Psychotherapy Fees and Insurance

I offer a complimentary initial consultation so we can meet, discuss your needs, and determine whether working together feels like a good fit. This first meeting is an opportunity to ask questions, explore your goals for therapy, and learn more about my approach. If you decide to continue with psychotherapy or couples counseling, I will review my current fees with you in a clear and transparent way before beginning ongoing treatment.

My private practice is structured to provide high-quality, individualized care, and my fees reflect the depth-oriented and specialized nature of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I currently accept Aetna insurance. For patients with other insurance plans, I am available as an out-of-network PPO provider. I can provide detailed monthly statements (superbills) that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Many clients also choose to use Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Accounts (HSA) to help offset the cost of therapy.

If you plan to use out-of-network benefits, I encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly to better understand your coverage, reimbursement rates, and any deductible requirements. I am also happy to help guide you through this process so you can make informed decisions about your care.

In accordance with federal regulations under the No Surprises Act, health care providers are required to provide a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges for patients who are uninsured or who choose not to use insurance. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate outlining the anticipated cost of your psychotherapy services before scheduling, as well as at any point during treatment.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the charge. It is important to keep a copy of your estimate for your records. For additional information about your rights or the dispute process, you can visit cms.gov/nosurprises.
