Therapy Fees
Free 15-minute consultation
This 15-minute consultation is to provide you with an opportunity to discuss your current experiences and determine if I am the right psychologist for you.
Standard Therapy:
$295 per 55-minute session (diagnostic assessment and weekly therapy)
Intensive Therapy:
$495 per 55 minute-session (twice weekly therapy)
Intensive therapy is designed for individuals who cannot afford to wait weeks for progress. This format, twice-weekly 55-minute sessions, is structured for high-demand professionals managing acute or complex presentations where maintaining functioning is a priority. Intensive therapy is not appropriate for all presentations and suitability is determined collaboratively at intake. The Intensive Therapy format allows for a higher level of care than standard therapy.
Coaching Fees

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
INSURANCE
Do you accept insurance?
I am out-of-network with all insurance plans. However, I provide "super-bills" at the end of each month, which you can submit to your insurance company for partial reimbursement. Please check your out-of-network benefits with your insurance provider to better understand what reimbursements might be available to you. You will likely be able to get some of the session fee reimbursed by your insurance provider. For some insurance plans, it can be challenging to find an in-network provider who you think is a good fit. Out-of-network benefits are one way for you to be able to work with the psychologist who is right for you, while still defraying some of the out of pocket costs.
Does insurance cover financial wellness coaching?
No, unfortunately, insurance benefits cannot be applied to financial wellness coaching. This is because financial wellness coaching is distinct from therapy. In financial coaching, we do not make diagnoses or offer treatment for mental health conditions. As such, your mental health treatment benefits do not apply.
WHERE DO I NEED TO BE WHEN WE MEET?
For both therapy and coaching, I ask that you be a in a private location where you can speak freely. When we meet remotely, I ask that you have your camera on and be ready to use HIPAA-compliant Zoom.
What states do you provide therapy in?
For therapy, I am fully licensed in both Massachusetts and North Carolina. Because of my NC license, I am part of the PSYPACT agreement, which allows me to practice in more than 40 states. Click here for the most up-to-date list of states participating in PSYPACT. You need to be physically located in either MA or a PSYPACT state at the time we meet, even via telehealth.
What states do you provide financial wellness coaching in?
For coaching, we are able to meet in any state because financial coaching is not subject to the same licensure requirements as therapy, and financial coaching is not therapy.
Of course, it is important to note that these services are different and the focus of our work is naturally different as well. Although we can work together from any state, financial wellness coaching does not treat mental health diagnoses. If you are interested in receiving treatment for mental health diagnoses, and are not located in MA or a PSYPACT state, I suggest you find a licensed clinical psychologist in your state.
