Fees - It's Time to Invest in Yourself
Private (Self) Pay Agency
I am a private (self) pay agency and do not take or bill insurance at this time. I do offer:
* Limited reduced fee spots available
* Superbills for out-of-network benefit attempts
* Competitive rates
* Cash, checks, and cards accepted - in person
* Only cards accepted for telehealth services
The Benefits of Self Pay
1. Anyone can get services - Unlike insurance companies, I will not deny you services because you do (or don't) have a mental health diagnosis.
2. Treatment Control - Unlike insurance companies, I allow you to choose how little, how much, and what type of services you receive without needing pre-approval. You can change your services at any time.
3. Information Control - You get to be in charge of your private therapy information (e.g. assessment and treatment plans), not the insurance companies.
4. A focus on you rather than charts - With insurance companies its more about the charts and less about you. They put a priority on how we document and justify treatment. In private pay, I just get to do what I do best, focus on you instead of treating the charts.

Good Faith Estimates (GFE's)
Good Faith Estimates (GFE's) are federally required estimates of your final bill for private pay clients based on expected services and provide client financial protection through cost transparency.
You may contact us at any time to receive a GFE, otherwise one will be provided when you schedule your first appointment, when you change your service frequency or types, and/or yearly.
How GFE's Protect Clients
If your final bill is higher than your most recent good faith estimates by over $400 you may contact the health provider to negotiate or you may dispute the bill by contacting www.cms.gov/nosurprises or calling 1-800-985-3059 within 120 days of the final bill.
Yearly Cost Estimates
Below are example costs for one year of services. Your actual costs may vary based on your specific circumstances and will be reflected in a personal GFE. These do NOT include extraneous costs that clients can control such as missed appointment fees, documentation requests, or costs for court.
