Frequently asked questions.
Where Do We Begin?
Please fill out the consultation form. This will help me to understand a little bit about you and know how to guide us in moving forward.
Please allow me at least 2-4 business days to get back to you. We will briefly discuss the pre-intake process and get you scheduled for the initial consultation.
Before getting started, it is encouraged that you check in with your insurance company to find out more about your out of network coverage, if applicable.
What does Out of Network mean?
When a provider is out of network this means they do not work directly with insurance companies.
As a client, this mean that you will be responsible for payment at the time of service. Those with out of network benefits will be provided with a claim form to submit directly to their insurance for reimbursement. Some insurance plans will reimburse up to 80% of the cost. I am unfortunately not able to determine what rates you are entitled to. Please check in directly with your specific plan. I cannot reimburse you the amount not covered.
I have insurance, but you are out of network. Now what?
Although I have chosen to remain out of network of major insurance plans, I know how important it is to have accessible and quality mental health care.
If you are covered by an insurance plan that offers out of network benefits for behavioral health, I will provide you with a claim form with all necessary information that you will need to be reimbursed. Please be aware that all plans are different. Therefore, the insurance company decides the amount of reimbursement you receive. I cannot be a liason between you and your insurance, and will not accept direct payment from an insurance company. Claim forms are to be submitted directly by you and reimbursement will be sent directly back to you.
I do not have insurance, and cannot afford your rates. Is there a way to still work with you?
I understand times are tough, and I strive to keep my services as accessible as possible.
If you do not have out of network benefits and cannot afford my full rates, I offer reduced fee slots. Please be aware these slots are limited, but still feel free to reach out and discuss your needs.
