+Do you take insurance?

Currently, I do not accept insurance. Let me take a moment to explain why.

I understand that having health insurance can be important when you have medical issues and expenses. However, I strongly encourage you to consider the long-term implications before using your insurance for your therapy sessions. Using medical insurance for therapy has some risks involved. In order to use your medical insurance for therapy, you must be given a mental disorder diagnosis, and that diagnosis will become a part of your permanent medical record. Having a mental diagnosis on your record may carry long-term implications and may hinder your ability to obtain life insurance, disability or health insurance in the future. Additionally, filing an insurance claim means your diagnosis, dates of service, etc., are no longer totally confidential, and your insurance company will be aware of your treatment and diagnosis.

I want you to be fully informed of these risks and implications before you make a decision to use your insurance for therapy.

For individuals who completely understand the risks involved with being given a mental diagnosis, and who still want to use their insurance for therapy, I can provide a statement for you to submit to your insurance provider reimbursement.

All services are $150 (per 50-minute session)
