50 Minute Session = $200

Therapy is expensive.  It's more accurate & useful to understand therapy as an investment rather than an expense.

Effective, professional help can get you back your life & create your new normal.  The value of the potential benefits of therapy is enormous.  At the same time, the cost of staying stuck is also enormous, emotionally, financially & in your relationships.

There are no guarantees in therapy and a lot of the growth is dependent on how you make use of our work but I can promise you that I will value your time and your investment so you get the most out of this treatment as possible.

Late cancellation fees are an unfortunate necessity.

If a cancellation is 2 days prior to an appointment the charge is $75
If a cancellation is 1 day prior to an appointment the charge is the fee for the session.

More info on the sickness cancellation policy here.

Please note that your insurance will not reimburse payment for missed meetings or late cancellations.

Yup, I do.  What you likely want to know though is if I am "in-network" with your insurance.  I know, it shouldn't be this complicated but this is how it is these days with medical insurance.

In-network means I have a contract with your insurance and you likely have a copay after a deductible is met.

Out-of-network means that, if you have coverage for out-of-network providers, your insurance will reimburse you a percentage of the fee.

I am out-of-network for all insurances besides Pacific Source (the private version, unfortunately not OHP).

If you have insurance but don't know your out-of-network benefits I would recommend giving your insurance a call and asking them the specific questions outlined in the box below.

Regence/Blue Cross/Blue Shield - many of my clients have this insurance and are able to use out-of-network coverage to work with me.

HSA plan - yes, you can use your HSA.  Psychotherapy is an accepted expense.

If you are not clear on your insurance benefits you can call your insurance company and ask them:

“Please explain the difference in my benefits for in-network and  out-of-network mental health.”

Make sure you get the following information addressed…

• What are my in-network and my out-of-network benefits for mental health?
• What is the amount of my deductible, how much of it have I met already
• Do I have separate deductibles for my in-network and my out-of-network benefits?
• Do I need pre-authorization for in-network or out-of-network providers?

If you call, ask the questions outlined above & they might want more info from you, then I've got you covered - here's all the info they could potentially ask you.

My NPI # is 192 231 6793

CPT or Procedure Codes - 90791 for the intake session, 90834 for sessions thereafter

They might want a diagnosis code.  Of course, I can't give you a diagnosis before we do the intake session but here are common diagnoses you can use...

F43.20 Adjustment disorder
F33.9 Major Depressive disorder
F41.1 Generalized Anxiety Disorder
F40.11 - Social phobia
F51.01 Primary Insomnia

Simple Answer:
Nope.

Full Answer:
I can't make any guarantees what any insurance company will do but even when insurance plans require a referral to see a specialist I have never seen any require a referral for therapy.
