Insurance and Fees
I am an out-of-network provider for most major insurance plans, which means that I do not file a claim against your insurance directly, but you may file on your own behalf. I will provide you with a receipt and any necessary supporting documents, which you can forward to your carrier. You will then receive a check for the portion of my fee that is paid by your plan. If you have out-of-network benefits, this amount will vary from approximately 40% to 70% depending on your specific plan. Any additional information released to your carrier will be by your written authorization only.
My fees range depending on the length of sessions (50-90 mins) $200-$360 (play therapy, individual therapy, family therapy and parent coaching). For Co-Parent coaching and for clients involved in active litigation my rate is $250 for 50 mins.
Teens
I work particularly well with teens who want to improve their relationships, are anxious or depressed; or seem resistant to change. I've had success helping isolated peers find support, and with guiding and empowering teens to make better decisions.
Parents
I provide parent consultation and co-parent coaching sessions to empower parents to interact with their children and each other more effectively. I work specifically to help parents communicate with each other, make difficult parenting decisions, reduce frustration and resentment that can interfere with positive parent-child and co-parent interactions. Using a combination of psycho-education, skill-building, and empathic attunement, I increase parent's feelings of support and interactional competence.
Children
I work with children to increase social and emotional skills and improve coping, and parents to help reinforce these developing skills. My most common areas of focus are fostering adjustment to divorce, smoothing transitions to new life events, grief and loss, sleep issues, ADHD, anxiety and depression, navigating parent-child conflict, improving sibling dynamics, improving peer relationships, and reducing aggression.
Young Adults
I specialize in psychotherapy for young adults (18-30) addressing anxiety, mood concerns, attachment and relational patterns, and the developmental tasks specific to this life stage.
