Frequently asked questions.

FAQ

  • Yes. I accept several insurance plans through Headway and Greenberg Psychological, which manages insurance verification, billing, and claims on your behalf.

    If you choose to use insurance:

    • Your session cost is determined by your plan (copay, deductible, or coinsurance)

    • Headway will verify your benefits before your first session

    • Insurance rates are set by the provider and are not adjustable

    If you’re unsure whether to use insurance or private pay, we can talk through your options.

  • I currently accept insurance through Headway including Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, Oxford, and Oscar, with plans to continue expanding.

  • My standard private-pay fee starts at $200 per 60-minute session, depending on the type of therapy.

    I also offer a tiered private-pay rate structure designed to support access while maintaining ethical, sustainable care. Full details are available on the Pricing & Access page.

  • Clients choosing private pay are invited to select a rate tier based on their current access to financial resources.

    This model:

    • Acknowledges systemic inequities that impact access to care

    • Centers client autonomy and trust

    • Avoids income verification or documentation

    • Supports long-term sustainability for both client and clinician

    You are not asked to justify your choice.

  • Yes. Rates are not permanent labels.

    If your financial circumstances change, we can revisit your rate together. Sliding-scale and reduced-fee arrangements are typically reviewed every 3–6 months to ensure they remain appropriate and sustainable.

  • A limited number of reduced-fee and community-care spots are available at any given time.

    Once these spaces are filled:

    • I may offer a waitlist

    • Or provide referrals to trusted clinicians and community resources

    This boundary allows me to provide consistent, ethical care to all clients.

  • No.
    All clients receive the same quality of care, attention, and clinical approach regardless of payment method.

    The difference is strictly administrative.

  • In some cases, yes.

    Switching between insurance and private pay depends on:

    • Your insurance plan’s policies

    • Clinical considerations

    • Administrative requirements

    If you’re considering a change, we can discuss what’s possible before making any adjustments.

  • If you are not using insurance through Headway or Greenberg Psychological, I can provide a superbill upon request for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

    Reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your insurance plan.

  • Sessions canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be subject to a cancellation fee.

    Insurance plans typically do not cover missed or late-canceled sessions, meaning clients are responsible for the full fee in those cases.

    Details are reviewed during the intake process.

  • If you’re experiencing financial hardship:

    • You’re welcome to inquire about current reduced-fee availability

    • If my practice is full, I can offer referrals to lower-cost or community-based options when possible

    Needing support while navigating financial stress is valid.

  • Sessions are held over a secure video platform. All you need is a quiet space and internet connection.
