Fees

Why private pay?

I don't bill insurance directly. This is a deliberate choice, not a limitation.

Insurance-based therapy comes with real constraints: diagnostic codes that follow you, treatment plans that require third-party authorization, and session limits set by someone who has never met you. Choosing private pay means our work is guided by your goals and your timeline — not a billing cycle. And it means complete confidentiality. Nothing goes to a third party.

Session fees

Intake session — $200

Individual session (50 min) — $150

Couples or family session (50 min) — $175

Out-of-network reimbursement

I provide a monthly superbill. If you have a PPO plan, it's worth checking your out-of-network benefits — many plans reimburse a meaningful portion of the fee. Ask your insurance about out-of-network coverage for outpatient psychotherapy (CPT codes 90791, 90834, 90847).

If you want to use in-network insurance (Aetna, Oxford, UnitedHealthcare in NJ/NY), you can find me on Headway. This page is for private pay clients.

Cancellation policy

24 hours' notice required to cancel or reschedule. Less than 24 hours: 50% of the session fee. No-shows: full fee. Genuine emergencies handled individually.

Payment

Credit card or electronic transfer, due at the time of service.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

 Under the law, healthcare providers must provide patients who don’t have insurance or are not using insurance with an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs, such as medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Ensure your healthcare provider provides you with a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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.
