Payment FAQs
Do you offer a sliding scale?
I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for those who need a reduced fee, with rates available down to $100. This option is meant to support individuals who would feel ongoing stress or strain trying to meet their basic needs while paying the full fee.
If you’re not sure whether sliding scale is right for you, it can be helpful to reflect on your current financial picture. For some, the full fee would make it difficult to cover essentials or feel stable month to month. For others, it may be manageable with some temporary shifts in discretionary spending. Alexis J. Cunningfolk offers a framework for thinking through this, called the Green Bottle Method, which you’re welcome to explore if it feels useful.

Can I use HSA/FSA to pay for therapy?
I do! These funds cannot be applied to no-show or late cancellation fees, however.
Do you take insurance?
I do not accept insurance at this time. However, if you have out-of-network benefits, I’m happy to provide a superbill that includes the dates of service and fees paid. You can submit this to your insurance company for reimbursement, depending on your plan. Before scheduling, I recommend calling the number on the back of your insurance card to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits and the process for submitting claims. This can help you determine whether using superbills makes sense for you.

No Surprises Act
Good Faith Estimate
The No Surprises Act, effective January 1, 2022, aims to protect consumers from surprise billing when receiving care from out-of-network providers.
Under the law, healthcare providers must give clients who don’t have insurance or are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical items and services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the total expected cost of non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your healthcare provider and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. Your healthcare provider can give you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. If you receive a bill of at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate or how to dispute a bill, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
