FAQs
How do I learn more?
You can contact me to schedule a free 15 minute phone call consultation to ask any questions you may have and see if we would be a good fit for one another.
What can I expect?
Sessions are typically 50-53 minutes. The first session is 60 minutes where we will discuss your background, your goals, and why you’re seeking counseling.
How does virtual therapy work?
You just need a phone or computer, a strong wifi connection, and a comfortable, private spot. I will provide HIPPA compliant software for our video sessions.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes! I am currently in-network with Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) of Texas, and Quest Behavioral Health (as well as a few others - reach out about your specific insurance). I will provide you with a secure online system that will verify your insurance benefits for you and give you an estimated copay. I am in the process of being paneled with United, Oscar Health, and Optum. Please reach out about a sliding scale until I am in-network with these plans.
What if you don’t accept my insurance?
If you are out of network, I offer private pay. Limited sliding scale (fee based on income) spots may be available. Contact me to see if you may be eligible.
Do you offer private pay?
I do! Some people prefer private pay so that their amount of sessions isn’t limited or to avoid the need for a clinical diagnosis. My private pay rate is $140 per 50 minute session. The initial session is $155 since the first session is 60-minutes long. I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance if you have out-of-network benefits, upon request.
What is a Good Faith Estimate?
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
