We are not on any insurance panels (HMO or PPO). Many PPO plans will cover a portion of your treatment through your “out of network” benefit. We will furnish you with a receipt that you may submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Plans vary and it is important that you check your coverage carefully.

Questions to ask your insurance company to help determine if our services are covered are: What are my outpatient mental health benefits?

Therapy requires a two-way commitment from therapist to client and vice versa. Most therapists have a cancellation policy in which they charge the full fee for a cancellation occurring less than 24-48 hours prior to the appointment. Other therapists have a “no cancellation” policy. They require that their clients commit to pay for the reserved time. In this case, the therapist may provide some options when an appointment cannot be kept, such as having a phone session or rescheduling the session.

In general, the law protects the confidentiality of communications between a client and psychotherapist. The information you share in therapy will not be communicated to others without your consent except where disclosure is required by law.

Disclosure may be required in the following circumstances: (1) Where there is reasonable suspicion of child or elder abuse; (2) Where there is a reasonable suspicion that the client presents a danger of violence to others; or (3) where the patient is likely to harm him/ herself unless protective measures are taken.
