I do not take insurance at this time, and most of my clients pay out-of-pocket and then submit super bills to their insurance carriers for at least partial reimbursement for out-of-network services. Clients receive documented good-faith estimates for costs of services according to the 2022 No Surprises Act, which was created to protect people from surprise medical fees/costs. Limited spots for sliding scale fees are available.
