*You may be eligible to use your Out of Network Benefits, see below…

I am currently a private-pay, out-of-network provider. While I don't accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost.

I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you will only have to pay a copay for our sessions post-deductible, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This typically allows clients to save on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your copay would be.

Here's how it works:

Thrizer is meant to alleviate the financial burden of out-of-network therapy and make the complex world of insurance super simple.

Thrizer works by acting as a payment method that links with your health insurance. You can think of us like a PayPal for therapy.

Your insurance may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will support the cost of medical services that aren't "in-network" with your insurance. ‍We first check to confirm you have out-of-network benefits.

If so, you can save hundreds by paying with Thrizer!

Step 1: Set-up your account

You can sign-up for Thrizer via our website or via a provider invite.

Set up your account by adding in your insurance information and a payment method.

‍Step 2: Pay with Thrizer

Use Thrizer to pay for your out-of-network therapy sessions. Any time you pay for an appointment, a claim is submitted to your insurance directly. ‍All claims are easily tracked from your Thrizer account and managed by our expert team.

Once you meet your deductible (if any) you will only be charged the co-insurance amount for your therapy sessions, rather than paying the full fee.

If you prefer to continue to pay in full and wait for reimbursements, you have that option as well.

  • I am an Out of Network provider, and take all forms of payment, including HSA and FSA. Check the link below to see if you can use your Out of Network benefits for counseling!

  • Therapy is an investment in your own mental health. It is dedicated time to improve your relationships and figure out what works and what doesn’t in your life.

    My rates reflect the quality of work I provide, my experience, and a personalized approach I bring to each session.

    I believe you get what you pay for.

    In addition:

    • Therapists carry the weight of your trauma and emotions, while maintaining their own well-being

    • every session is backed by years of study, supervision, and continuing education to provide ethical, research based care

    • because it is not a quick fix

  • Simply fill out the Contact Me page with your preference in contact methods. I will either call or email you, and if you are ready, you can book an appointment immediately.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE

Beginning January 1, 2022, federal laws regulating client care have been updated to include the “No Surprises” Act. Under the law, healthcare providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services called a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) explaining how much your medical care will cost.
This new regulation is designed to provide transparency to clients regarding their expected medical expenses and to protect them from surprises when they receive their medical bills. It allows clients to understand how much their health care will cost before they receive services. This applies to mental health as well. 

You and your therapist will continually assess the appropriate frequency of therapy and will work together to determine when you have met your goals and are ready for discharge. There are several factors that make it challenging to provide an estimate on how long it will take for a client to complete therapeutic treatment, and much depends on the individual client and their goals in seeking therapy. Some clients are satisfied with a reduction in symptoms while others continue longer because it feels beneficial to do so. Others begin to schedule less frequently and may continue to come in for “tune ups” or when issues arise. Ultimately, as the client, it is your decision when to stop therapy.

The Counseling Studio recognizes every client's therapy journey is unique. How long you need to engage in therapy and how often you attend sessions will be influenced by many factors including:

  • Your schedule and life circumstances

  • Therapist availability

  • Ongoing life challenges

  • The nature of your specific challenges and how you address them

  • Personal finances

​
According to the American Psychological Association, “on average 15 to 20 sessions are required for 50 percent of patients to recover as indicated by self-reported symptom measures." Additionally, through the working relationship between the client and counselor sometimes the preference is for “longer periods (e.g., 20 to 30 sessions over six months), to achieve more complete symptom remission and to feel confident in the skills needed to maintain treatment gains.” 
​
Like any other relationship, it takes time to develop a therapeutic relationship with your counselor and identify your treatment goals, establish a plan of action, and work towards accomplishing them. Whatever your number of sessions will be, we will work together to meet your needs.
