Free Consultation

Time: 15 Minutes

Cost: FREE

This consultation is entirely Free. This is a moment where we discuss what brings you to therapy and goals and check to see if we are a good match.

Insurance & Reimbursements

I currently accept these insurances: Aetna & Harvard Pilgram. For all other insurances, you may have out-of-network benefits, which means that insurance will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you will only have to pay a copay for our sessions, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This typically allows clients to save on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your co-insurance would be.
‍

If you have a Blue Cross Blue Shield Plan, you will have to pay my full fee and will receive a paper check reimbursement in a few weeks.

    Reach out to your insurance company. Here are some questions to consider asking your insurance company:

    1. Do I have out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health services? Is telehealth covered?

    2. How much of the fee is reimbursed for out-of-network providers?

    3. How long will it take to be reimbursed for sessions after I have submitted my claims?

    4. How many sessions per year are covered?

    5. How do I submit my superbill for reimbursement?

    6. Is approval required from my primary care physician?

    Good Faith Estimate

    Under the law, A Good Faith estimate is required for mental health professionals who provide services to people who are uninsured or people who are insured but have opted to not use their insurance benefits for healthcare services.

    You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.

    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.

    Should 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 or call ​800-985-3059.

  • I do have some slide-scale spots open at this time.

    I utilize the Green Bottle Method with reduced rates ranging $100-$150. Please reach out for more information.

    If you are looking for this as an option, and I don’t have any availability, I recommend looking into Open Path for low-cost options or connecting with your insurance company for therapist referrals.

  • All sessions are virtual. So as long as you live in the state of Massachusetts, we can meet anywhere you deem a safe, confidential space via tele-health.

  • We will start off weekly. Why? Well, research shows that clients reach out when their symptoms are the most acute. In addition, research shows that weekly sessions actually offer the most effective treatment and consistent results. We will continue at this pace until coping strategies have been established.

    After this, we can discuss biweekly or monthly as a form of maintenance and reevaluate as needed.

  • I start the session by checking in with you about your past week, and/or reviewing if you were able to use any tools discussed.

    Then we focus on what has been taking up space in your mind during the week.

    Challenging emotions may come up and even tears. Thats what the space is for and crying can be healing and therapeutic.

    The therapeutic space will be tailored to help you with your identified goals as well as processing and understanding emotions. There are times were something else may take the focus during the session and that’s okay. In addition, there may be moments of venting that are also okay.

    While there is a space for venting in a therapeutic space, it’s important that we do not stay there and come back to our therapeutic goals and learned tools. If this is not a style that you are looking for, then we may not be a good fit for working together.

  • Clients are required to provide 48 hours’ notice if they need to cancel and/or reschedule. Providing less than 48 hours notice or not showing an appointment will result in the client’s responsibility for the fee of $110. The fee is $175 for any no shows. Fee is waived if you are able to reschedule within the same week.

    The fee will be charged on the day of the missed appointment
