I understand that financial challenges can arise, and I strive to make therapy accessible. I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for clients experiencing financial hardship. Additionally, superbills are available upon request for those seeking reimbursement through their insurance.

I do not accept insurance. However, I strive to make services as accessible as possible and offer sliding-scale options to accommodate various financial situations. Additionally, I provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. If you have out-of-network benefits, you can submit the superbills to your insurance carrier for potential reimbursement according to your plan’s coverage.

Mentaya is a platform that simplifies the reimbursement process for out-of-network therapy services. With Mentaya, you can easily submit your therapy superbill directly to your insurance company through the app. The platform streamlines the paperwork and communication involved in seeking reimbursement, saving you time and hassle. We encourage you to reach out to your insurance carrier or explore Mentaya’s services, as there is a high chance that your insurance does indeed cover out-of-network therapy. Taking proactive steps to inquire about your coverage can help you make the most of your insurance benefits and access the reimbursement you deserve.

There is a high likelihood that your insurance carrier offers out-of-network reimbursement for mental health services. Many insurance plans include provisions for out-of-network coverage, allowing you to seek therapy from providers outside their network and receive reimbursement for all or a portion of the cost.

I encourage you to explore this further through convenient channels such as contacting your insurance carrier directly or utilizing platforms like Mentaya. Mentaya offers an efficient way to verify your insurance benefits and determine your eligibility for out-of-network coverage. By leveraging these resources, you can gain clarity on the specifics of your coverage and the reimbursement process, ensuring that you make the most of your insurance benefits to access the care you need without financial barriers.

I recognize that sometimes unforeseen circumstances arise. To honor your time and accommodate other clients, I kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This advanced notice allows me to adjust the schedule accordingly and offer the vacated appointment slot to another client who may be in need of support.

Appointments canceled within the 24-hour window may incur a charge. This policy ensures fairness to both clients and my practice, as it helps maintain an efficient schedule while respecting the time and commitment involved in providing personalized care. I strive to create a supportive environment where everyone’s needs are met, and your cooperation in adhering to our cancellation policy is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Under the No Surprises Act, all healthcare providers are required to provide clients who are uninsured or self-pay with a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges for non-emergency services. This estimate will outline the anticipated cost of therapy services you receive. While the Good Faith Estimate represents our best projection, actual costs may vary depending on the nature and duration of treatment.

If you have questions about your Good Faith Estimate or would like to request one before starting services, please feel free to reach out. My goal is to ensure transparency and help you make informed decisions about your care.

Outside of therapy, I find immense joy in exploring the world through travel and immersing myself in diverse cultures. Whether it’s discovering hidden gems in bustling cities or finding solace in the tranquility of nature, I cherish the opportunity to connect with others and gain profound insights into the human experience. Embracing new adventures and pushing past my comfort zone fuels my passion for growth and self-discovery. Each journey provides self-reflection, allowing me to uncover new layers of personal insight and resilience.

Ah, imperfections – the beautiful quirks that add depth to our humanity and help us all connect. One “imperfect perfection” I’ve grown fond of is the delicate balance between crafting the perfect routine and gracefully adapting to life’s unexpected twists. Inconsistency creeps in when it comes to setting routines. Despite my best efforts to stick to a plan, there are days when life’s spontaneity takes over, and my carefully constructed schedule goes out the window. It’s a gentle reminder that growth often comes from embracing the unexpected journey rather than clinging to rigid plans.

Moreover, I’ve learned to accept that my brain doesn’t always cooperate with sticking to routines, prompting me to embrace flexibility and listen to my body’s cues. Instead of giving up entirely, I’ve discovered the importance of finding new ways to stay engaged and motivated while still working toward my goals. Through these moments of adaptation, I’ve cultivated resilience, adaptability, and a deeper sense of self-compassion. As I guide my clients through their own paths of self-discovery, I share these lessons with empathy and authenticity, fostering a space where acceptance, growth, and endless possibilities thrive.

My go-to self-care activity involves finding solace in nature. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll along an easy trail or simply basking in the serenity of the outdoors, connecting with the natural world rejuvenates my mind, body, and spirit. Additionally, I enjoy journaling, which allows me to reflect on my thoughts and emotions, fostering a deeper understanding of myself and promoting inner peace.

Absolutely! Two of my favorite books, “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho and “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor Frankl, hold special places in my heart for their profound insights and timeless wisdom.

• “The Alchemist” resonates with me for its powerful message about pursuing our dreams and listening to the whispers of our hearts. Through Santiago’s journey, we’re reminded of the importance of perseverance, courage, and faith in the face of uncertainty. It teaches us to trust in the universe as we strive to fulfill our personal legends. The concept of the Personal Legend in “The Alchemist” is captivating and resonates deeply with me. It tells that each of us has a unique purpose or destiny to fulfill in this world – a calling that beckons us to embark on a journey of self-discovery and actualization.
• On the other hand, “Man’s Search for Meaning” is a deeply moving account of Viktor Frankl’s experiences in a Nazi concentration camp and his subsequent exploration of the human psyche. Frankl’s profound insights into finding purpose and meaning in the midst of suffering are both humbling and inspiring. His emphasis on the power of attitude and the freedom to choose our response to life’s circumstances serves as a beacon of hope and resilience.
