Online Psychotherapy*: $275 per 50-minute session
​
I can provide a "super bill" after each therapy session if you'd like to seek out-of-network coverage from your insurance. If you have good out-of-network benefits, your insurance company may reimburse you as much as 80% of each session fee, depending on your plan. I recommend using Thesuperbill.com for free help with out-of-network billing.
​
*For residents of California, Minnesota, Arkansas, and Florida only
Where do sessions take place?
All psychotherapy is conducted virtually over Zoom. All online psychotherapy clients must physically reside in California, Arkansas, Florida, or Minnesota .
​
Are you accepting new clients?
How long does each session take?
I can't afford the cost of therapy, do you offer a sliding scale?
Do you accept insurance?
All sliding scale spots are currently FULL. I will update this section when more sliding scale slots become available. Currently, 50% of my caseload is receiving sliding scale or reduced fee.
I do not accept insurance directly. For therapy clients, I am happy to provide you with a monthly statement so you can seek reimbursement if your insurance provider covers a portion of your out-of-network care. HMO’s do not provide reimbursement for out of network, but PPO providers often cover 60-80% of the cost.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes, I offer free 15-minute consultations to explore if we are a good fit. Currently, my practice is full so I will not be conducting consultations until I have some openings. To get on my waitlist, go here. You can also welcome to email me your questions. I encourage you to read my blog and other media to make sure that the type of therapy I provide is what you are looking for.
​
What to expect at your 15 min consultation: I will introduce myself and offer to give you my "spiel" of general information on my practice or, if you have specific questions you want to dive into, I will invite you to ask them. I will also ask you about what is bringing you to therapy and I'll be curious to know more about you. At the end (around the 13-14 min mark) I will let you know the time is almost over and let you know what the next steps would be: If you want to proceed with therapy, you would choose an available appointment and then I would send you an invitation to my electronic health record to sign intake paperwork, get a credit card own file, and then you're appointments would be confirmed and we would meet at our agreed upon appointment day and time via zoom.
I want to start therapy with you, what is the first step I need to take?
Please check the therapy inquiry page​ for details.
Do I need a formal autism diagnosis to seek therapy with you?
What is your cancellation policy
for psychotherapy?
Not at all! I welcome anyone who identifies as autistic, either self-identified, still exploring the possibility or formally diagnosed.
Can you formally diagnose Autism or ADHD?
Yes. If you reside in Minnesota, Arkansas, or Florida, I can complete a comprehensive Autism and ADHD assessments and diagnose you. These assessments generally take 4 sessions and are billed at my regular psychotherapy rate ($275/hour). I do not offer written reports at this time. If you reside in California, unfortunately the BBS has stated that LCSWs cannot diagnose Autism at this time.
The cancellation policy for therapy is 48 hours advance notice.
Do you offer more than therapy?
Yes! I offer one on one sessions such as coaching and professional consultation here. I also run a monthly subscription-style membership community. More info on the community can be found here. In March 2025, I will be offering a 3-hour training called Adapting Psychotherapy For Autistic Clients.
