Frequently Asked Questions

Individual therapy sessions start at the following:

Clients in Ohio: $150 for 50 minutes

Clients in New York: $200 for 50 minutes

These discrepancies reflect the cost of living differences in each state.

I am committed to social justice and accessibility; therefore, I hold a limited number of sliding scale spots for those needing a lower rate. By holding a number of full fee and sliding scale spots, I am able to take care of myself while also providing accessible care to those who need it most.

Update: Currently, all of my lower tier sliding scale spots are full. As these spots open up, this page will be updated.

I am an out-of-network provider with insurances. Therefore, if you have out-of-network benefits, you could be reimbursed for part of your therapy cost.

In order to make therapy more accessible, I work with a payment platform called Thrizer. If you prefer not to use Thrizer, I can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Consider whether paying for my services constitutes “sacrifice versus hardship.” In terms of sacrifice, this may mean cutting down on activities like eating out, getting your nails done, ordering coffees before work, or buying a new outfit. Sacrificing these things will not have a detrimental impact on your life long-term. However, if paying my full session fee would cause you to then be unable to pay rent, put food on the table, or afford your commute to work, this would have harmful long-term consequences and qualifies as hardship.

By paying my full fee, this enables other people undergoing hardship to afford accessible care.

Call your insurance company and ask the following:

• “Do I have out-of-network benefits for mental health, specifically for CPT code 90834?”

• “Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it?”

• “What is my coinsurance/ what percentage of my bill will be covered after my deductible is met?”

• “How do I submit a superbill?”

Thrizer can also give you an estimate of your out-of-network coverage for therapy if you sign up.

I’m all for transparency, especially because I asked myself the same question when I was in your position! Little did I know everything that goes into a single session. Session fees cover education and trainings, time spent planning outside of sessions, and personal and business costs. Since this is a small business, it’s also covering costs like vacation, sick time, and health insurance, benefits that are typically included if you work for a company. Session fees also compensate for the high cost to simply exist in our capitalist system. Lastly, therapy is incredibly taxing! My energy is fully devoted to my clients in sessions. Showing up energized and attentive often means seeing fewer clients in a day- quality over quantity!

I have a 24-hour cancellation and rescheduling policy. This means that if you’d like to cancel or reschedule over 24-hours in advance, no problem! However, if you cancel or reschedule within the 24-hour timeline, you will be charged the full session fee.

Therapy sessions are held online via a HIPAA compliant platform called SimplePractice for clients in New York and Ohio. If you’d like to meet in-person in Ohio, please reach out to me!

I’m licensed to work with clients in New York and Ohio. This means that I can only work with clients that live in those states.

I wish there was a direct answer to this question! There is no “one size fits all” approach. Each person is incredibly unique, so therapy looks different for everyone. It is also dependent on the number of goals you’d like to set and your willingness to work through them.

If you are uninsured or insured but self-pay, you have the right to receive a GFE for services. This estimate may change as the treatment progresses and is not a guarantee of treatment, length, frequency, or cost. If estimates or services are added or changed, you will receive a new GFE.
