Good Faith Estimate

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

Under the law, healthcare 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 healthcare 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 an out-of-network provider, and I do not take insurance as a direct form of payment. I will provide you with a superbill at the end of the month that you can attempt to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. I encourage you to speak to your insurance company to determine reimbursement for out-of-network providers.

Therapy is a unique experience for each individual, therefore, it is difficult to predict how long therapy will take. Generally, it can take about 3-6 months of weekly sessions before individuals feel strong in the skills they have learned. I will work with you to create a treatment plan that is realistic and timely, keeping in mind the cost of therapy to you.
