Therapist's note

I'm an out-of-network (OON) provider with insurance companies (if your commercial insurance plan covers OON, I can provide you with a fancy receipt called a "Superbill", and then your insurance company will reimburse you based on your plan's policy).

If you need a list of questions to ask your insurance company about OON benefits, please let me know (I'm happy to send you a pdf of questions, and then we can circle back around to discuss)!

I also have a few spots available at discounted rates. If you're interested in working with me but need a reduced rate for therapy, please don't hesitate to reach out and let me know. I'm happy to chat with you!
