How do I pay?
Do you accept insurance?
I have made the intentional decision not to contract with insurance companies in order to provide therapy that is personalized, flexible, and respectful of client privacy. Insurance participation often places limits on the type, length, and focus of treatment and requires sharing personal clinical information. By working out-of-network, I am able to collaborate with you fully on your treatment without these restrictions while maintaining the highest ethical and professional standards of care.
