Frequently Asked Questions

DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?

I am an out-of-network provider. I can provide receipts (superbills) for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.

WHAT ARE YOUR FEES?

Individual 55-minute therapy sessions are $130.
Couples and family 55-minute sessions are $150.

Some treatment approaches, including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), may benefit from additional session time. ART completed within a standard 55-minute session is included in the regular session fee. When additional time is needed, it is billed at $35 per completed 15-minute increment beyond 55 minutes. Partial 15-minute increments are not charged. Up to 90 minutes may be reserved for ART sessions, but you are only charged for the time actually used.

Payment can be made by credit card, cash, Venmo, HSA, or check.

CAN I GET AN ESTIMATE OF THE COST OF THERAPY?

Yes. Core Counseling is currently a self-pay practice. You can request a written Good Faith Estimate of your expected therapy costs before scheduling services, and one will be provided when required after you schedule care.

The estimate is based on the number and frequency of sessions reasonably expected at the time. Your treatment schedule may change as therapy progresses.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you may be able to dispute it. Learn more at https://www.cms.gov/medical-bill-rights.

HOW OFTEN WILL WE MEET?

That depends on your needs and goals. Some people prefer weekly sessions, while others meet biweekly. We’ll talk through what feels right for you and adjust as needed.

DO YOU OFFER ONLINE THERAPY?

Yes. I offer both in-person and online sessions, depending on your preference and what works best for your schedule.

WHAT IS THERAPY LIKE?

Therapy is a space to slow down, understand what you’re experiencing, and begin working through it in a way that feels manageable. You don’t have to have everything figured out—we’ll make sense of it together.

IS WHAT I SHARE CONFIDENTIAL?

What you share in therapy is private and confidential, with a few legal exceptions. These include situations involving safety concerns (such as risk of harm to yourself or others), abuse or neglect, or court-ordered records.

If you have questions about confidentiality, I’m always happy to talk through it with you.

WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE?

I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations. Appointments canceled within 24 hours may be charged the full session fee, though I understand that things come up and will always take circumstances into account.

Reaching Out Can Feel Overwhelming

Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, and it’s okay if you’re unsure where to begin. You’ve already made it this far.

If you have additional questions or feel ready to get started, we’ll figure it out together.
