FAQs

  • Yes! I am currently accepting new patients who are located in Colorado and Illinois.

  • I am currently in-network with most commercial Aetna and Cigna plans in both Colorado and Illinois. I am also in-network with BCBS PPO plans in Illinois, but am not in-network with Anthem/BCBS in Colorado at this time.

    Due to Medicaid policies, I am not able to render services to anyone who is a Medicaid recipient. Similarly, I am unable to render services to anyone who is a Medicare recipient at this time. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

  • For patients who are not in network with Aetna, Cigna, or BCBS of Illinois PPO plans, intake assessments (the first appointment) and therapy sessions are $180.

    Payment is due at the time of service, and can be paid via credit card, FSA, or HSA. My fees are similar to other doctoral-level providers in Colorado and Illinois.

  • If you have out-of-network mental health benefits, I can provide you with a superbill to give to your insurance company. In doing so, many people (particularly with PPO plans) are able to receive partial reimbursement for my services. Just like with in-network care, there is often a deductible that must be met before your insurance company will start reimbursing you for out-of-network services. I cannot guarantee that your insurance company will reimburse you. Please contact your insurance company if you have questions about whether you have these benefits. Questions to ask your insurance company:

    1. Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?

    2. Are telehealth services covered?

    3. Is there a deductible I need to meet before I can get reimbursed for my out-of-network therapy services? If yes, how much of that deductible has been met this year?

    4. What is my out-of-network coinsurance for mental health?

    5. Does my plan limit how many sessions I can receive?

    6. Is there a maximum cost per session you reimburse a percentage of?

    7. Do I need written approval from a physician (e.g., primary care doctor) for sessions to be covered?

    8. How do I submit claims for out-of-network reimbursement?

    Your insurance company may also want to know what billing codes I may use. They are as follows: 90791, 90837, 90834, and 90832. Telehealth services are coded with a ‘95’ modifier.

  • All sessions take place via a HIPAA-compliant video platform (online therapy that is secure and private).

  • I require 24 hours notice for cancellations. If a session is not canceled with at least 24 hours notice, or you do not show up to a session, I reserve the right to charge the full session fee.

  • Duration of treatment varies based on your therapy goals. For example, if someone comes to therapy to treat insomnia, and they do not have other goals, treatment will likely be very brief (2-8 sessions). If someone comes to therapy to treat postpartum anxiety, treatment will likely be longer (6-12 months). All of this varies by person, so we will assess your symptoms throughout treatment to ensure the duration of therapy is appropriate for you.
