Services, Fees & Insurance
Counseling & Therapy Services
I am licensed in the state of Oregon and offer individual, in-person therapy sessions for adults at my SW Corvallis office.
My standard sessions are 50-minutes.
Fees
50-minute session: $185
Session fees are due at time of service. I accept payment via cash, check, and debit or credit card, including FSA (Flexible Spending Account) and HSA (Health Savings Account).
Insurance
I am considered an out-of-network provider. As an out-of-network provider, I am happy to provide you with a monthly superbill for you to submit to your insurance company to then be reimbursed for the previous month’s session fees that qualify as out-of-network services. Please note - providing a superbill requires me to give you a mental health diagnosis which will be added to your medical record.
Questions you can ask your insurance to get clarity on out-of-network reimbursement:
Does my plan provide out-of-network reimbursement for mental health treatment with a licensed clinical social worker?
Does my plan provide out-of-network reimbursement for grief counseling, bereavement counseling, grief therapy?
What amount or percentage is reimbursed for out-of-network mental health treatment with a licensed clinical social worker?
Is there a cap on the number of sessions you will reimburse?
Is there a deductible I need to meet before you will start to reimburse me?
Unable to pay the full fee of counseling & therapy services?

No Surprises Act and Good Faith Estimate
The No Surprises Act is a federal law that went into effect on January 1, 2022. The No Surprises Act was designed to protect people from unexpected medical bills.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
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.
