FEES AND INSURANCE

Therapy asks something of us. It takes time, attention, vulnerability, and yes—money. The fee you pay supports not only our time together, but the preparation, training, care, and ongoing professional development that make this work possible.

I recognize that the financial cost of therapy is significant. I aim to be transparent about fees and insurance so you can make an informed decision about whether working together is sustainable for you.

AVAILABILITY OF “GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE”

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
