Flexible Therapy That Meets Your Needs
How It Works
Consultation
To begin, we can schedule a free 30 minute consultation to make sure we would be a good fit for therapy. This can be done via phone, video, or in-person. I know that finding the right therapist can be a daunting process, and I want to make sure you feel as comfortable as possible before we start our work together.
Therapy
I provide 45-minute individual therapy sessions for adults. I strongly encourage starting out with weekly sessions, but I also understand that you may have scheduling or financial concerns that require more flexibility. Our sessions can be in-person (only Mondays and Fridays right now) or on video. I believe strongly in making therapy more accessible and am willing to discuss any needs you may have in our consultation.
Insurance
I am in-network for Aetna and CareFirst insurance for clients in the DC, MD, and VA area. For clients who have other PPO, I can submit out-of-network claims for you. Insurance plans vary greatly in how much they reimburse for out-of-network therapy. Most people have to go through a deductible before they start getting reimbursed, which may take many sessions. I encourage you to reach out to your insurance provider to get more information on what your specific plan covers for out-of-network therapy. For out-of-network and private pay clients, I typically charge $200 per session, with sliding scale options for clients with financial concerns.
In-person and video sessions
I am currently providing in-person sessions on Mondays and Fridays in Silver Spring, MD, as well as video sessions throughout the week. I am able to provide teletherapy in Maryland, DC, Virginia, and all states that are part of PSYPACT. Click the link below for more information on PSYPACT and to see the participating states.
No Surprises Act -- for uninsured or those choosing not to use their insurance
In accordance with federal law, I will provide self-pay clients with a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) prior to their first appointment and as necessary to best reflect the current treatment plan. Per the law:
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is 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.
