I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not participate directly with insurance companies or managed care plans. However, depending on your insurance policy, you may be eligible for reimbursement through your out-of-network mental health benefits.

Following each appointment, I will provide you with a detailed statement (often called a superbill) containing the information typically needed to submit a claim to your insurance company. You may submit this statement for potential reimbursement or simply keep it for your personal financial records.

If you plan to use out-of-network benefits, I encourage you to contact your insurance company before beginning treatment to better understand your coverage. Some helpful questions include:

• Does my plan include out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health services?

• What is my out-of-network deductible, and how much of it have I met?

• What percentage or amount of each session may be reimbursed after my deductible is met?

• Are there any additional requirements for obtaining reimbursement?

If your plan includes out-of-network coverage, your insurance company may reimburse you directly for a portion of your session fees, depending on your individual benefits. Reimbursement amounts are determined by your insurance provider.

The Benefits of Choosing Out-of-Network Care

• Treatment Tailored to You: Working outside of insurance networks allows us greater flexibility to collaboratively determine the type, frequency, duration, and intensity of treatment that will be most helpful for you – based on clinical need and evidence-based practice - without the limitations of an insurance plan.

• Greater Privacy and Choice: You have the option to keep your treatment and billing information between us, without submitting claims or treatment information to an insurance company.

• An Investment in Effective, Lasting Change: My goal is to help you develop practical skills, build confidence, and create meaningful, lasting improvements in your life. An investment in evidence-based treatment most often reduces or even eliminates the need for such services over time, often resulting in lower out-of-pocket costs in the long run. 

Initial Evaluation | $350

Your initial evaluation includes a comprehensive 90–120-minute clinical interview, review of your treatment history and relevant records, and coordination with other providers when appropriate. This process allows me to better understand your concerns, goals, and individual needs to help guide treatment planning and recommendations.

Active Treatment Sessions | $185 per 45 minutes

Following your evaluation, treatment sessions are billed at $185 per 45 minutes, with fees adjusted proportionally for shorter or longer sessions. Additional professional services, including requested documentation and travel for community-based services, are billed at the same rate based on time spent.

Payment Options

Payment is typically due at the time of service. For your convenience, payments may be made by check, debit card, or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, or Discover).

Cancellation/No Show Policy

No-shows and cancellations without 24-hours notice (for regular appointments) are subject to the full session fee (up to 45-minutes). Repeated late cancellations or no shows may result in your treatment being terminated.

I offer both in-person appointments at my office in Leawood, Kansas, and secure telehealth sessions. 

Taking the first step toward getting help is simple. You can reach out by phone, email, or by submitting an online inquiry through my Get Started page. I’ll be happy to answer your questions, discuss your needs, and help you determine whether my services are a good fit. Together, we can explore the next steps toward getting you the support you need.

Your Rights Under the No Surprises Act

Under the federal No Surprises Act, which took effect January 1, 2022, individuals who are uninsured or choose not to use their health insurance have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of their expected healthcare costs.

Before beginning treatment, I will provide a Good Faith Estimate when required by law. This estimate outlines the anticipated costs of your care based on the information available at that time. Because psychological treatment is individualized, the frequency and duration of services may vary. We will work collaboratively to review your treatment needs and adjust plans as appropriate.

Your Right to Dispute Charges

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you may be eligible to dispute the charges through the federal patient-provider dispute resolution process. Disputes must be initiated within 120 calendar days of the original bill, and a $25 administrative fee applies.

For additional information about your rights, Good Faith Estimates, or the dispute resolution process, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.

Please retain a copy of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.
