I am currently offering services via Telehealth for residents of Colorado until further notice. I utilize a HIPAA-compliant virtual platform that is compatible with phones, tablets, and computers.

Additionally, after an ongoing clinical relationship is established with a client, in-person outdoor sessions can be discussed for fit, clinical indications, scheduling needs, changes in pricing if accommodating outdoor work outside my typical practice area of Fort Collins, CO, etc.

Finally, a sheltered meeting space is coming in 2024. I am currently working on sorting out the logistics of this option and hope it will be in place in January 2024. This meeting option will be in Fort Collins, CO.

My fee is $150 for a 50-minute session.

Although 50-minute sessions have become the default in my field and I offer weekly 50-minute sessions, I generally schedule bi-weekly clients for sessions of 60+ minutes and only schedule outdoor sessions as 60+ minutes.

The frequency of sessions is dependent upon your specific needs and goals, as is the designated amount of time allotted for session.

In some cases, Clients are better served by sessions of different lengths (i.e. two 30-minute sessions weekly, extending weekly or bi-weekly sessions to 90 minutes or 120 minutes, etc.).

In these cases, the cost of each session is prorated based on the same scale from the $150/50-minute session (i.e. 30-minute sessions are charged at $90, 60-minute sessions charged at $180, etc.).

The initial paperwork I provide you will include a Fee Schedule that discloses fees for any services I consistently offer in my practice.

Finally, recommended duration of treatment or therapeutic relationship with me is also dependent on your specific needs and goals.

I offer a limited number of reduced-rate slots of $100 for a 50-minute session for those needing this flexibility to access ongoing mental health support.

Additionally, I offer a limited number of Open Path Collective, sliding scale slots. These slots often fill up quickly and are offered on a first-come-first served basis for those showing need.

Please feel free to reach out about these offerings. If I am unable to accommodate you, I am happy to offer the names of colleagues who may better be able to support your needs.

Currently, all my reduced-rate and Open Path slots are full.

Payment is due at the time of session. I accept all major credit cards. For the convenience and privacy of my clients, I utilize a HIPAA-compliant card processing service (IVY Pay) which does not require I know your card information and also allows for the use of HSA/FSA cards. New clients will be sent a link allowing them to put a card on file prior to the beginning of the first session.

I do not accept, bill or work directly with any insurance plans at this time. I am not in-network with any insurance plans.

Out-Of-Network Insurance Options

For clients who have insurance policies with out-of-network benefits and wish to seek reimbursement from their insurance company, I am able to provide a superbill (a detailed receipt including all information typically requested by insurance companies when submitting a claim).

In these instances, clients work directly with their insurance company, submit the out-of-network claim themself, and receive reimbursement directly from their insurance company, should the service be approved and covered.

I cannot guarantee any insurance company will cover our work together or at what rate they may reimburse you if they do cover our work together. Further, I cannot guarantee the timeline of reimbursement by the insurance company

Seeking to use your Out-of-network insurance benefits may help make therapy more financially accessible. However, there are many factors to consider in determining if this approach is right for you. For help exploring if using Out-of-Network benefits is right for you, review common concerns found here.

If you are considering seeking reimbursement from your insurance plan through out-of-network claims, I encourage you to contact them prior to starting therapy. This guide of suggestions and questions may be helpful during your call.

Clients enrolled in Colorado Medicaid plans are required to be seen by providers who are contracted with Medicaid for any services that are considered covered by Medicaid.

Colorado Medicaid is called Health First Colorado, and a covered individual belongs to one of six regional organizations within that network. Those six regional organizations are Colorado Access; Colorado Community Health Alliance; Health Colorado, Inc; Northeast Health Partners; Rocky Mountain Health Plans; or Denver Health Medicaid Choice, and which regional organization an individual assigned to is often determined by the individual’s home address.

I am NOT a contracted Medicaid provider and therefore cannot provide any covered psychotherapy services to individuals covered under Medicaid.

For a list of Medicaid providers, contact your regional organization for their current network of contracted providers. 

For additional support or information about this coverage and network providers check out the Health First Colorado Regional Organizations site.

Federal Notice Beginning January 1, 2022

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical 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 bill for medical items and services prior to receiving 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 like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

~Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare 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.For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call the Colorado Division of Insurance at 303-894-7490 or 1-800-930-3745.

Due to this new Federal Law, it is the policy of my practice to provide all new Clients with a Good Faith Estimate prior to the official start of services after a consult (unless requested prior to officially initiating services).

The Good Faith Estimate provided to new clients is based on the agreed upon treatment plan (frequency of sessions, session length, etc.) and provided for the remainder of the calendar year. Changes to treatment plan & Client needs results in a new Good Faith Estimate being provided for the remainder of the calendar year. Ongoing Clients are provided with a new Good Faith Estimate at the start of each calendar year.

The Good Faith Estimate I provide you is not a contract and does not require you to obtain from me the services listed on the Good Faith Estimate.
