Fees
Insurance is not currently accepted. I provide
a sliding fee scale based on ability and income. Receipts can
be provided to submit to insurance companies for out of network
reimbursement.
Military families often have needs that are
different from civilian issues. Sliding fee scale is reduced
for military members and/or their families.
There are several advantages for self-pay therapy sessions including:
Privacy -
When you decline
to use an insurance company your private health information
stays in my office. There are only a few specific circumstances
outlined in the informed consent intake packet that would allow
other professionals to ever see your private information.
Another advantage of self pay is that you may be denied insurance
and various licenses because of a mental health diagnosis. If
you use your insurance to pay for therapeutic mental health
services your therapist MUST designate a diagnosis for your
issue(s). If you are to purchase or obtain health insurance
in the future this diagnosis can follow you and you may be denied
coverage. Paying ‘out of pocket’ensures that insurance
companies will not know that a therapist has seen you.
Confidentiality and Privacy Policy
The law and the AAMFT ethical codes protect the relationship between
a client and their therapist. Your information cannot be disclosed
without your written consent except under specific situations.
The exceptions are:
-Suspected child, elder, or vulnerable adult abuse
-Intentional spreading of the AIDS virus
-Threats of homicide
-Threats of suicide
