If I am not working with your insurance company, then I am considered an "out-of-network" provider. It may be possible to have your insurance company reimburse you for our sessions.

Contact your insurance to verify if you are eligible for out-of-network reimbursement and determine what that rate would be. Pay the full rate for sessions upfront. I will then provide a receipt of your payments, referred to as a "super bill", at the end of each month. You will submit a claim directly to your insurance using the super bill. Your insurance company will reimburse at the agreed-upon rate.
