What is teletherapy?
Teletherapy refers to therapy that is provided via a secure video connection. Teletherapy allows you to participate in your therapy sessions from the comfort of your own home or any private space where you have access to the internet and a computer or phone. All sessions are conducted through a convenient and secure online video platform that is free for client’s use.
Convenience! Picture yourself finishing up an exhausting day of work, putting on your most comfy clothes, and cozying up with a blanket. Instead of battling the traffic to and from home, or braving the outside world and it’s elements, you cozy up in your chair, open your laptop, and enter the waiting room for your online teletherapy session. Sounds nice, right?
My fees for individual sessions range between $185-$200 (depending on feasibility) per 50 minute session. My fees for couple sessions range from $225-$250 (depending on feasibility) per 50 minute session. Couples may be seen for a longer session when clinically appropriate. Prepare/Enrich sessions are $200 per session.
I do not contract with insurance companies but I am able to provide something called a “superbill.” You can submit it to your insurance company after sessions for partial reimbursement if you have a PPO plan. PPO plans typically reimburse a minimum of 50% of the fee. You are responsible for paying for sessions up front and submitting the paperwork that I give you. Please call your insurance provider before we meet to verify what their reimbursement policy is for “out-of-network” providers and to find out where to send the form.
Harm Reduction is a set of practical strategies aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with drug use. It’s an approach to working with substance use that uses a non-dogmatic and non-judgmental perspective. It accepts that substance users do not necessarily need to eliminate the consumption of substances in order to reduce the negative consequences that can come from using drugs and alcohol. In therapy, you will be able to identify and navigate through the feelings associated with your drug and alcohol use and learn how to manage your substance use by identifying what you want – and what you don’t want – from your relationship with it.
Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is a term coined by psychologist, researcher, and HSP herself, Elaine Aron. According to Aron’s theory, HSPs are a subset of the population who are high in a personality trait known as sensory-processing sensitivity, or SPS. Those with high levels of SPS display increased emotional sensitivity, stronger reactivity to stimuli, both external and internal, as well as a full and complex inner life. Many HSPs describe being told they are too sensitive, overreacting, and were not validated or celebrated for their full selves. Maybe they are often told to “stop crying,” ”suck it up,” or “just calm down.” If this sounds like you, I really believe you deserve to be seen as your full and entire self, and celebrated for the strengths that this trait provides.

Good Faith Notice to All Clients

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, healthcare 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 healthcare 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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
