Do you accept insurance?

I do not accept insurance. If you have out-of-network benefits you can submit my superbill with the necessary codes and diagnoses for reimbursement to you. I do not contact insurance companies directly.

Please contact your insurance provider to find out about rates of reimbursement, your deductible, and, seeing an “out of network” psychologist. Ask about the following behavioral health CPT code reimbursement rates: 90791 (intake), 90837 (60-minute individual) and 90846 and 90847 (family/parenting). Also ask about the number of certified visits allowed by your insurance provider.

 

What should I expect from our first session?

Prior to our first appointment we will schedule a brief courtesy phone call or zoom visit. This will give us a chance to get to know each other a bit. I’ll be interested in getting an idea of your needs and reasons for seeking treatment. Then I’ll email you an intake packet, consent form, and some questionnaires. Once those are completed and returned, we’ll schedule our first appointment.

During the first appointment, I’ll have a lot of questions for you.  Come prepared with questions for me! We will have an exchange of information. Your history, goals for treatment and current concerns will be important to discuss.
