Therapist's note

I am not in-network with any insurance company, Medicaid, Medicare, or other third-party payor. This provides clients several benefits, such as not needing to have a specific diagnosis to be eligible for psychological services, not having limits on the number or frequency of sessions, and ensuring greater confidentiality with no third-party involvement. Additionally, because we are not restricted by third-party requirements, we can focus on the what you are truly seeking and collaboratively develop a customized plan that best suits your unique needs, preferences, and goals.

I do provide invoices and statements for services rendered, which can be submitted for potential out-of-network benefits reimbursement from your health insurance provider, health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or other third-party payor. Your out-of-pocket payments for services may also count toward your health insurance deductible. If you have any questions about this, please contact me.
