Rates & Insurance

Paying privately (out of pocket) is how the majority of my clients choose to work with me. Private pay applies to:

Individual Therapy — range from $150-$250 per session

Couples Counseling — range from $200-$300 per session

Mental Health Coaching & Consultation — range from $100-$250 per session

Immigration Psychological Evaluations

—Full Evaluation — $1000-$1500

— Expedited turnaround (when deadlines are urgent) — $2000-$2500. Check HERE for details.

I intentionally keep private pay at the heart of my practice because it offers you the maximum privacy — your care stays between us, with no diagnosis or records shared with an insurance company.

It also allows me to protect the values this practice is built on: it enables me to offer more pro bono and sliding-scale support to marginalized communities and to continue my activism and advocacy work.

When you work with me privately, you're helping make that possible.

A limited number of reduced-fee and pro bono spots are available based on need and availability — please don't hesitate to ask.

If I'm not in-network with your insurance, you may still be able to get reimbursed for a portion of our work together through your plan's out-of-network (OON) benefits.

Many PPO plans reimburse anywhere from a portion to a majority of the session fee once your out-of-network deductible is met.

Here's how it works with me:

• You pay my private-pay rate at the time of session.

• I provide you with a superbill (an itemized receipt with the codes your insurance needs).

• You submit it to your insurance company for reimbursement directly.

To make this easier, I partner with Thrizer, a service that can verify your out-of-network benefits and, in many cases, handle the reimbursement process for you.

Not sure whether you have out-of-network benefits?

The fastest way to find out is to call the number on your insurance card and ask.

Good questions to ask your insurance: "Do I have out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits? What's my out-of-network deductible, and how much of it have I met?"

If your employer offers Lyra Health benefits, we may be able to work together at no cost to you — your employer covers the sessions.

• Check whether your employer offers you Lyra benefits. If they do, we can get started.

• The number of covered sessions varies from company to company.

• Once you've used all of your covered sessions under Lyra, I offer a discounted rate until your benefits restart — usually (but not always) on January 1st each year.

I am happy to check for you if your company offers Lyra Benefits.

You can either book a free consult with me HERE or email me the name of your company HERE. I will get back to you within 2 business days.
