I take many factors into consideration such as my experience, training, expertise, and post-graduate education. I also put in additional time to write psychotherapy notes with extra care to meet your insurance's specific guidelines. In addition, I may have to spend a ton of time speaking to insurance companies to advocate for reimbursement. All therapists are mandated to complete a specific amount of continuing education hours annually in order to keep their licenses active which is paid out of pocket.
As with most businesses, I have to cover operational costs (office rental, marketing, licensing renewal fees-etc) and cover all my taxes as a single-member business owner and employee. There are also a ton of administrative time that is unaccounted for.

We can discuss sliding scale fees (reduced rate) dependent upon your income. If you live in LV, NV I can refer you to low-cost psychotherapy provided by interns in the process of obtaining clinical hours for licensure. The interns have completed their master's degrees, have completed internship hours during graduate school, and are supervised by a licensed therapist. It's a win-win situation.

For clients using insurance, I require 2 consecutive sessions in order to complete a comprehensive Biopsychosocial Evaluation and collaborate on a Treatment Plan.
For clients who are paying out of pocket, we have more flexibility because we are not obligated to work within the limitations of insurance companies.
For all clients, we typically start off with weekly sessions then taper down to every 2 weeks then every 3-4 weeks then once per month. This will depend on a client’s current skillset and availability.

I appreciate when in-person clients mask up when they are experiencing cold/flu symptoms. I have a chronic, invisible illness and when I get sick, I get really sick for a long time!
If you have been recently exposed to someone with a cold, flu, or COVID, please let me know. We can do a virtual session instead.

According to the AEDP Institute, “AEDP heals trauma and helps to undo aloneness by championing the innate healing capacity of neuroplasticity in a safe, attached therapeutic relationship.
Through moment-to-moment, in-depth processing of difficult emotional and relational experiences, AEDP clinicians help clients recover their sense of core self and experience increased resilience and a renewed zest for life.
AEDP has roots in many disciplines including interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, emotion theory and affective neuroscience, body-focused approaches as well as transformational studies.”

We require at least a 48 hours advanced notice prior to your scheduled appointment. This gives us time to contact other clients that are waitlisted for your previously scheduled appointment. If your notice is less than 48 hours, you will be charged a late cancellation fee. Unlike doctor’s offices, I do not double or triple book for one appointment slot. Please be courteous of my time and my other clients’ time.

· All clients are required to enroll in auto-pay. Payment is due at the time of service.
· Clients are responsible for verifying their coverage for mental health services prior to scheduling your initial appointment.
· Please keep in mind that even if I am in-network with your insurance company, if you have not reached your deductible then you will likely be responsible for paying my contracted rates until your deductible is reached.
· If you do not have coverage during your first session or you lose coverage during the therapy process, you will be responsible for full payment of each session.
· You are responsible for any co-pays, deductibles, and/or coinsurance fees due at the time of service. I cannot verify co-pays, deductibles, and/or coinsurance fees prior to your initial session. If you have any questions regarding these fees, please contact your mental health insurance provider prior to scheduling your initial session.
