    Need-To-Know

Please keep in mind that sometimes, when people seek therapy, it might not be because of a mental health disorder. Sometimes, people seek therapy to:

  • resolve issues in their relationships that cause them emotional distress.

  • learn healthy and effective ways to communicate and interact in their various relationships.

  • resolve work or school-related stress so they can thrive in their academics, jobs, or careers

  • gain some life skills to help them become more productive in their various areas of life or stages of development

  • Learn ways to adjust to changes in various aspects of their lives

  • Celebrate successes and accomplishments in their lives as a reinforcer for future goals and aspirations

    However, insurance requires a mental health diagnosis to reimburse outpatient mental health services. We will determine if you meet the diagnostic criteria during your first visit. If so, we will bill your insurance for the services you receive. Remember that your mental health diagnosis is part of your medical record.

  • Please review the in-network insurance list below. If I am out of network with your insurance, you will pay out of pocket for services, and I will provide a superbill to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement based on your policy. Please contact your insurance to verify whether you have out-of-network benefits.

  • The easiest way is to call your insurance or log into your insurance portal to see whether you have met your deductible for the year. Also, find out whether the deductible applies to outpatient mental health services. Some policies might waive deductibles for outpatient therapy services. I usually try to verify your insurance benefits before your first visit. However, the information I see on the provider portal may differ slightly when we submit an actual claim.

  • If you have an FSA or HSA card, you can use it to pay your copay or deductible, as allowed by your insurance plan.

  • If you have insurance and will use it for therapy, the fee you're charged may differ slightly from my self-pay rate.

  • Insurance does not cover ADSAC assessment.

  • In compliance with the No Surprises Act, you and I will understand your cost estimate before your first therapy session. You can determine this amount by calling your insurance (if you'll be using it) and asking how much you will be responsible for if you receive outpatient mental health services through an in-network or out-of-network provider. Please confirm my status with your insurance (in-network or out-of-network). I'll do the same on my end by verifying your benefits through the provider portal and letting you know once I receive your new-client registration form. Before your first therapy session, you will know how much you will be responsible for, whether you will use your insurance or pay out of pocket.
