Insurance Information

As an out-of-network provider, I don't bill insurance companies directly. 

However, I can provide you with a monthly superbill (detailed receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

Many insurance plans offer reimbursement for out-of-network providers, which can make weekly therapy much more affordable.

If paying out of pocket feels out of reach, I encourage you to call your insurance company and ask about your out-of-network benefits for mental health.
