You do have the option to utilize your insurance in our work together. If you choose this option you would be seeking out-of-network benefits for our sessions. This typically is done by submitting what's called a "Superbill" to your insurance and is fairly easily to navigate. When using your insurance in an out-of-network instance, your sessions would be charged directly to you at the time of our appointment. After submitting a Superbill your insurance may reimburse you directly for a portion of the cost based on your plan's coverage for therapy/mental health counseling. Superbills are emailed to clients on a monthly basis. During our phone consult or initial intake I am more than happy to discuss this option with you and help you as best as I can regarding navigating the out-of-network benefits process. Exact amount of reimbursement will depend upon your insurance carrier and plan for out-of-network provider coverage. In all instances I encourage you to discuss this directly with your carrier. I accept both cash and/or credit card. Additionally, many HSA/FSA cards are approved to be used for mental health counseling and are acceptable forms of payment. Please confirm with your carrier/plan. Receipts are available upon request. If you feel it would be more helpful to discuss this over the phone, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Please contact your benefits coordinator/health insurance plan directly to gather more details around your out-of-network coverage for mental health services. The following questions may be helpful in your discussion with your insurance carrier: 1) Do I have out-of-network benefits for mental health services both in-person and telehealth? 2) What is my annual deductible? Has my annual deductible been met? 3) How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover? 4) How much does my insurance plan reimburse for an out-of-network provider for the following CPT codes: 90837, 90791, and 90834? 5) Do I need a referral and/or approval from my PCP?

Sessions range from 45-55 minutes in length. I find that weekly sessions provide the most benefit and room for growth for my clients. I do request that the first four sessions are conducted weekly to establish a relationship, build rapport, explore your history, and develop a foundation for successful healing and growth. That being said, I always work with people where they are at and frequency of sessions (weekly, bi-weekly) will be determined collaboratively during the initial intake appointment and are subject to change as the counseling relationship is established and needs are identified and understood more clearly.

I offer the option of both in-person or Telehealth appointments based upon your needs/preferences.

Please treat any Telehealth appointment as though you would treat an in-person appointment. That means if you are not in New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, or Florida at the time of our appointment, please reschedule. Unfortunately, state licensures limits my ability to practice in any other state than the one(s) that I am licensed to practice in (NH and MA in-person/telehealth, as well as telehealth-only in VT and FL). Luckily, as I offer Telehealth, if you live in NH but far from my office you are still welcome to see me virtually.
