A note about insurance:
I do not participate in any insurance programs. However, your insurance benefits may reimburse you for some of the cost depending on your specific plan. You can check your coverage by contacting your insurance company and asking the following questions: Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits? What is my deductible and has it been met? What is the coverage amount per therapy session (outpatient office visit)? I will provide you with all the information you need to submit to your insurance company.
