I accept most insurance coverage and am on many of the local managed care panels.  You can call or e-mail me to check to see if I accept your insurance.  As a courtesy I will bill your insurance company for you, and ask that you pay only your co-payment and deductible.  I accept most major credit cards.  Unless other arrangements are made, I prefer that you pay your co-payments and deductible at the time of each session.

To encourage you to find a therapist you feel is a good choice for you, I will not charge you for our first session if you decide not to continue on in therapy with me.  If we do continue, I will charge you for that first session, as well as all subsequent sessions.

If you elect to utilize insurance benefits to pay for therapy, you should know that some otherwise confidential information will need to be released to the insurance company.  this may include, but will not necessarily be limited to, a diagnosis (i.e. depression, anxiety, etc.), and, especially in the case of managed care, can include an initial summary of presenting problems and treatment plan, and subsequent updates on progress being made.  If this is a concern for you we can discuss it during our first session.
