Insurance Participation

I choose to participate in a select number of insurance networks. I do this intentionally so I can provide high-quality care that isn’t limited by restrictive session requirements or administrative constraints. Being selective helps ensure that your treatment plan is guided by clinical need rather than insurer mandates, allowing for thoughtful, flexible, and individualized care.

  • I am currently in network with:

    • Aetna

    • Cigna

    • Oscar (Optum)

    • Oxford (Optum)

    • UnitedHealthcare (Optum)

    • Carelon Behavioral Health

    If you’re unsure whether your specific plan is included, I’m happy to help you verify coverage.

  • If your insurance plan is not listed above, you may still be able to use out-of-network benefits.

    Many plans reimburse a portion of therapy costs even when the provider is out of network. Please visit the FAQ section below for more details.

A Note About Sliding Scale & Accessibility

I believe therapy should be accessible and that financial circumstances shouldn’t be the only factor determining whether someone can receive treatment. If cost is a concern, I encourage you to read the FAQ below and reach out and share what feels financially manageable for you. We can talk together about options and determine whether there is a way to work within your means.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Many insurance plans include out-of-network mental health benefits, which may reimburse you for a portion of your sessions even if I am not in network with your plan.

    You can verify this by calling your insurance company and asking:

    • “Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?”

    • “What percentage is reimbursed?”

    • “Is there a deductible I need to meet first?”

  • Insurance can be helpful, but it often comes with limitations. Many insurance plans require a mental health diagnosis, limit the number or frequency of sessions, or impose guidelines around how treatment must be documented. These requirements can feel restrictive, especially for clients seeking depth-oriented, relational, or trauma-informed therapy.

  • Many clients choose to pay out of pocket because it allows for greater flexibility and privacy. Out-of-pocket therapy is guided solely by your goals and pace, without external constraints from insurance companies. This often supports work that feels more personalized, spacious, and responsive.

  • Paying out of pocket can allow for:

    • Greater privacy, without a diagnosis shared with insurance

    • Flexibility in session length and frequency

    • Treatment guided by clinical need rather than insurer requirements

    • Fewer administrative or documentation constraints

    For many people, this creates space for deeper, more meaningful therapeutic work.

  • In most cases, yes. Insurance companies typically require a mental health diagnosis in order to authorize and reimburse therapy. This diagnosis becomes part of your insurance record. Some clients prefer to avoid this, which is one reason they choose to pay privately.

  • A superbill is a detailed statement I provide that includes the information insurance companies typically require for reimbursement, such as dates of service and billing codes.

    You submit the superbill directly to your insurance company, either online or by mail. They then determine whether and how much they will reimburse you based on your plan.

    Most clients find the process manageable once they’ve done it once.

  • There’s no one right answer. Some clients prefer to use insurance when possible, while others choose to pay out of pocket for greater flexibility or privacy. We can talk through your options together so you can decide what feels best for you and your treatment.
