Mental health counseling
& Speaking services

"When you make a different choice, you change your future."

 

Investing in yourself is the first step to getting the support you deserve and need. Therapy does takes time and monetary investment into yourself. The payoffs from this are more than worthwhile when it comes to improving the quality of your life and achieving solutions. The benefits of therapy can be immensely impactful for your future and improving your present. My work with clients for more than a decade has demonstrated that transformative change is possible. My clients receive the value of excellent care and services from me and are my highest priority. ​​

​​

For therapy services, please note that session fees are direct pay (also called "private pay" or "fee for service"). Session fees reflect the therapist's years of experience, specialty areas, training, and expertise. In compliance with the No Surprises Act, be informed that we are an out of network practice and do not take insurance at this time. We can provide receipts called "superbills" for reimbursement using your out of network benefits. (See below for more information.)  Therapy clients may also use their flex spending dollars through HSA/FSA cards and request a "superbill" for this, if desired.

​

There are many benefits to direct pay, such as knowing that your private treatment information from mental health counseling will not be shared with an insurance provider and will not be on your permanent health records. Your confidentiality is of the utmost importance here. Services which are filed through insurance remain a part of your records. Direct pay, on the other hand, does not require diagnostic codes, unless you request such documentation described below (the "superbill"). Direct pay allows us to work together without the insurance company being directly involved in your treatment. We need not be encumbered by insurance-required diagnosis code requirements, session limits, treatment or pre-authorizations.  Fee for service allows us to choose the length of session that is customized to your support and scheduling needs. Sometimes you need more than 50 minutes! No problem, we can schedule appointments that best fit the duration you prefer and are clinically appropriate for the care you need. You are not restricted to session duration dictated by insurance providers with direct pay. 

​

For therapy clients in North and South Carolina seeking out of network reimbursement, we are happy to provide the required documentation needed by most insurance companies, which is called a "superbill." This document is a receipt for services and will contain the diagnostic codes needed. If your insurance carrier offers reimbursement, you may submit the "superbill" to your insurance provider directly using your out of network benefits. Each person's out of network plan is different, so you are encouraged to contact your insurance carrier for more information on this process if you choose this option. For most clients, the submission process is fairly straightforward. We suggest you contact your insurance provider for information on how to submit for reimbursement.​   

 

Cost will be addressed in your complimentary, brief phone consultation once we determine what services are best suited for your needs at this time.
