Please clearly understand that when using insurance of any type, you will have given up your full privilege to confidentiality by signing a statement on your insurance policy. Insurance companies require the therapist to submit dates and diagnosis before certifying payment. This past year, many insurance companies have requested more personal information before approving payment. The insurance company is then responsible for where and how your information is used.

Many clients choose to pay directly for counseling services, receive a receipt from their therapist and request insurance reimbursement based on their insurance coverage. Others prefer to count the expense towards their medical tax deduction totals and not file with their insurance. It is important for you to check with your insurance provider on the type of mental health services covered by your individual plan and decide if filing through insurance is right for you.

Employee Assistance Plans (EAP)

Currently, I am not accepting any Employee Assistance Plans.

Personal Statement

The past couple of years have been very demanding and challenging for mental health professionals. In an effort to maintain my own healthy work/life balance, I have made the decision to spend less time managing insurance and EAP billing and more time devoted to direct services with my clients. It is in providing counseling services that I have my passion and training. It makes far more sense for me to utilize my time and energy to meet with clients during this heightened state of therapeutic need in our society.
