  • I am currently in network with Blue Cross, Blue Shield PPO and Blue Choice, as well as Aetna. For all other insurance plans, I am considered an out-of-network provider.

    Some insurance plans may include out-of-network benefits, so please verify your benefits with your insurance company. When you call your insurance company, I recommend asking the following questions:

    • Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?

    • Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it, and have I met it yet?

    • Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?

    • Do I have a copayment or coinsurance? If so, how much will I have to pay per session?

    I can provide you with a monthly statement called a “superbill” for sessions already paid, so that you can submit it to your insurance company for reimbursement.

  • I will typically bill two early sessions as “intake sessions” to assess your needs as we get to know each other. These are billed at a rate of $235. After that, individual sessions are $210 per 55-minute session.

    I offer a limited number of sliding-scale slots for those needing a lower fee. Please inquire when we speak if you believe this is necessary.

  • Yes, I offer a limited number of sliding-scale slots for those needing a lower fee. Please inquire when we speak if you believe this is necessary.

  • Life happens! If you need to cancel, please contact me as soon as possible.

    Appointments that are not canceled or rescheduled with a minimum of 48 hours’ notice (or before 10a Saturday for Monday appointments) will be subject to the full session fee, which is not billable to insurance. We will discuss more about my late cancellation policy during our first session.

  • I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions. In-person sessions are offered from the world's cutest office in Evanston, Illinois.

  • Therapy sessions are typically 55 minutes, unless a different time frame is clinically indicated.

YOUR RIGHT TO A GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, healthcare providers must give patients who don’t have insurance or are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
