  • Consultation

    Before beginning therapy, all prospective clients are invited to schedule a complimentary consultation. This initial conversation gives us an opportunity to connect, discuss what brings you to therapy, and explore whether we are a good fit for working together. It also provides space for you to ask questions and learn more about my approach to therapy.

    Consultations are free and scheduled for 15 minutes.

  • Intake Assessment

    After your consultation, we will begin with an intake assessment session. This initial session allows us to get to know one another, discuss your history and current concerns, and identify goals that reflect what is most important to you. Together, we will create a personalized therapy plan with goals that are realistic, meaningful, and supportive of your growth and well-being.

    Intake assessments are scheduled for 60 minutes to ensure there is ample time to thoroughly explore your needs and answer any questions you may have.

    Ongoing Therapy Sessions: Sessions are offered virtually in one-on-one, 50-minute appointments.

    Weekday sessions are available, including evening hours for flexible scheduling. Clients may choose either weekly or biweekly sessions.

    I currently accept adult clients (18+) residing in: DC, New York, Virginia, Vermont, and Utah.

    Sessions are tailored to each client’s individual needs using a collaborative and supportive approach.

    Out-of-Network Benefits

    Fees

    • Intake Assessment: $250
      60-Minute Therapy Session: $200

    If you use out-of-network benefits, the full session fee is due at the time of service. You may then submit a claim to your insurance provider for partial reimbursement.

    A superbill can be provided to support reimbursement requests.

    Most clients receive 50–80% reimbursement after meeting their deductible, depending on their insurance plan.

    📞 Before Starting Therapy

    I recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to verify your behavioral health benefits, eligibility, deductible, copayment, and any referral requirements prior to your first appointment.

    Please contact the Member Services number on the back of your insurance card and ask:

    □ Do I have out-of-network mental health or behavioral health coverage?
    □ What is my out-of-network deductible?
    □ What percentage of psychotherapy costs are reimbursed?
    □ How many therapy sessions are covered each year?
    □ What is the process for submitting claims?
    □ Are telehealth appointments covered?
    □ Is a special modifier required for telehealth reimbursement?

    Good Faith Estimate

    Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) explaining the expected cost of your care if you:

    • Do not have insurance, or

    • Choose not to use your insurance benefits

    A Good Faith Estimate helps you understand the anticipated costs of treatment before services begin.

    • Out of mutual respect, appointments are scheduled in advance to ensure we have dedicated time to meet for sessions. If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please communicate as soon as possible.

    • If you are unable to keep an appointment, 24 hours advance notice is required or you will be charged for the full fee amount of the canceled or missed appointment by credit card.
