Therapist's note

I offer a sliding scale fee to make therapy more accessible. My fees generally range from $175.00 to $250.00 per session, depending on your financial situation. We will discuss and agree on the fee during our first session. If you have insurance, you may be able to use your out-of-network benefits, as some insurance companies may reimburse between 50-80% of the practitioner fee, though this can vary. I also work with United Behavioral Health for those utilizing insurance.
