The no B.S. info you need

I’ll get right to it: my practice isn’t in network with any insurance plans. Instead of billing your insurance directly and collecting your copay, I provide the information and assistance you need to maximize available insurance benefits while being able to work with a therapist who really gets your teen. There are a lot of reasons to be an OON provider, most of which you probably don’t care about. Here’s what you need to know: clients who work with me pay up front for the cost of therapy and get reimbursed through their insurance company using OON benefits. If you don’t have OON benefits, you’re responsible for all of the costs.

I’ve been to the grocery store recently, so I know that paying for therapy out of pocket is no small ask. But here’s the deal—the type of deep, impactful, life-changing work that goes beyond surface level, symptom management that I do with teens isn’t cheap. Insurance offers poor reimbursement rates, gets in the middle of your kid’s treatment, mandates session limits, and compromises privacy. I won’t participate in a system that sees your kid as grist for the mill instead of caring about their wellbeing.

I believe that all teens deserve access to quality, specialized care. While my solo private practice can’t solve large scale, systemic problems in the insurance landscape, accessibility is a core value of my practice. For this reason, I use a universal, sliding scale policy with a choose your own rate feature. Translation: you have options to choose a fee that works for you and your budget.

Equitable Rates

Everyone’s budget is different and income is only part of the story. Your income, expenses, savings, and ability to pay are none of my business. You know your family’s resources better than I do. I ask that you take your ability to pay into consideration and choose one of the rates below to pay for therapy. No questions, no hassle, no income verifications. The rate is yours so long as your teen is in treatment*.

  • Tier 1: $135 per session (minimum fee)

  • Tier 2: $150 per session

  • Tier 3: $175 per session

  • Tier 4: $200 per session (full fee)

Tiered rates are available for clients who attend weekly or bi-weekly sessions. All clients who attend monthly or as-needed are charged the tier 4 rate.

*Rates increase each year to reflect additional expertise and training and increases in operating expenses.

Concierge Out-Of-Network Billing

Because therapy should fill your teen’s cup without draining your wallet.

  • Not sure if you have OON benefits and would rather eat glass than call the number on the back of your insurance card? I can save you some hassle. Use the benefits check form below to verify coverage, see if you have a deductible, and estimate how much you’ll be reimbursed for therapy. Checking benefits is free and doesn’t mean you’re signing up for therapy.

  • Many therapists provider itemized receipts (called superbills) for clients to submit to their insurance company directly for reimbursement. Insurance companies often make the process of submitting superbills confusing and cumbersome, making it less likely that you’ll follow through with the process. If you’re anything like me, December is going to roll around and you’ll realize you never got around to submitting those bills and you’re leaving money on the table. We don’t want that!

    To help you maximize your benefits and ensure that you’re getting reimbursed, I’ve partnered with Mentaya. Mentaya streamlines the reimbursement process by submitting claims for you, ensuring that claims are accepted by the insurance carrier, and sending reimbursement your way. Mentaya charges 5% per claim submission (paid by you) and in exchange they handle all of the paperwork, denials, and calls to your insurance company.

    Mentaya will cost you:

    • Tier 1 ($135 per session): $6.75 per claim

    • Tier 2 ($150 per session): $7.50 per claim

    • Tier 3 ($175 per session): $8.75 per claim

    • Tier 4 ($200 per session): $10.00 per claim

    If you would prefer not to use Mentaya and pay a claims submission fee, I can provide detailed superbills for you to submit to your insurance yourself.

  • Superbills include information required for the insurance to reimburse for your sessions. Superbills can be provided weekly, monthly, or at whatever frequency works for you. You submit the superbill directly to your insurance carrier using whatever system they have in place. Your insurance may have an online portal where you can submit or require submission by mail or fax (yes, fax…in 2026).

    I don’t submit superbills on your behalf nor do I work with insurance companies to resolve any issues with the claim. It’ll be your responsibility to go back and forth with the appropriate powers that be if you intend to submit your own superbills.
