Rates & Insurance

For your protection and confidentiality, I recommend self-pay for therapy whenever possible. Insurance companies often require the disclosure of highly personal information, and I cannot guarantee the confidentiality and privacy of this information once it is shared with them. Additionally, insurance companies may limit the number of sessions you can have. Due to these concerns, I choose not to participate in insurance or managed care panels.

Fortunately, tax-advantaged programs may help you pay for therapy, even if you are self-employed. These include Medical Savings Accounts and Pre-Tax Flexible Spending Medical Accounts. Consult your accountant or Compensation and Benefits Administrator to determine if you qualify for these programs.

If you plan to use your insurance for therapy, please verify my approval as an out-of-network provider before our first session. To check your coverage, ask your insurance provider the following questions:

• Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
• What is my deductible, and has it been met?
• How many therapy sessions per year does my insurance cover?
• What is the coverage amount per therapy session for an out-of-network provider?
• Is approval required from my primary care physician?

If approved, you must pay me in full for each session. I will then provide the necessary documentation to file a claim with your insurance company. Be aware that this service is only available to Georgia residents.
