Frequently Asked Questions

I conduct all of our sessions virtually (online) as if we’re in an office environment via a secure HIPAA compliant platform.  It is a very easy and reliable system. You will receive a secure link directing you to a video-secure platform to begin our session 24 hrs before your appt time.  With EMDR, I use a secure HIPAA compliant BLS (Bilateral Stimulation) platform.

Sessions are only available to adult residents of Ohio and Arizona.

Each session is about 45-55 minutes depending on the service being provided.

I do not take insurance. I’m considered as an  “out-of-network” provider.  I can provide you with a super bill that you can submit to your insurance company if your insurance offers out of network benefits.  Please contact your insurance plan to obtain more details regarding this coverage.

I do not offer sliding fee scale rates.

Intake: $ 180.00

Individual session: $ 140.00

Payment is due at time of service. We accept Debit Cards, Credit cards, Flex Spending Accounts, and Health Spending Accounts.

Once your appointment is scheduled, you will be expected to pay for it unless you provide at least 24 hours advance notice of cancellation.  If you do not provide at least 24 business hours notice, or fail to show for a scheduled appointment, you will be responsible for full cost of a session.  Please note, if you do not attend within 15 minutes of your scheduled appointment time, this will be a no-show appointment.

I do not.  All sessions are conducted virtually (online) via a secure HIPAA compliant platform.

Under the No Surprises Act (H.R. 133 – effective January 1, 2022), health care providers need to give clients or patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

  • This Good Faith Estimate (GFE) shows the costs of items and services you can reasonably expect for your health care needs. 

  • You have the right to receive a GFE for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. 

  • The GFE does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You may experience additional charges if complications or exceptional circumstances occur. 

  • If you receive a bill at least $400 more than your GFE, you may dispute or appeal the bill.

    • You may contact the health care provider or facility listed to let them know the billed charges are higher than the GFE. You may ask them to update the bill to match the GFE, negotiate the bill, or ask if financial assistance is available. 

    • You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days (about four months) of the date on the original bill. 

    • There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on this GFE. If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the health care provider or facility, you will have to pay the higher amount. 

  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a GFE within the following timeframes:

    • If the service is scheduled at least three business days before the appointment date, no later than one business day after the date of scheduling;

    • If the service is scheduled at least ten business days before the appointment date, no later than three business days after the date of schedule; or

    • If the uninsured or self-pay client requests a GFE (without scheduling the service), no later than three business days after the date of the request. Healthcare providers must supply a new GFE within the specified timeframes if the patient reschedules the requested item or service.

Note: A Good Faith Estimate is for your awareness only and does not require immediate financial commitment or payment.
