Investment

Investing In Therapy Is Investing In Yourself, Your Well-Being, And Your Life Moving Forward.
It can be the best investment you’ll ever make.
​You can find fulfillment in your everyday life again.
​But that doesn't just spontaneously happen on its own; this healing and growth happens because you've chosen to invest in it. 

​This work isn't for the meek – luckily, my clients are full of grit and resilience, so they're made for this work.
​
Make the investment to find the right therapist for you; make the commitment to show up for yourself; and engage in the work both in and out of session.  

Make the investment, and your life can change for the better.

Therapy Is An Investment Of:

Time

​Therapy is like any other thing we do to take care of ourselves: it doesn’t work if we’re not doing it regularly and consistently.

This investment includes time both in and out of session.
​
​Clients benefit the most from therapy when they schedule appointments either weekly or every-other week.

​Once progress is made, many clients then choose to schedule monthly as a way to help support their progress, with sessions being a valuable chance for them to slow down and check in.

Energy

​One of my favorite things clients often tell me is how much they look forward to their sessions. Our work together is serious, but it doesn’t at all have to be a dreadful, painful experience. We can have fun, and often do.

​That said, therapy is certainly an investment of emotional energy. It requires a willingness to be vulnerable, to sit with uncomfortable feelings, and to face all the hard stuff.

​But here’s the deal: as much energy as you’re willing to put into your work, I am willing to invest the same.

Financial Resources

​Yes, therapy is expensive.

​And, if you’ve found the right therapist, it really is absolutely worth every dollar.

Because, not to sound corny, but the rewards you can gain from effective therapy really are priceless:
​
- peace of mind
- groundedness
- hopefulness
​- contentment
- fulfillment

Okay, maybe a little corny, but still true.

​​The fee for each 45 minute therapy session is $150.

Insurance

After years of accepting insurance, I chose – thoughtfully and intentionally – to be out-of-network with all insurance companies,
​because, perhaps counterintuitively (or not, because the system's broken), it allows for so many important benefits for my clients and our work together. In short, I do not accept insurance because it allows my clients and me to do better work together.
1

Focus on What Matters

Rather than excessive (and arbitrary) administrative burden monopolizing my time outside of session, I'm able to invest more of my energy on the clinical matters that actually benefit my clients. This includes clinical consultations with colleagues, as well as ongoing training, so I can be the best therapist I can be for you. It matters that I'm more able to focus on you and on our work together – after all, that's what we're here for.
2

Individualized Care

Insurance companies pay therapists as little as they can, which then requires therapists to see way too many clients. And so, by being out-of-network, I am able to prioritize keeping a small caseload. That really matters, because, simply put, that's what allows me to do my best work with and for you. You deserve thoughtful, attentive, and personalized care that is individualized to you and your unique needs and goals.

Autonomy

We, as a team, have full control over the work you do in therapy. You get to decide what you want to work on, and we get to decide together how we work on that. You get to decide how long you stay in therapy, based on its usefulness and helpfulness to you. Insurance doesn’t get to place limitations on your work in therapy in order to prioritize their profits over your well-being.
4

Privacy

You have greater privacy with your confidential information. No sensitive, personal information is required to be shared with your insurance company (for the sole purpose of them denying you coverage of services). Additionally, no mental health diagnosis – which then becomes part of your permanent health record – is required to be assigned and submitted to your insurance company.

Options To Help With The Cost
  • ​I accept FSA and HSA cards. You can use pre-tax dollars through your Health Savings or Flexible Savings Account to pay for therapy.
  • You can utilize your out-of-network benefits. Upon request, I am happy to provide you with a form, called a superbill, that you can then submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement under your policy’s out-of-network benefits. You pay in full at each appointment, and then, based on your benefits, insurance reimburses you after you submit the superbill. (Please note that the superbill must contain limited information about your services, including a diagnosis, type of treatment, and dates of service.)
  • We can discuss the frequency of your appointments. When first starting therapy, it is helpful to schedule weekly sessions in order for us to find our groove in our work together and get the most momentum built toward your goals. Most clients begin with weekly and then transition to every-other week. However, if twice-monthly sessions would fit better within your budget, we can absolutely discuss whether every-other week appointments are appropriate for you from the start of services.

Good Faith Estimate

​In compliance with the No Surprises Act that went into effect January 1, 2022, all healthcare providers are required to notify clients of their Federal rights and protections against “surprise billing.” This Act requires that I notify you of your federally protected rights to receive a notification when services are rendered by an out-of-network provider, if a client is uninsured, or if a client elects not to use their insurance.
