Getting started:
I believe that a good fit between a therapist and client is paramount to effective treatment. To that end, I provide a free, 15-minute phone consultation to learn more about your reasons for seeking treatment, as well as introduce you to my approach and answer any questions you might have. After this initial phone consultation, if you would like to move forward with treatment, we will schedule a 90-minute intake assessment. This will include gathering background information, learning about your current concerns, and a diagnostic assessment. Following this meeting, we will collaboratively discuss next steps, including outlining a preliminary treatment plan and beginning to identify treatment goals.
A note on insurance:
I am considered an out of network provider. This means that I do not bill insurance and collect payment at time of service. Depending on your insurance company’s out of network coverage, you may be able to receive some reimbursement of our sessions. I will provide you with a monthly Superbill to submit to your insurer to claim reimbursement which includes the service(s) provided, CPT code, location of service provided, diagnostic code, fee, and date(s) of service.
If you want to check in advance and see if your insurance company provides coverage for therapy with an out-of-network provider, here are a few of the procedure codes they will need to know:
Individual session (50 minutes): 98034
Individual session with a family member: 90847
Diagnostic evaluation: 90791
