*Reduced fee slots may be available. I prioritize these spots for folks who are most impacted by systemic oppression and financial hardship. These slots are limited and intended to support individuals for whom the standard rate is a barrier to care.
Using Your Insurance
I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill your insurance directly, but that doesn’t always mean therapy won’t be covered.
If you have a PPO plan, you might have something called out-of-network benefits. These are insurance perks that help cover part of the cost when you see a therapist who isn’t in your insurance network (like me).
*Many employers offer an employee benefit of a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), which offers significant pre-tax savings on healthcare like therapy. Using this option can significantly reduce the financial impact of therapy costs.
Here’s How It Works
You pay me directly for each session.
I give you something called a superbill - a special receipt with all the info your insurance needs
You send that to your insurance company (some have apps or online forms to make this easy)
If your plan covers out-of-network therapy, they’ll send you a reimbursement check in a few weeks
Most clients who use OON benefits get 50–80% of each session fee back after they meet their deductible. Every plan is different, though, so it’s a good idea to call your insurance and ask:
Do I have out-of-network benefits for mental health?
What’s my deductible, and have I met it yet?
What percentage will I get back per session?
If you're not sure where to start, I’m happy to guide you through it. I know it can feel confusing, but it’s more doable than it sounds.
I also partner with Mentaya, a service that streamlines getting reimbursed for therapy sessions through out-of-network benefits.
Mentaya is great if you:
Have out of network benefits
Feel overwhelmed by superbills and insurance
Have submitted superbills, but failed to get any reimbursement
Simply want to skip the hassle of paperwork!
Good Faith Estimate Notice
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, healthcare providers and healthcare facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal healthcare program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, healthcare 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.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your healthcare 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.
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.
