Sliding Scale & Insurance
Sliding scale & reduced-fee slots
Divorce is expensive, and the bills rarely arrive at a convenient time. I offer a flexible sliding scale based on financial need, because therapy is an investment and not everyone has the same resources at the same moment. If my standard rates aren’t accessible for you, reach out and we’ll figure something out.
I also hold a limited number of reduced-fee slots through Open Path Collective, a nonprofit committed to affordable therapy. Availability there is limited and changes over time — my Open Path profile shows whether I have an opening at the moment.
Why I don’t work with insurance
Mental health care shouldn’t be dictated by profit-first corporations or the bureaucratic hoops of insurance companies. Therapy, more than anything else, should be personal, meaningful, and rooted in real human connection.
Insurance requires a mental health diagnosis for reimbursement, sets limits on care, and in some cases requests access to treatment notes. I believe in therapy that is private, flexible, and shaped by your needs — not by a system that prioritizes numbers over people.
Common Questions
Do I have to be divorced already?
No. People start at every stage — considering a separation, in the middle of proceedings, freshly separated, or years past the final paperwork. Attachment disruption doesn’t follow the legal timeline, and a good deal of what I see surfaces well after the case is closed.
Is this the same as mediation or a custody evaluation?
No. This is clinical therapy. I don’t mediate agreements, conduct custody evaluations, serve as an expert witness, or write letters intended for use in a custody proceeding. The work assumes the legal questions are being handled elsewhere, by the people qualified to handle them.
Can my co-parent and I do this if we barely speak?
Often that’s exactly the reason to start. Co-parenting work doesn’t require the two of you to feel warmly toward each other. It requires both people to show up and to keep the child’s experience as the shared reference point. We can talk on the consultation call about whether that’s realistic right now.
Do you work with children directly?
Parent–child reconnection work involves the parent and child together, with the focus on the bond between them rather than on treating the child individually. Whether a particular child is a good fit for online sessions depends on their age and what’s going on — that’s one of the first things we sort out on a consultation call.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. I am legally and ethically bound to protect your privacy. Information shared during sessions cannot be disclosed without your written consent, except when there is an imminent risk of harm to you or others. In parent–child and co-parenting sessions, everyone in the room hears what is said, so confidentiality protects the session as a whole rather than creating secrets between participants.
How long will this take?
It depends on what brought you in and where in the process you are. Individual adjustment work is often more focused and shorter than people expect. Parent–child repair and co-parenting work tend to run longer, because they involve rebuilding a pattern between people rather than shifting something inside one person.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you are unable to attend a session, please cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, I do have to charge the full rate of the session.
Can I use out-of-network benefits?
If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill so you can seek reimbursement. It’s important to know that insurance will still require a diagnosis for reimbursement, and that information will be logged in their system — but we will be setting our own parameters for your treatment.
Good Faith Estimate — Notice to Clients
Under the No Surprises Act (effective January 1, 2022), you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit cms.gov/nosurprises.
