THERAPY & TREATMENT FOR SOCIAL ANXIETY

My rate is $190 per session.

You can also use your HSA/FSA card.

I am considered an “Out-Of-Network” provider, which means I do not accept any insurance directly.  I’ve made the decision to work directly with my clients regarding payment, and they are very satisfied with this arrangement.

If you would still like to use your insurance, then you can potentially do so if your insurance plan has “Out-Of-Network” benefits. The way that would work is, you would pay for therapy at the time of the session, and then I will provide you with a “superbill” that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

I would recommend calling your insurance company to confirm if your insurance policy has OON benefits for mental health services.

Otherwise you can choose to see me privately and not involve your insurance at all. See why many of my clients choose this option below.

Most of my clients actually prefer to work with me privately and not involve their insurance at all. This is because in order to use your insurance for counseling, a mental health diagnosis is required, and this gets attached to your record. If your challenges don’t meet the threshold of a diagnosis, then insurance companies can choose not to cover your therapy.

-Insurance can put limitations on the number of counseling sessions you can have, prior to truly completing the process.

-An insurance company has a right to call the therapist and ask how sessions are going

-At any point they can say that therapy is no longer medically necessary and cancel the coverage

And by not taking insurance, I’m able to maintain a smaller caseload of clientele and devote all of my focus into helping people.

Instead of taking hours each week going back and forth with insurance, I devote that time and energy to my clients, resulting in better outcomes for therapy.

If you have more questions about this, or have questions about finding your OON benefits and would like to discuss, then I recommend reaching out to me on my contact page and I’d be happy to answer any questions.

When doing Brainspotting therapy, your anxieties are reduced gently using the body’s natural capacity to heal itself rather than talking about it in circles; which can be re-traumatizing for many people. Brainspotting is an incredibly effective brain-body therapy approach that uses one’s field of vision to address blocks and stuck experiences in the subcortical part of the brain. Brainspotting is one of the most effective treatments for trauma and PTSD. It can also be used for enhancing creativity, expanding performance abilities and overcoming creative blocks.

Unlike talk therapy, Brainspotting takes less time and tends to be more focused. Some issues can be healed remarkably fast in two or three sessions. Others take longer needing 5, 10, or 20 sessions. Even if it takes longer, the amount of time taken is a fraction of that taken with traditional talk therapy and the healing continues beyond the time frame of the therapy session.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me catching up on a NYT article, coaxing my family to take a trail walk with me, attempting a new recipe in the kitchen or squeezing in time with friends. I am also a podcast junkie, a mango lover, wanna-be plant lady, a cheating vegan and an old soul.
