Out of pocket sessions are $150 and last 50 to 55 minutes. Sessions are offered both in-person or virtually through a HIPAA compliant platform.

I am contracted to offer in-network coverage to clients with Aetna, Oscar, and United HealthCare insurance through a partnership with Headway.

Journey to Wellness Counseling will submit the necessary documentation for you to you insurance company. If you choose to use your insurance benefits, I will need to provide a diagnosis to your insurance company. This diagnosis and treatment record becomes part of your health insurance record.

I am out- of network with all other insurance companies. To use your out-of-network benefits, you will pay the cost of the session upfront and I can provide you with a receipt, also known as a Superbill. The Superbill may be used for reimbursement from your insurance company. A Superbill does not guarantee that you will be reimbursed. For more information regarding your mental health benefits, please contact your insurance provider directly. 

Sessions are usually scheduled on a weekly basis to foster the development of the therapeutic relationship and to facilitate progress on therapeutic goals. The therapist and client may decide to increase or decrease the frequency of sessions based on individual needs and progress. As the client makes progress, sessions are usually decreased.

Unfortunately, insurance does not pay for missed sessions. Part of the therapeutic process is maintaining a dedicated time for you and other clients so that sessions can be consistent. A fee will be charged for missed appointments or cancellations without 24-hour notice. Cancellation fees must be paid before additional services can be provided.

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

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

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.

I am happy to offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to answer any questions you may have about starting therapy and my practice style. This also allows us to briefly discuss why you are seeking services, what you are hoping to get out of our time together, issues surrounding insurance and payment and setting up an initial assessment. Our conversation will also allow you to discover if you think we may be a good therapeutic fit. Once this phone consultation is completed I encourage you to fill out all the intake documents prior to our session. This allows us to spend our first session on you and not your paperwork.
