Simple, Convenient Payment

I’ve made paying for your therapy sessions straightforward and flexible. Payment is due at the time of service, and I accept:

All major credit cards (Mastercard, Visa, Discover, American Express)
Health Savings Account (HSA)
Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA)

Note: For HSA, FSA, or HRA cards, I’ll need a backup payment method for potential late cancellations, as required by federal regulations.

Insurance Information

While I don’t directly accept insurance, many of my clients successfully use their out-of-network benefits. I’m happy to provide detailed statements for your reimbursement claims. I encourage you to check with your insurance provider about their out-of-network coverage for virtual therapy sessions.

Your Privacy Matters

Confidentiality is the cornerstone of our therapeutic relationship. Here’s what you should know:

Our discussions are protected by law
Your information is shared only when:

You provide written permission
There’s risk of harm to yourself or others
There’s suspected abuse of children, elderly, or disabled persons
Legal requirements mandate disclosure

Detailed HIPAA information is available upon request, and I’m always happy to address any privacy concerns.

Scheduling & Cancellations

To maintain the quality of care for all clients:

Your appointment time is reserved exclusively for you
48 hours’ notice (2 business days) is required for cancellations
Monday appointments need cancellation by 5 PM the previous Thursday
Late cancellations or missed sessions are billed at the full rate

Consistent attendance supports your therapeutic progress. Regular cancellations can impact our ability to meet your goals and affect appointment availability for others seeking care.
