Prioritizing Your Mental Health

Whether you are attending alone, with your partner, or family members, sessions are 50 minutes and the fee is $250. 

I do not accept insurance. 

However,  I work with Mentaya, a platform that helps clients get money back on out-of-network therapy sessions. If you have out-of-network benefits,  Mentaya will file claims and handle the insurance paperwork to make sure you get reimbursed. They charge a 5% fee per claim and have helped people get thousands of dollars back per year. You can sign up using this link:

Note:  Mentaya's goal is to save you time and money. It's completely optional, and as your therapist I do not benefit in any way from your participation.

When it comes to paying for therapy sessions, it’s important to understand how insurance reimbursement works. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

Percentage Reimbursement

Many insurance companies will reimburse a percentage of the total fee paid. For example, your company may reimburse you 80% of the total fee paid ($160 of the total fee of $200).

Allowed Amount Reimbursement

Other companies will substitute the $200 fee for what they deem appropriate, regardless of what you paid. For example, your company might say that they will reimburse you 80% of the “allowed amount of the fee.” You paid $200 for an individual session, but your insurance company only allows $100; therefore you will be reimbursed 80% of the $100, or $80.

Asking for Information

It’s important to note that insurance companies may try to withhold this information from you, and can legally do so. However, you can ask to speak to a supervisor and convey to them that you cannot plan your medical expense budget without this number. By understanding how insurance reimbursement works, you can make informed decisions about your therapy sessions and budget accordingly.
