
