Making care accessible
for those who need it most.

I am in-network with the following insurance plans for individual therapy. If you are unsure whether your plan is accepted, call and we will find out together.

Gold Coast Health Plan / Carelon

In-network for individual therapy sessions. Verify your benefits before your first appointment.

Optum / UnitedHealthcare

In-network for individual therapy sessions. Verify your benefits before your first appointment.

Out of network and superbill

If you have out of network benefits through your insurance plan, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement. I provide a monthly superbill — an itemized receipt with the clinical codes your insurance needs — that you can submit directly to your provider. Contact your insurance company to understand your out of network reimbursement rate before your first session.

HSA and FSA

Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts are accepted for all services including therapy, telehealth, and premarital counseling. Confirm eligibility and documentation requirements with your plan administrator.

Good Faith Estimate

Your right to know
what care will cost.

Under the No Surprises Act, clients who are uninsured or are not using insurance to pay for care are generally entitled to a Good Faith Estimate when services are scheduled at least three business days in advance or when an estimate is requested before scheduling. The estimate includes expected charges for the therapy services discussed.

When care is scheduled three to nine business days in advance, the estimate is generally provided within one business day. When care is scheduled ten or more business days in advance, it is generally provided within three business days. An estimate requested before scheduling is generally provided within three business days.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you may have the right to dispute that bill. For current information, visit CMS Medical Bill Rights or call (800) 985-3059.

This notice applies to clients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance for their care. A Good Faith Estimate will be provided upon request or before your first scheduled session.
