FAQs

Do you accept my insurance?

I am considered an “In-Network Provider” with Aetna, Cigna, Quest Behavioral Health, Carelon Behavioral Health and most Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBS) plans.

Cost will depend on your plan and type of coverage you have.

do you offer private pay rates?

I do offer private pay rates for services. They are listed below:

  • $150 53 Minute Session

  • $175 60 Minute Intake Session

Do you offer sliding scale?

Yes- I offer a limited number of sliding scale or reduced fee appointments for clients who are uninsured, unable to afford my standard rate, or experiencing financial hardships. If you believe this applies to you, please mention it during our initial contact so we can explore a possible alternative fee arrangement. These spots are limited and usually available for a brief period.

Please note:
In accordance with federal and state regulations, I am not permitted to offer self-pay options for individuals covered by Medicaid. If you are enrolled in Medicaid, services must be accessed through your Medicaid plan.

How do I become a client?

Please fill out the contact form and we can schedule a time to meet.

How do I cancel an appointment?

If you need to cancel an appointment, you may do so by sending me an email or a message through the secure client portal. Please note that cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance to avoid a late cancellation fee.

Good Faith Estimate

Effective January 1, 2022, a federal ruling went into effect called the “No Surprises Act”. Individuals who are not enrolled in a health insurance plan, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.

Under law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
