Like most specialty providers, I do not participate in any insurance plans.
Paying out-of-pocket is a great option for people who want maximum privacy, confidentiality, and flexibility.

While I’m not in-network with any insurance providers, I understand that my clients may still wish to use their out-of-network benefits for reimbursement. Many clients have out-of-network benefits, but may not understand how to use them.
I’ve partnered with Nirvana, a company that advocates on behalf of therapy seekers, to provide transparency into your out-of-network benefits, so that you have greater insight into what reimbursement is possible with your plan.
Use this Peace of Mind Calculator to estimate how much you can expect to pay for out-of-network therapy.
