Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get reimbursed for therapy sessions by my insurance? 

If you have out-of-network benefits as a part of your PPO plan, your insurance company may reimburse you for a percentage of each session. Use the tool above to verify your out-of-network benefits with your insurance provider.

Should you choose to use out-of-network benefits, you are responsible for paying the full fee up-front at the time of service. You can choose to have Mentaya, a service provider I partner with, to submit all of your out-of-network claims for you (a 5% fee will apply ONLY if they successfully complete your reimbursement), OR you can be provided with a receipt (called a “superbill”) that you can submit to your insurance company yourself.

The benefits of Mentaya are that, in addition to submitting claims for you, they also follow up with the insurance company to correct and resubmit each claim should there be any delays or denials.


*Note: if doing intensive work (2-3 hour sessions) - insurance may only partially reimburse for one-hour per day or per week, depending on your plan.

How much does therapy cost? 

Session Fees (EMDR, Talk Therapy, Adjunct EMDR):

·      45-minute session = $150

·       85-minute extended session = $285

·       30-minute add-on (to an 85-minute session) = $100

Note that Intensive EMDR sessions are typically 85 minutes or longer to allow you more access to your therapist for quicker progress.

Online EMDR Intensive Package @ $2250 includes:

With an EMDR Intensive, you get to “skip the line” and gain significant access to your therapist for several hours of therapy in one week. Intensive work has been known to accelerate progress as you give concentrated time and effort into your healing journey.

  • One  85-minute intake assessment where we get to know each other and prepare for your week of intensive treatment. You will receive a workbook to complete before this session so we can dive in and discuss what will be most essential and beneficial for you. This typically occurs prior to the

  • Two 3-hour intensive sessions (in the same week) where we directly engage in the work of EMDR to address your main concerns. Within the 3-hour sessions there will be two 10-15 minute breaks as needed.

  • One 85-minute closing session where we review progress, identify areas needing further support, connect you to support in your area, and discuss if any more intensive work is needed.

Evenings (after 5pm) and Weekend Intensive hours are premium services and are offered at a higher rate. An Intensive package with Two 3-hour sessions and an 85-minute pre and 85-minute post-session is a total of $2650.

Please note: if doing an intensive package (which is multiple sessions in one week) - insurance may only partially reimburse for one session per day or per week, depending on your plan. This means that weeklong intensives are almost entirely paid out-of-pocket.

What if I can’t make it and have to cancel a session?

If you cannot attend a scheduled session, you must call to cancel at least 48 hours before the session. Without a 48-hour notice, you will be charged the full fee for the missed session. Late cancellations and no-shows make it difficult (or impossible) to schedule someone else who needs services in the canceled slot. If I need to cancel a session, I will notify you as soon as possible and make every attempt to reschedule the appointment for a convenient time.

I know it can be overwhelming to take that first step and call a therapist, but I’ll make it easy. We’ll spend 15 minutes on a phone or video consult, and I’ll let you know how or if I can help. If I am not the right person, I’ll do my best to provide an appropriate referral.
