I am an in-network provider for:

Care Oregon (HealthShare plans)

Pacific Source

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. My fees for services range from $150-225 per session, depending on the service provided. I am glad to discuss any questions you may have about insurance or self-pay options for counseling, including my sliding fee scale.

For those not covered by either Care Oregon Health Share or Pacific Source, there are several options you may wish to explore to cover the cost of therapy:

Submit the monthly superbill (detailed receipt) I provide to your insurance company for reimbursement at out-of-network rates. Please check with your insurance for the specifics of reimbursement for out-of-network mental health providers. *Scroll down in this section for a list of questions to ask your insurance provider.

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) & Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) can be used to pay for mental health care. You can choose to submit the monthly superbill I provide to your HSA/FSA for reimbursement or pay for therapy using an HSA/FSA debit card.

It is important to consider what is affordable for you. There are many therapists in-network with insurance companies. Please see the Resources page of this website for referral information.

*It is a good idea to familiarize yourself with your mental health insurance coverage prior to treatment. Here are some good questions to ask your insurance company prior to your first visit:

Is (provider’s name) a part of my behavioral health preferred provider network? If not, does my policy include out of network benefits? What are my out of network benefits?

What is my co-pay and deductible? What amount of my deductible still needs to be satisfied and to whom do I pay my deductible?

Does my policy require authorization for care? If yes, how do I get this authorization?

Does my policy have limitations, and if so, what are they?

No Surprises Act Information:

If you will not be using insurance to reimburse you for services, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost under the No Surprises Act.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

If you have notified me that you will not be using insurance to reimburse the cost of therapy, you will receive a Good Faith Estimate in writing from me with your intake paperwork within 3 days after you schedule your first appointment.

You can also ask me for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule your first appointment.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
