Fees and Insurance
Session Fees
Fees will be discussed during our initial phone consultation. I offer sliding scale treatment on a limited basis for those in need.
Insurance Coverage
In-Network Insurance:
I currently accept Cigna and Evernorth as an in-network provider.
Understanding Your In-Network Benefits
To learn about your coverage, locate the Member Services number on your insurance card and ask:
Out-of-Network Insurance:
If you have out-of-network benefits, here are helpful questions to ask your insurance provider:
Simplified Reimbursement Process
For your convenience, I can submit out-of-network claims electronically and have reimbursement sent directly to you. If you would like this service, please ask your insurance provider for your Electronic Payer ID, which I'll need to submit your claims.
Payment Options
I accept cash, checks, credit cards, and HSA/FSA payments. For credit card processing, I use Ivy Pay, a HIPAA-compliant mobile payment system.
Cancellation Policy
Consistency and regularity are foundational elements of effective therapy.
If you miss a scheduled therapy appointment without providing at least 48 hours' advance notice, you will be responsible for the full session fee. This policy reflects both the value of our time together and the importance of maintaining the rhythm and frame of our therapeutic work.
Good Faith Estimate Notice
As of January 1st, 2022, you have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your mental health care will cost. Under law, health care providers must give patients who don't have insurance or who aren't using insurance an estimate of expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy. You can request a Good Faith Estimate from any health care provider before scheduling 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 about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises, dfs.ny.gov, or call (800) 985-3059.

Understanding Your In-Network Benefits
To learn about your coverage, locate the Member Services number on your insurance card and ask:
- Do I have mental health coverage?

- Will I pay a copay or co-insurance, and how much per session?
- How many therapy sessions per year does my plan cover?
- Do I need pre-approval for mental health services?
Out-of-Network Insurance:
If you have out-of-network benefits, here are helpful questions to ask your insurance provider:
- What percentage am I reimbursed for routine behavioral health care out-of-network?
- What is my out-of-network deductible? (This may be listed on your card)
- How much of this deductible have I already met?
- Is there an "allowable amount" for behavioral healthcare, and what is that amount?
