Intake

Contact me to schedule a free phone call consultation. From there I can determine if my services may be the right fit for you. You will then receive an email containing forms for you to fill out before our first intake appointment. During the intake we will discuss any struggles you and your family are experiencing. Once all information has been gathered, goals will be created and discussed with the family. Upon approval of the goals, treatment will initiate. 

Services will be provided via telehealth and/or in-person based on client's needs. 

Frequency of sessions usually start as weekly, then based on progress/needs, may increase or decrease. Any changes in hours will be discussed with family before being confirmed and scheduled. 

Sessions are generally 50 minutes long. Shorter or longer sessions may be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance and will be prorated accordingly. 

Intake sessions, training/education session, indirect work (i.e. Report/Goal writing, phone/email consultations); 

50-minutes, $100 

Travel Time*, 60-minutes, $125

*All services lasting longer than 10-minutes will be billed and prorated accordingly

I am an out-of-network provider and do not directly bill your insurance. All services must be paid for at the time of the appointment. 

Being private pay helps open more doors for you as a client. A diagnosis is not needed to receive my services. Behavioral services can help anyone. 

Many clients choose to seek reimbursement through their insurance company. Reimbursement varies and depends on your out-of-network benefits. If you choose this route, I will provide you with a superbill that you may choose to send to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Call the number on your child’s insurance card to determine your out-of-network services. Here are some questions you might want to ask:

• What are my out-of-network benefits for outpatient behavioral health services?
• What is my deductible? How much of my deductible has been met this year?
• Do I need a referral from an in-network provider to see someone out-of-network?
• Are there limits to the total number of sessions per calendar year?
• Are there limits to the total amount reimbursed per session (e.g., what is my “allowable amount”)?

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.  You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. 

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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 or call (800) 985-3059.
