FINANCES

Insurance for individual thearpy: I am currently paneled with the following insurance companies:

• Aetna

• Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas

• Cigna

• United Healthcare/Optum

• Headway

Please call your insurance to verify mental health benefits!

Out of Network Billing: Health insurance often provides some coverage for mental health services and I encourage use of all your resources to pay for therapy. Note that not all insurance plans are currently accepted. However, if  you have an insurance plan that offers “out of network coverage”, you can submit a "superbill" that I will provide upon request, to apply for a partial reimbursement through your insurance company. A "superbill" is a specialized invoice, which includes the procedure coding, diagnosis coding and session dates that your insurance carrier will need to reimburse you. In this arrangement, you are responsible for full payment of my fees rather than your insurance company. Please check with your insurance before beginning therapy to see what type of reimbursement you can expect.  

Couples Counseling: 

Please be advised that insurance plans generally do not cover couples counseling as a distinct service. Although many policies include coverage for family counseling, that type of service differs from couples counseling, and the two are often mistaken for one another. I provide couples counseling only and do not offer family counseling.

While I can accept insurance for individual counseling sessions, couples counseling sessions are not billed to insurance. All couples counseling services are self-pay, and clients are responsible for the full cost.

Pre-marital Coaching: 

Premarital counseling is considered a personal development service and does not meet the medical necessity criteria required for insurance coverage. Therefore, clients are expected to pay the full cost out of pocket.

    Sessions are charged at the rate of $130 (50-60 minutes)
