Rates & Insurance

I offer therapy that’s thoughtful, affirming, and grounded in deep clinical training—without being limited by insurance constraints.

The Value of Specialized Care

Your fee reflects more than just time in the therapy room. It supports care from a highly trained, specialized provider—and a therapeutic space that’s fully yours.

  • A doctoral-level psychologist with advanced clinical training

  • Rare expertise in body image and eating concerns in men

  • Personalized therapy tailored to your goals, not a manualized approach

  • Time spent beyond sessions: treatment planning, documentation, consultation

  • A secure, private, and affirming space—free from diagnostic gatekeeping

  • A relationship grounded in presence, preparation, and real engagement

Therapy isn’t just a service—it’s an investment in your clarity, healing, and growth.

Session Rates

  • Initial Intake (60 minutes): $300

  • Ongoing Individual Therapy (55 minutes): $250

I reserve a small number of sliding scale spots based on financial need. If cost is a concern, feel free to reach out—we can talk through what’s possible.

Insurance

I am currently in-network with:
– Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts
– Aetna

I’m currently in-network with Optum and Point32 Health but will be transitioning off those panels soon. If you’re covered under one of those plans and considering starting therapy, feel free to reach out—we can discuss timing, options, and how to use out-of-network benefits moving forward.

Using Out-of-Network Benefits

Many of my clients use their out-of-network (OON) benefits to receive partial reimbursement for therapy. I’ll provide a monthly superbill that you can submit to your insurance provider to offset the cost of therapy sessions with me.

If you’re unsure whether your plan includes OON coverage, see the guide below for a quick script and key questions to ask your insurance company. It’s an easy way to clarify your benefits before getting started.

  • Optional script:
    “Hi, I’m planning to work with an out-of-network licensed psychologist for individual therapy. Can you tell me if my plan offers reimbursement for out-of-network mental health providers?”

    If they say yes, ask:

    • Do I need pre-authorization or a referral from my PCP?

    • What is my deductible for out-of-network mental health services, and has it been met?

    • Once I meet my deductible, what percentage is reimbursed per session?

    • How many outpatient sessions are covered per year, and how long can they be?

    • Are the following CPT codes covered, and at what reimbursement rate?
      – 90791 (initial intake session)
      – 90837 (60-minute session)
      – 90834 (45-minute session)

    • How do I submit a superbill for reimbursement, and how long does it usually take to process?

  • A superbill is a detailed receipt I provide that includes everything your insurance company needs to process an out-of-network reimbursement claim—like session dates, CPT codes, diagnosis codes, and fees.

    I provide superbills on a monthly basis, and you’ll be responsible for submitting them directly to your insurance provider. Most clients submit them through their insurer’s online portal or app.

    If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, you may be able to receive partial reimbursement for each session, which can significantly reduce your total out-of-pocket cost for therapy.

  • If you’re ready for focused, personalized care without the limitations of insurance, private pay therapy gives you exactly that. It allows us to work at your pace, on what truly matters to you—without diagnosis requirements or session limits.

    Many clients find that paying privately creates a deeper level of commitment to the work and a stronger sense of ownership over their growth. If you're looking for therapy that’s truly tailored, consistent, and centered on your long-term well-being, this is an investment worth making.

  • A "good faith estimate" is a document provided by a healthcare provider that outlines the expected charges for a scheduled medical procedure or service, given to patients who are uninsured or not planning to use insurance to pay for their care, essentially acting as a pre-bill detailing what they can anticipate paying for their treatment. 

    If applicable, I will send you a good faith estimate prior to your intake session.
