Frequently Asked Questions

Individual psychotherapy and music psychotherapy sessions are $250 for a 45-minute session. EMDR therapy sessions are $290 for a 55-minute session.

I work with insurance as an out-of-network provider. While I am not directly contracted with your insurance company, I provide a superbill (similar to an invoice) that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. I work with clients who have PPO or POS plans through major providers, including Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. These plans often include out-of-network mental health benefits that people aren't always aware of.

Insurance-based therapy requires that treatment meet criteria for medical necessity, meaning sessions must focus on reducing symptoms associated with a mental health diagnosis. While this model can increase access to care, it can also limit therapy to a problem-focused, short-term framework. Some clients find that this approach does not fully support deeper relational healing, identity exploration, or preventative care. These are areas that are often central to long-term well-being. Working outside of insurance allows for more flexibility, privacy, and individualized treatment.

I offer private-pay therapy so our work can remain flexible, depth-oriented, and guided by your needs, rather than insurance requirements. This means we can move at your pace and focus on what feels most meaningful to you.

Clients with out-of-network benefits typically receive 40% to 100% reimbursement for sessions after their deductible has been met (if applicable).

Two ways to use your out-of-network benefits

Option 1: I handle the claims for you

Through Thrizer, I submit claims directly to your insurance after each session. Your reimbursement goes straight to your bank account, typically within 2 to 4 weeks for a small fee between $2-$2.50. No paperwork on your end.

Prefer to skip the wait?

Thrizer's copay-only option lets you pay just your estimated copay at each session (plus a $10 to $12 fee), and they handle everything behind the scenes.

Option 2: You submit claims yourself
I'll provide a monthly superbill you can submit to your insurance directly.

Yes, I keep a limited number of sliding scale spots available. If the full fee isn't feasible right now, please reach out and we can chat!
