BCBS MA (Virtual only)

​

I'm considered an Out-of-Network provider for insurances not listed here. As such, I can provide you with a receipt of services, sometimes referred to as a Superbill, for you to submit for reimbursement if you are eligible. You'll need to check with your insurance carrier to find out what OON benefits are covered. Most clients receive 50-80% reimbursement on their investment in treatment.

​

WHY WOULD I CONSIDER SELF PAY INSTEAD OF USING INSURANCE?

While insurance can make healthcare more accessible, it does come with some considerations concerning your medical history. A diagnosis code is required to utilize insurance, and this becomes a part of your permanent health record. Furthermore, insurance carriers may have rigid timelines or courses of treatment that they consider effective, and sometimes, they aren't. This can have a detrimental impact on your growth and overall wellness. Many people do not have a mental health disorder when they come to therapy to work through their problems and they prefer self pay to maintain a sense of privacy as well as to avoid a diagnosis.

​

WHAT TYPES OF PAYMENT ARE ACCEPTED?

I accept HSA cards, cash, Venmo, and all major credit cards. A credit card on file is required to schedule an appointment with me, but you may pay for each session using whichever method you prefer.

​

WHAT IS A "HOLISTIC APPROACH" IN THERAPY?

A holistic approach and framework acknowledges the connection between mind, body and spirit, which allows for deeper awareness and understanding of the person as a whole being.

​

IS EVERYTHING I SAY IN SESSION CONFIDENTIAL?

Yes. However, there are three main exceptions when any provider needs to break confidentiality, such as abuse of a minor or incapacitated adult, present danger or intent to harm self or others, and confidentiality may be waived if records are court-ordered. 

​

DO YOU ONLY OFFER FAITH-BASED CHRISTIAN COUNSELING?

No. While my personal relationship with Jesus Christ and my Christian faith are an integral part who I am, I provide counseling to everyone, regardless of worldview or personal belief system. Everyone is welcome at my practice and will be treated with dignity, respect and compassion. 

​

WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?

We require at least 24 hours' notice to cancel your appointment in order to avoid being charged a fee; 48 or more hours is preferred if possible. 

​

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FOR THE FIRST SESSION?

It's normal to feel nervous before and during the first session. I wrote in detail about what to expect on the About Page.
