What can I expect in counseling?
Working with a counselor is like going to a physical therapist–it’s important for you to be actively involved in making wise efforts to change the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that bring you suffering. You’ll tell me what your goals are and what obstacles you face in achieving them, and I’ll use my knowledge, training, and expertise to help you make the changes you want to make! Practicing the new skills outside sessions is a fun part of the process too. This will help you learn new ways of looking at challenges that will help you experience life with greater ease and wellbeing.
What kind of services do you offer?
I offer confidential telehealth counseling services to all Texas and Florida residents. In addition, I offer consultation services on EMDR, meditation facilitation, and writing.
How much does therapy cost?
My regular rate for sessions is $175 for 55 minutes. Payment is due at the time services are rendered. My experience is that the money spent on effective therapy, counseling, or coaching is some of the very best money you will ever spend.
For Texas and Florida residents using their insurance: I am in network with Aetna, UHC/Optum, BCBS of Massachusetts, Carleon Behavioral Health, and Cigna. This is for individual psychotherapy only.
Everyone is welcome to receive a complimentary 15-minute discovery call prior to the start of services.
Verify your insurance benefits –>
Online therapy using a secure video platform HSA/FSA cards may be used for eligible therapy services. Private pay clients may request a superbill at the standard rate for potential out-of-network reimbursement; reimbursement is not guaranteed and is determined by your insurance plan.
Do you offer sliding scale rates?
I strive to make this work as accessible as possible. Reduced fee services are available for those who qualify. If you are experiencing financial hardship and believe you need a reduced rate, please reach out.
What is your cancellation policy?
For all appointments, I require a 48-hour notice when you cancel a session. Your appointment time is very valuable and is kept just for you, so please allow two business days when you need to reschedule.
For self-pay services, the late fee is the full fee of whatever service you have booked, and for those using insurance, it is $125.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes, psychotherapy is considered privileged communication, meaning it is private and confidential. There are exceptions to the privileged communication rule, and they are as follows: 1) report of child or elder abuse; 2) danger to self or others; and 3) if there is a court order.
What is the Good Faith Estimate?
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical 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 bill for medical items and services.
Please make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, please visit this website at www.cms.gov/nosurprises/consumers, email FederalPPDRQuestions@cms.hhs.gov, or call 1-800-985-3059.
