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
