Fees & Insurance

I believe that therapy is an investment worthy of your time and financial resources.
Investing in your mental health will reap life-long benefits.

For many people, there are benefits to not using insurance. Not only is your confidentiality protected, but decisions about frequency of visits and length of treatment are made by you instead of your insurance company. When you use your health insurance for psychotherapy services, I am required to diagnose you with a mental illness. While this is industry standard, some professionals are concerned about having a mental health diagnosis on their permanent health records. I encourage you to speak with me about this decision.

If you choose to use your insurance benefits, I am an in-network provider for Blue Cross-Blue Shield, Pacific Source and Aetna.   If you are insured by one of these companies, you will make a co-pay for each session, and the amount is determined by your specific plan.  If your insurance allows for out-of-network benefits, I can provide you with a receipt or statement to submit for reimbursement.

Each person’s plan is different, so please call your insurance company before we meet to find out what outpatient mental health benefits your specific plan offers.
