Out-of-Network Insurance:
Check with your insurance company prior to first session. Pay for your session upfront. I’ll provide you with a Super Bill to submit to your insurance provider. You may qualify for reimbursement from them. Please note it is not my responsibility if you do not qualify for reimbursement.
-
Cash, Check, PayPal, Venmo, and HSA accepted.
My fee for a standard 55-minute session is $150. I offer a sliding scale for those who cannot afford this full amount. I do raise my fee every year to account for inflation but will provide you with 60 days notice prior to increasing this amount.
In addition to a sliding scale, I currently reserve 3 appointment slots for pro-bono and/or significantly reduced-rate clients.
*Please note that these slots are based on my availability and my discretion. There is no guarantee that I can provide a pro-bono slot to everyone who is interested.
No Surprises Act
-
The No Surprises Act is a federal law designed to protect clients from unexpected medical bills. It requires health care providers, including therapists, to give clear and upfront information about the expected cost of services.
-
A Good Faith Estimate is a written estimate of the expected costs for therapy services. It is provided to clients who are self-pay or who choose not to use insurance, so they can make informed decisions about their care.
-
You are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate if you do not have insurance or if you choose not to use your insurance for therapy services.
-
You will receive a Good Faith Estimate before starting therapy services, or you may request one at any time during treatment.
-
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 higher than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the charges through the federal Patient-Provider Dispute Resolution process.
-
No. The Good Faith Estimate is based on the services reasonably expected at the time it is provided. Because therapy is individualized, the total cost may change depending on the frequency, length, or duration of sessions.
-
Vermont residents may have additional consumer protections under state law. For more information about your rights, you may contact the Vermont Attorney General’s Office or the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation.
-
Yes—absolutely! I am committed to transparency and welcome questions about fees, billing, or Good Faith Estimates at any time.
FAQs

Building the clinical relationship is my top priority. If a client doesn’t feel a connection, it hinders the clinical process. It’s important that you trust me.
During our first session, we will go over your treatment forms to ensure all of the necessary information is provided. Please bring your insurance card with you (if you’re choosing to use insurance) and I will collect that information to submit to my biller for claim processing.
After we discuss the legal and ethical guidelines of therapy, we begin our work. I’ll ask you basic questions about who you are—who your supports are, what your hobbies are, what brings you to therapy, etc.. We won’t dive into anything too personal yet! You’ll have the opportunity to ask me questions, too. Some people like to know about my education or work experience.
Together we determine if we’re a good fit and if I’m the therapist who can help you reach your goals.
-
Together we come up with Treatment Plan. We decide on your goals and how we can achieve your goals in therapy.
Depending on your needs, we will choose one of the several evidence-based modalities that I’m trained in. Some clients prefer more structure and homework, while others prefer therapy as a space for supportive processing. Therapy is tailored to your needs. Remember that therapy is YOUR space and YOU are in charge! I can teach you new coping tools and encourage you to challenge your current perspective so that you’re able to live a more fulfilling life. I like to use psychoeducation along the way so you understand why we’re doing the work that we’re doing.
I can collaborate with your other providers, if you feel as though it is helpful to your treatment. I will never communicate with others unless you ask me to and I’ll also have you sign the appropriate release form.
We will work towards you no longer needing me—together, we will decide when you have met your goals.
If at any time you feel as though I’m not a good fit, I can support you in connecting with one of my colleagues instead!
