FAQS

60 minute therapy session $150

I have a limited number of reduced rate openings based on availability.

Payment is collected 48 hours prior to your session time to confirm your appointment. 

I am a certified out of network provider for Tricare and an out-of-network provider. I do not bill insurance directly. If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a monthly superbill (an itemized receipt) that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Understanding Out-of-Network Benefits:

Many PPO insurance plans include out-of-network mental health benefits. Reimbursement rates and eligibility vary based on your specific insurance plan. Because coverage differs among carriers and policies, I recommend contacting your insurance company directly to understand your benefits.

You may wish to ask the following questions:

• Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?

• What is my deductible, and how much of it has been met?

• What percentage of the allowed amount is reimbursed after my deductible is met?

• What is the allowed amount for CPT codes 90791, 90834, 90837, 90846, and 90847?

• Is there a limit to the number of therapy sessions covered each year?

• What is my out-of-pocket maximum, and how much has been applied toward it?

• What is the process for submitting superbills?​

​

Common CPT Codes:

The following billing codes are commonly used for psychotherapy services and may be helpful when speaking with your insurance company:

​

• 90791 – Initial Diagnostic Evaluation

• 90834 – Individual Psychotherapy, 45 minutes

• 90837 – Individual Psychotherapy, 60 minutes

• 90846 – Family Psychotherapy (without the identified patient present)

Questions?

If you have questions about fees, superbills, or navigating out-of-network benefits, I am happy to discuss the process and help you understand the available options.

If you are not using insurance, some benefits to investing in self-pay therapy include: 

• Increased privacy and confidentiality (with the exception of limits of confidentiality)

• Increased autonomy over the quality of your care including length and pace of sessions, your choice of therapist, etc. 

• You do not have a mental health disorder diagnosis on your medical record

Yes! My office is located in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

During your first session you can expect a semi-structured conversation that feels more casual than clinical. I’ll mostly be curious to know WHY NOW? and if you’ve been in counseling before—what’s worked and what hasn’t worked for you in the therapeutic relationship. Just because our relationship is new, doesn’t mean you are starting from scratch. I want to hone in on what’s gotten you this far and how can I help you become the person you want to be.

Many clients I see like to start with weekly sessions and then scale back as they become more confident or are enjoying seeing their progress stretch over longer periods of time.

My goal is to help you establish a baseline of health and wellness as quickly as possible and from THERE develop goals that set you on a trajectory for more joy, abundance, and flow.

Beginning January 1, 2022, as a part of the “No Surprises Act,” health care providers will be required by law to give uninsured and self-pay clients a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) of costs for services that they offer, when scheduling care or when the client requests an estimate. The act aims to reduce the likelihood that clients may receive a “surprise” medical bill by requiring that providers inform them of an expected charge for a service before the service is provided.
