Fees & insurance
Money is part of deciding whether therapy works for you, so here’s everything up front.

In person in Portland or online anywhere in Oregon. The fee is the same either way.

Sliding scale
I keep a few spots at reduced fees, from $90 to $130 per session, for people for whom the full fee would be a barrier. You don’t need to prove anything. Just ask during your free call, and we’ll find a fee that works.
Insurance and superbills
I’m not in-network with insurance companies. Many plans with out-of-network benefits reimburse part of the cost. Each month, I’ll send you a superbill, which is a receipt with the codes your insurer needs.
Before we start, it can help to call your insurer and ask:
Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
What’s my deductible, and how much of it have I met?
What percentage of a session would be reimbursed?
Do I need pre-authorization?
Payment
I accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as HSA and FSA cards. Payment is taken after each session.
Your right to a Good Faith Estimate
Under the federal No Surprises Act, if you don’t have insurance or don’t plan to use it, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of what your care is expected to cost. You can ask for one before you schedule a session, and I’ll give it to you in writing at least one business day before your first appointment. If you’re billed at least $400 more than your estimate, you can dispute the bill. For more information, visit cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
Cancellations
Life happens. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let me know at least 24 hours ahead. Sessions canceled with less notice are charged the full fee, except in emergencies or illness.
Still have questions about cost?
Ask me on your free call. No question about money is awkward here.
If you’re in crisis, please don’t wait for an appointment. In the US, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or call 911 if you’re in immediate danger. Outside the US, contact your local emergency number.
