Payment

Insurance:
I currently accept Anthem, Sentara (Optima), and United Healthcare/Optum.

Unfortunately, I do not accept Aetna.

If you have an alternate insurance provider (such as Aetna), but would still like reimbursement for sessions, I can create documentation for you to submit to them for payment.

Note that the payments received by the insurance provider as reimbursement may not cover the full service fee.

Self-Pay:
Individual Counseling, 60 minutes: $120

What is the Process like?

Submit an inquiry, which you’ll find under the “contact us” button at the top right. Once I’ve received this notification, I’ll reach out to you—typically within 24 hours—to discuss what you’re looking for. I offer 15 minute consultations over the phone to answer any initial questions and to assess how your needs match with my areas of expertise. This consultation call is free of charge. If you decide that we would be a good therapeutic fit, I schedule an intake session and send the onboarding documentation.

Please know that I value the therapeutic relationship as the premise from which to do meaningful work. If it doesn’t feel like a good fit between us, that’s ok! I encourage you to find your person. In a similar vein, I am committed to staying within my areas of professional competence and will refer you to an alternate provider if I believe that your needs would be better addressed elsewhere.
