FEES
My rate is $275 per session. Payment is expected at the time of your appointment. I accept Venmo, Paypal, and Zelle.
INSURANCE
I do not accept insurance at this time. If you have out-of-network behavioral health coverage, your insurance may reimburse you for psychotherapy. Each insurance plan is different and I encourage you to review your plan's coverage, but many will reimburse at rates of 50-80% once a deductible has been reached. I will provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Your privacy and right to confidentiality are protected by the law and the American Psychological Association's Code of Ethics. Information about you or your treatment cannot be disclosed without your consent, except in a few rare cases. I am required by law to inform legal authorities and/or potential victims 1) if you make a serious threat to harm yourself or another person, 2) if I believe that a child, older adult, or other dependent person has been/will be abused or neglected, 3) if I am ordered by a court to release information as part of a legal proceeding.
NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES AND OFFICE POLICIES
I am required by law to provide you with a copy of the HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices so you can understand your rights and protections related to the use and disclosure of your identifiable health care information. A Notice of Privacy Practices and a Treatment Agreement Form, which explains my office procedures and includes important information about your confidentiality, will be provided to you at our initial appointment.
In Case of a Psychiatric Emergency
