Therapy is a time, emotional, and financial investment that doubles as an opportunity to improve your quality of life in all areas. What does this investment look like? For those without insurance, it’s private pay through SimplePractice; for those with insurance, I help reduce your cost through Thrizer – but we’ll get to that in a moment. So what does the cost of counseling get you by working with me?

• Every individual, couple, and polycule starts with a 2-hour intake. This is where we dive right in and take the time to discover what your most important goals and questions are to give us a place to start that best fits you and your situation.
• All therapy sessions are 50 minutes until your goals are met. Unlike most therapists, I will not tell you what your schedule is; I understand everyone has different lives, and it can be hard to gather everyone at the same time every week. That means that you pick what works best for you – whether it’s weekly, every other week, or even once a month. 
• Additionally, I bill in “increments” which means if you need to talk longer than your scheduled hour (if there are no other scheduled appointments directly after) we can continue to talk – and you won’t get billed for a whole extra hour, just the time you use. That way you never have to pay for time that didn’t serve you. This also means if you need “intensive” or hours long sessions (especially for deep trauma therapy), that can be scheduled at an hourly rate rather than other therapist that charge upwards of $5,000 or more for a 6-8 hour session (for example, if you needed to talk to me for a solid 6 hours to process something in depth – the increments would only add up to $1,050 of individual time, rather than $5,000).
• Check-ins between appointments are also available. Let’s face it, life happens, and sometimes you can’t wait until your next appointment. I generally give quick responses to emails and secure messaging through the client portal (which is optional of course).
• If something comes up and you cannot make the appointment but the appointment is less than 24-hours, you do get a cancellation fee – but this is to protect both your time slot, and me. However, unlike other therapists, if this does have to happen I will send you an hour’s worth of useful information according to your needs. This could be articles related to something you’ve been working on, blogs, videos, shorts, or simply some extra details on something we’ve been working on together that will be aimed to give you knowledge, psychoeducation, tools for communication, or emotional regulation aimed for your specific needs. This way even if you don’t see me, you still get your money’s worth. 
• Convenient online scheduling with flexible hours; I see you introverts, I got you fam. You can easily set up appointments online with me (and through your client portal app), and if you can’t make the same time/day from week to week or month to month, I completely understand. If the thought of having to schedule every week gives you the ick, we can talk about that in your free consultation and I can set up your preferred time and day as a recurring appointment. That way you only have to mess with scheduling if you need to reschedule or cancel easily through your client portal online or through the app.
• Google Calendar with everyone’s appointments, dates, birthdays, and holidays can sometimes be confusing and frustrating. No worries, I set you up with Automatic appointment reminders, so you know when your next appointment is, and I’ll provide you with the link in the same message so you will never have to go looking for it.

I will be honest with you, I am not a fan of insurance companies because most of them want to control what your therapy involves, when, how often, and when it ends – regardless of your needs; I would rather YOU be in control of your therapy. Most insurance companies do not cover marriage therapy anyway, so regardless of where you go that will probably be paid out of pocket.

Have no fear, though I am currently a private-pay, out-of-network provider, while I don’t accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you will only have to pay a copay for our sessions post-deductible, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This typically allows clients to save on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our free consultation or intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your copay would be.

Even though I am considered out-of-network, you can still feel free to reach out to your provider to see if you qualify for reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses on your own as well. I am happy to provide you with a Superbill that you can submit to your insurance company if you would like to seek reimbursement yourself. If you use HSA or FSA, you can reach out to them so see if they cover couples therapy as well. Lastly, there have been clients that were able to deduct their therapy expense as an out-of-pocket medical expense; so, reach out to your tax advisor or accountant to determine your eligibility.

If you do not have insurance, then you would just be billed directly through my EHR, SimplePractice, as a private-pay with the same access to your superbills should you ever get insurance and need to upload a backlog to work on your deductibles. I also offer Auto Pay for those that may be forgetful like me and like the convenience of having it take care of itself.
