FEES AND INSURANCE
Therapy asks something of us. It takes time, attention, vulnerability, and yes—money. I recognize that the financial cost of therapy is a significant investment in your mental health and well-being. I offer a sliding scale with three fee options to make individual therapy more financially accessible while supporting the sustainability of my practice.

I invite clients to consider their financial circumstances and choose a rate that represents a significant yet sustainable investment in their therapeutic work. All clients receive the same quality of care, regardless of the fee they pay.
Standard Rate — $250: For those who can afford the full fee.
Supported Rate* — $200: For those for whom the full fee would create a financial strain.
Reduced Rate* — $150: For those experiencing significant financial constraints.
*Supported and Reduced rates are limited and subject to availability. Prospective clients are encouraged to inquire about current openings at these rates. If even the reduced rate presents a financial barrier, please reach out. I'd be happy to explore what's possible.

I don’t accept insurance directly, but you may be able to use HSA or FSA funds toward the cost of therapy. If you meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis, I can also provide a monthly superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Coverage varies quite a bit, so it’s worth checking with your plan to see what your out-of-network mental health benefits include.
I’ve chosen not to participate directly with insurance so that therapy can stay centered on you rather than on the requirements of an insurance company. Insurance often requires a diagnosis and may shape what kinds of care are considered medically necessary. Working out of network gives us more room to follow the pace, depth, and direction of the work in a way that feels clinically meaningful, while also protecting more of your privacy and choice.

KAP sessions are billed at your regular therapy rate based on the length of the session. For example, at my full fee, a 3-hour KAP session is $750.
HSA/FSA funds and insurance reimbursement can’t be used for the ketamine-assisted sessions themselves. Preparation and integration sessions, however, are standard 50-minute psychotherapy sessions and may be eligible in the same way as other therapy sessions.
There may also be a separate cost for the medical evaluation and ketamine prescription, depending on the prescribing provider.

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.
