Fees & Insurance

I provide individual and family therapy to children, adolescents and adults.  Prior to beginning services, I offer a telephone consultation at no charge so that we can discuss your reason for seeking counseling and determine whether I will be a good match for your therapeutic needs. Following the consultation, our first session will be spent evaluating your needs, history, and goals for treatment. I will discuss with you my recommendations, and together we will determine a plan for treatment.  

I am a network provider for the following insurance companies:

  • Aetna

  • First Choice Health Network PPO

  • Moda Health (includes most Legacy Health/OHSU plans)

  • Open Card OHP

  • HealthShare/Care Oregon OHP

  • PacificSource Health Plans

  • Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Oregon (includes out-of-state BCBS plans)

If I am not in-network with your insurance company, my services may still be covered. If you have out of network benefits and I can confirm that your insurance will pay me directly, I would be happy to file claims on your behalf. Otherwise, you would be required to pay at the time of the session, but I would still file a claim on your behalf (if requested by you). My fees for services range from $150-220 per session, depending on the service provided. I do not guarantee reimbursement by your insurance company and any unpaid balance would remain your responsibility. Some people prefer not to involve their insurance and to pay for services directly. I am glad to discuss any questions you may have about insurance or self-pay options for counseling.

I feel strongly that everyone deserves access to affordable care.  If you do not have insurance coverage or out of network coverage is inadequate, please know that I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots.  I cannot waive co-pays or deductibles, but if I have a sliding scale spot available, I can work with you on a fee that fits your budget or refer you to lower cost resources.

You are responsible for familiarizing yourself with your insurance benefits to determine your coverage, though I can provide some assistance with this, as insurance can seem like a foreign language sometimes. Some questions you may want to ask of your insurance company are:

  • Do I have coverage for outpatient mental health treatment?

  • Does my health plan cover out-of-network providers?

  • Is pre-authorization required?

  • Have I met my deductible?

  • Do I have a commercial plan or a self-funded (or employer-funded) plan?

If self-funded:

  • Is there a maximum number of therapy sessions allowed under my current coverage?

  • Are there any outpatient mental health services that are excluded by my plan?

    If you have questions, please do not hesitate to send me a message.
