Investing In Yourself, Your Well-Being, And Your Life Moving Forward.
When you invest in this work, I make a commitment to you: to prioritize you and our work together. I care not only about what work we do together, but also how we do that work: together as a team, creating something uniquely yours that allows you to make sense of it all and to move forward in your life with clarity, meaning, and fulfillment.
The women I work with ultimately choose to commit to themselves and invest in themselves. They adjust their budget accordingly, they take vulnerable and bold steps forward, and they end up grateful to themselves that they did. I welcome you to join them.
Therapy Is An Investment Of:
Time
My clients and I start by scheduling appointments typically weekly, sometimes every-other week. Because of how meaningful they find this work, many of my clients end up transitioning to monthly appointments on a long-term, ongoing basis, as a way to continue caring for themselves.
Energy
One of my favorite things clients often tell me is how much they look forward to their sessions. It makes me so happy, because I do, too! Here’s the deal: as much energy as you’re willing to put into your work, I am willing to invest the same. We’re in this together.
Financial Resources
Yes, therapy is expensive (sigh). But the thing is: if you’ve found your right therapist, it’s so worthwhile. Because the rewards you gain from working with your right therapist really are priceless. It’s corny, and it’s true.
Financial Investment
The fee for each 50 minute therapy session is $180.
My rate allows me to do my best work with and for you. It ensures I can keep a small-enough caseload, so you and I can cultivate a deeply personal working relationship with each other. My rate also supports all the work I do outside of session that helps me be a better therapist for you during our time together.
Insurance
In short, I do not accept insurance because it allows my clients and me to do better work together. Here’s how:
Focus on What Matters
Rather than excessive (and arbitrary) administrative burden monopolizing my time outside of session, I’m able to invest more of my energy on the clinical matters that actually benefit my clients. It matters that I’m better able to focus on you and on our work together – after all, that’s what we’re here for.
Individualized Care
Insurance companies pay therapists as little as they can, which then requires therapists to see WAY too many clients. By being out-of-network, I am able to prioritize keeping a small caseload, which allows me to do my best work with and for you. You deserve thoughtful, attentive, and personalized care that is individualized to you and your unique needs and goals.
Autonomy
We, as a team, have full control over the work you do in therapy. You get to decide what you want to work on, and we get to decide together how we work on that. You alone get to decide how long you stay in therapy. Insurance doesn’t get to place any limitations on your work in therapy in order to prioritize their profits over your well-being.
Privacy
You have greater privacy with your confidential information. No sensitive, personal information is required to be shared with your insurance company (for the sole purpose of them denying you coverage of services). Additionally, no mental health diagnosis is required to “qualify” for therapy and be submitted to your insurance company.
Options To Help With The Cost
- I accept FSA and HSA cards. You can use pre-tax dollars through your Health Savings or Flexible Savings Account to pay for therapy.
- We can discuss the frequency of your appointments. When first starting therapy, it is helpful to schedule weekly sessions in order for us to find our groove in our work together and get the most momentum built toward your goals. Most clients begin with weekly and then transition to every-other week. However, if twice-monthly sessions would fit better within your budget, we can absolutely discuss whether every-other week appointments are appropriate for you from the start of services.
Good Faith Estimate
In compliance with the No Surprises Act that went into effect January 1, 2022, all healthcare providers are required to notify clients of their Federal rights and protections against “surprise billing.” This Act requires that I notify you of your federally protected rights to receive a notification when services are rendered by an out-of-network provider, if a client is uninsured, or if a client elects not to use their insurance.
