  • A Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is a document provided by therapists to clients, detailing the expected costs of therapy services. This estimate is mandated by the No Surprises Act to ensure transparency in healthcare billing.

  • I am in-network with a select few insurance providers, including Optum products such as UBH General, UHC, UMR, Medica Minnesota Preferred, and Medica SelectCare. For all other insurance providers, I am considered an out-of-network provider. In this situation, I am happy to provide you with a superbill upon request, which you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

    If you prefer to pay privately, I also offer sessions on a private pay basis. There are several benefits to private pay, including greater confidentiality and flexibility in treatment options. When utilizing private pay you may seek counseling for personal growth, relationship issues or any reason you wish without the need for a mental health diagnosis given by the provider. Additionally, private pay clients often have more control over their treatment, as they are not bound by insurance company requirements or limitations.

    If you have any questions about payment options or insurance coverage, please don't hesitate to reach out to me for assistance.
