Don't see your plan? I can provide a superbill. This is a detailed invoice you submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. Many PPO plans cover a portion of out-of-network therapy; a quick call to your insurer will tell you what your benefits look like.
Private pay rates
50-minute individual session — $175
80-minute individual session — $260
Extended 80-minute sessions work well for EMDR and Brainspotting, where the longer window lets us go deeper without rushing the close.
Other Questions

Send me a message through the contact page with a bit about what's bringing you in, and I'll follow up to get you scheduled. I'll also send you access to TherapyNotes, the secure patient portal where you'll complete intake forms and find your telehealth link. Please finish the intake paperwork before our first session.
-
The first session gives us time to get to know each other and start mapping out what you want therapy to help you with. I'll ask about what's bringing you in and a bit of your history, and you'll have space to ask anything you want about how I work. You'll join the session through your TherapyNotes account, which you set up during intake.

Sessions are shaped around what you need that week. We usually start with a check in on how things have been since we last met, then move into whatever's most pressing. This can be current concerns, progress on your goals, or practicing the skills we've been working on. When we're doing EMDR or Brainspotting, the structure shifts to make room for that work.
-
Please let me know as soon as you can. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice, and no-shows, are billed at $75.
-
It depends on your goals and what we're working on. Some people feel meaningful relief within a handful of sessions; others stay longer for deeper or more layered work. We'll talk openly about progress and pacing so you always know where things stand.
-
Yes. Everything you share in session is confidential and stored in a HIPAA compliant medical record system. The exceptions are narrow and required by law: if you or someone else is in immediate danger, or in cases involving the abuse of a child, elder, or dependent adult. I'll always tell you if I need to step outside of confidentiality.

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of what your care will cost. If you're uninsured or choosing not to use insurance, you're entitled to a written estimate of the expected total cost of non-emergency services. If you receive a bill that's at least $400 more than your estimate, you have the right to dispute the charge. You can request a Good Faith Estimate any time before scheduling.
