Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
Under federal law, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the expected cost of your mental health care.
A Good Faith Estimate is provided to clients who are not using insurance and are paying privately for services.
Good Faith Estimate
-
At this time, I am a private-pay provider and do not accept insurance. I am also unable to provide superbills for insurance reimbursement.
This means that payment for services is the client’s responsibility and is due at the time of each session.
I’m always happy to talk through questions about fees during a consultation so you can decide what feels right for you.

Your Good Faith Estimate reflects the anticipated cost of therapy based on:
The type of service provided
Session length and frequency
Your individual goals and needs
While this estimate helps with planning, actual costs may vary depending on the care you receive.
-
Typical Therapy Fees
Initial therapy session (45–60 minutes): $130
Ongoing individual therapy sessions: $130 per session
I offer a limited number of sliding-scale spots, which means session fees may be adjusted based on financial need and availability. This can be discussed during your consultation.
-
If you receive a bill that is $400 or more above your Good Faith Estimate, you may have the right to dispute the charges.
