Late Cancellations
Consistent attendance to therapy sessions, greatly contributes to a successful outcome. If an appointment is missed, or canceled with less than 24 hours notice, you may be charged half of the agreed upon fee for that missed session. Exceptions may be made if you are sick or have an unavoidable emergency.
Insurance
I do not currently accept insurance. However, I would be happy to provide a bill for services that you may send to your insurance company to collect out-of-network reimbursement for your counseling sessions. Please check with your insurance company prior to our first session to identify their out-of-network policy. You are responsible for all correspondence with your insurance company. I am not an active Medicaid Provider and therefore may not provide services to clients who use Medicaid as their primary insurance.
Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services or call the Colorado Division of Insurance at 303-894-7490 or 1-800-930-3745.
FAQs
How long does therapy take?
Learn More
Sessions are scheduled in 50 minute or 75 minute appointment blocks based on your needs.
Due to the complexity of each client’s unique situation, I cannot predict the exact length of therapy or guarantee a specific outcome. Personal growth and change may be easy and swift at times, but may also be slow and frustrating.
Some clients might only attend a few sessions while others may attend therapy for a few years. I believe therapy is complete when you have accomplished your current goals.
Is counseling private?
Learn More
Yes! Confidentiality is the core to successful counseling. Your information is protected both legally and ethically.
However, there are times that a counselor legally has to break confidentiality and share your personal information. These include: risk of harm to yourself (i.e., suicide), risk of harm toward others (i.e., homicide), or child or elder abuse. In rare instances, your information may have to be released with a court order or subpoena.
How do you handle mental health emergencies?
