Services

Individual Therapy

We begin with completing an initial intake assessment, where we explore background history, discuss problem areas, and start to establish goals for therapy. Goals are individualized and tailored to you and your specific needs.

Follow-up sessions will typically be scheduled for 50-minutes, however this can vary depending on your individual needs.

Therapy services are only being offered virtually to Maryland residents at this time.

Self-Pay Rates

$180 | An intake assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that gathers a thorough history in order to better understand presenting issues and accurately make diagnoses.

Length of intake session is typically between 60-90 minutes.

Intake Assessment

$160 | After the initial intake session, we will schedule regular follow-up therapy sessions. These are typically scheduled for 50 minutes. Frequency will be determined during your intake assessment.

Individual Session

$80 | 30-Minute sessions may be available to those who are looking for brief, solution-oriented support, or those who may not be able to commit to the full 50 minutes due to life circumstances. The therapist and client will discuss if 30-minute brief sessions are appropriate prior to scheduling them.

Brief Session

I accept Aetna, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, and Optum (UnitedHealthcare) insurances.

Clients with Aetna, Cigna, and Optum (UHC) insurances will be connected with the platform Alma, and clients with CareFirst BCBS insurances will be connected with the platform Headway. Both platforms conduct initial eligibility checks that will outline estimated costs for sessions. All billing and insurance-related matters will be handled through either of these platforms.

Insurance

If a client is out-of-network, he/she will be billed at the self-pay rates listed above through Simple Practice. We accept credit cards, HSA, and FSA cards as payment at time of service. Clients may choose to submit a claim directly to their insurance provider for out-of-network benefits. Please contact your insurance carrier to see if you are eligible for out-of-network benefits.

Your carrier’s phone number should be located on the back of your insurance card. The following questions may be helpful when verifying your coverage:

Are out-of-network benefits included in my plan? If so, what does the process entail to receive reimbursement for out-of-network services?
Does my plan cover virtual mental health services?
How much time do I have to file a claim for out-of-network services?
Is a preauthorization required in order to receive reimbursement for services? (If so, how many sessions can be covered with one authorization?)
How much can I expect to be reimbursed for the following CPT/session codes: 90791 (intake session); 90837 (60-minute session); 90834 (50-minute session); and 90832 (30-minute session)?

Upon request, a superbill may be sent to you at the end of each month containing information necessary to submit the claim. Please note that there are no guarantees that your insurance carrier will offer reimbursement upon submission of a claim.

Additional Fee Information

Life can be unpredictable and sometimes things come up. If you cannot make it to your scheduled appointment, it is requested that you provide at least a 24-hour notice to cancel or reschedule. If a client cancels a session within the 24-hour window, or if the client does not show for the appointment, he/she will be billed a late cancellation/no-show fee of $80.
If a client needs to reschedule within the 24-hour window, however is able to find another time within the same calendar week to reschedule, then no late cancellation fee will be applied.
Each client will have one “free pass” with his/her first late cancellation or no-show. The cancellation fee will be enforced for any late cancellations or no-shows following the first “free pass.”
In compliance with the No Surprises Act that went into effect January 1, 2022, all healthcare providers are required to notify clients of their Federal rights and protections against potential “surprise billing.”
This law requires therapists to provide a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) of expected charges to clients who are not utilizing insurance to pay for services.
If you are not using insurance to cover the costs of services, your therapist will provide you with a GFE prior to your first scheduled service. You may also request a GFE in advance of an already scheduled health care service or before scheduling.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your GFE, you can dispute the bill.
