Fees and Insurance

Psychotherapy is an investment of your time, energy, and money.  The process asks much of the both of us, with the strong hope (supported by research) of valuable return.  My fee is $175 for a 50-minute session.  Because I dedicate a portion of my practice to making this work accessible to people in various situations, I offer a sliding-scale.  Please do not hesitate to ask me for a consideration of this kind.

Additionally, I reserve a portion of my practice for patients who will need to use their health insurance.  I am in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Quest, Meritain, and UPMC.  There are other plans that consider me in-network based on the network they use, so feel free to ask me about your specific plan.  Further, I work out-of-network with other plans, and I can either submit claims on your behalf or give you a receipt to submit on your own for reimbursement according to your out-of-network benefits.

The workings of insurance can be confusing; I will do my best to help you figure out how your plan would work for you.
