Rates & Insurance

Clear numbers, no surprises.

Money is one more thing to brace against, and you have enough of those. Here is exactly what this costs and how coverage works.

50 minutes

$175

per session

The standard weekly or biweekly session. Enough room to arrive, do the work, and land before you leave.

The rate shown is the full private-pay fee. If you are using insurance, what you actually pay is your copay, coinsurance, or contracted rate — often considerably less.

Insurance

In network with

  • Premera
  • LifeWise

Out of network

Superbills provided on request for out-of-network reimbursement. A superbill is an itemized receipt you submit to your insurer yourself — many plans reimburse a meaningful portion of the fee once your out-of-network deductible is met.

What to ask your insurer before we start

Benefits vary enormously even within the same carrier. Ten minutes on the phone with the number on the back of your card will tell you more than I can, and it prevents the kind of billing surprise nobody needs mid-treatment.

  1. 01Do I have outpatient mental health benefits?
  2. 02What is my deductible, and how much of it have I met this year?
  3. 03What is my copay or coinsurance per session?
  4. 04Is a referral or pre-authorization required?
  5. 05Are telehealth sessions covered at the same rate as in-person?

Your rights — the No Surprises Act

Good Faith Estimate

If you are uninsured, or insured but choosing not to use your benefits, federal law entitles you to a Good Faith Estimate of what your care will cost. I will provide one in writing before your first session, and you can request one at any point.

If the final bill is at least $400 more than the estimate, you have the right to dispute it. Keep a copy of the estimate for your records.

More information is available at cms.gov/nosurprises or by calling 1-800-985-3059.

Scheduling

Booking ahead protects the work

Trauma treatment depends on consistency far more than most therapy does — a reprocessing sequence interrupted for a month loses momentum that takes weeks to rebuild.

For that reason I ask clients to book follow-up sessions at least six weeks in advance. The calendar fills quickly, and holding a standing slot is the simplest way to make sure your time is actually there when you need it.

If cost or scheduling is the thing standing between you and starting, say so on the consult call. It is a solvable problem more often than people expect.

Still not sure what this will cost you?

Bring your insurance card to the consult call and we'll work it out together before you commit to anything.
