What services are offered?
Counseling can be an important step in helping someone manage current difficulties in life, or to overcome past hurts. When someone feels “stuck” in his or her situation, it can be very helpful to allow someone else to help explore different ways of thinking or to offer a fresh perspective. My counseling orientation incorporates principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused counseling, and Person-Centered counseling. I work from a trauma-informed perspective, recognizing the emotional, physical, and cognitive responses one experiences after going through upsetting and confusing events, and frequently utilize Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in my treatment. If desired, I can incorporate Christian faith and Biblical principles into the counseling process.
What does counseling cost?
Behavioral health or mental health is covered by most health insurance plans. I am in-network with several insurance plans. If I am in-network with your insurance carrier, I accept the insurer’s allowed amount (discounted rate) for services, and you will be responsible for the co-payment, co-insurance, and/or deductible according to your plan. Without insurance, the fees are as follows:
- Intake Evaluation (60 minutes): $175
- Individual therapy 30 (16-37 minutes): $100
- Individual therapy 45 (38-52 minutes): $140
- Individual therapy 60 (53-60 minutes): $170
- Couples or family therapy (50 minutes): $170
Please note that I am not a Medicaid provider. If you have Medicaid coverage that includes mental health services, I am not able to offer mental health services to you.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.How do I get started?
You may call or email me if you have questions or would like more information, and/or are ready to schedule an appointment. You may leave a message at any time, and I will respond during business hours, Monday-Friday, 9-5.
