Fees and Insurance
Investing in Your Mental Health
Most people who find their way here have already tried the faster versions of this. Skills, strategies, a few months of something structured. Often usefu, and then the pattern comes back.
This work moves differently because it's looking somewhere else: not at what you're feeling this week, but at where it started and what it's been protecting. That takes longer. For people who've been coping capably for years, it also tends to be the layer where something finally gives.
The fee reflects that pace. If it's a stretch, it's worth asking about out-of-network reimbursement before ruling it out, many plans cover a meaningful portion.
Using Your Out-Of Network Benefits
Most PPO plans include out-of-network (OON) mental health benefits, meaning your insurance reimburses you directly for a portion of what you pay me. I handle the paperwork: I submit a superbill directly to your insurance company on your behalf, so there's nothing for you to track or file yourself.
Here's roughly how it can work: if your plan reimburses 60–80% of the session fee after your deductible is met, a $260 session might end up costing closer to $50–$100 out of pocket. Every plan is different, so before our first session I recommend calling the number on the back of your insurance card and asking:
Do I have out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health / psychotherapy?
Do I have an out-of-network deductible, and has any of it been met this year?
What percentage of the session fee is reimbursed once my deductible is met?
Is there a limit on the number of sessions covered per year?
If you're not sure how to read the answers, I'm happy to walk through it with you on our free consultation call.
Session Fee
The fee for a 50-minute individual session is $260. I accept payment by major credit card or HSA/FSA card.
