If you want to understand the influences and patterns that have led you to where you are, and make changes to get you to who and how you want to BE, let’s talk about it in a brief consultation to find out how we can do exactly that.

75-90 minute extended discussion

by online videoconference

If we decide in the brief consultation that we are a good fit for working together, we’ll schedule a 75-90 minute initial assessment to more fully understand your current concerns and goals for therapy.  This meeting will also include the establishment of an initial treatment plan.

I am an in-network provider with the following insurance companies:

• Blue Cross/Blue Shield
• Aetna (including Aetna Student Health)

If you want to use your insurance benefits*, I will verify your mental health coverage prior to our first session. To do so, I will need the following information:

• Your insurance company name
• Customer Service number on the back of the card
• Your Member and Group IDs
• Your (and the subscriber’s) birthday

*Please note that benefits are an agreement between you and your insurance company. I cannot guarantee any insurance coverage or reimbursement. If you have eligibility concerns or questions, you should contact your insurance provider directly.

I am an out-of-network provider with other insurance companies.

Many clients are able to utilize their out-of-network benefits for counseling services and get reimbursed by their insurance company. I will provide you with a copy of a superbill, which you can submit for possible reimbursement. If you have access to HRA/FSA/HAS funds, I accept those funds as forms of payment.

I encourage you to verify your out-of-network benefits prior to your session. You can download Verification of Insurance Benefits form and use it to get the necessary information from your insurance company.
