Fees & Accessibility
I’m out of network (OON) with insurance panels, meaning I don’t accept insurance, for several reasons:
Privacy. Insurance billing requires a mental health diagnosis attached to your name, submitted to your insurer, and retained in databases you don't control. Insurance companies can also audit my clinical notes at any time. For clients whose care touches gender, kink, non-monogamy, or sex work, that record can matter in ways insurers don't have to care about. Private pay means your clinical record stays between us, protected by HIPAA and my licensure, with no third-party copy.
No one else steering your care. Insurers can limit session counts, require medical necessity reviews, and effectively decide when you're done. Depth work doesn't run on an insurer's clock. Ours ends when the work is done, which is a decision we make together.
Sustainability. A small, private-pay practice means I see fewer clients, with more attention for each one. You get a therapist who isn't running on fumes.
My fee is $175 per session for individuals. I hold a small number of reduced-fee slots for those for whom cost is a barrier to care. To inquire about reduced-fee availability, please email me.
If your insurance plan has out-of-network benefits (many PPO plans do), you may be eligible for reimbursement. Clients with OON benefits often recover 50–80% of the fee after their deductible. This process involves submitting a superbill, or receipt, to your insurance company.
I use a payment processor that can automate this process for you, so that you don’t have to manually submit superbills for each session.
Submitting a superbill does involve sharing a diagnosis code, but rarely involves sharing session notes. If record privacy is your priority, you can simply choose not to submit.
