I am an out-of-network provider for many insurance companies.
If you have a private insurance provider, there is a good chance that your insurance will provide some compensation for out-of-network providers.
If you want to use your out-of-network benefits, I'd be happy to provide you with a statement (superbill), that you can submit to your insurance company to seek reimbursement of fees already paid.
I recommend contacting your insurance company to determine your coverage for out-of-network reimbursement.
Many of my clients use their Health Savings Accounts and/or out of network reimbursement to pay for therapy.Please note for couples therapy, you will specifically need to verify that your insurance company will reimburse for diagnosis code Z63.0, which is the diagnosis code we use for all couples therapy.

Late Cancellation is defined within 24 hours of your session at the time your session is scheduled to begin. Any late cancellations or no-shows will result in full fee payment for the missed session. If an unavoidable conflict or emergency arises and we are both able to reschedule within the same week (Monday to Thursday), the cancellation fee will be waived.
-
Sessions are 50 minutes. If you are interested in a longer session (75 minutes) please contact me regarding availability and pricing.

To begin, we will meet once a week. When we start meeting there is a lot of ground to cover. I find it’s important to gain some momentum in the beginning by meeting weekly. Once some or all of your goals are met, meeting less often will make sense.
