Filing Your Insurance Claim
Clients pay for counseling sessions at each session. I will provide your insurance information to my biller and we will discuss any questions you may have. Please confirm your coverage for mental health services with your insurance company.
Out of Network Providers
To determine if your insurance will reimburse you for counseling services with an out-of-network provider, look at your insurance provider’s website or your benefits manual, or call them directly. I can provide out-of-network provider forms for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement to you.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please notify me at least 24 hours in advance whenever possible when you are not able to make your appointment. For last-minute cancellations or when you do not come for your appointment at the time reserved for you, it will be your responsibility to pay for the missed session.

Is what we talk about in sessions confidential?
Confidentiality between a client and therapist is essential. For therapy to be successful you must trust your therapist with sensitive subject matter that you may not have discussed anywhere else. You should get a copy of a confidentiality agreement, and you can expect that what you discuss in the session will not be shared with anyone. This is called “Informed Consent”
