I am currently in-network with most commercial Aetna and Cigna plans in both Colorado and Illinois. I am also in-network with BCBS PPO plans in Illinois, but am not in-network with Anthem/BCBS in Colorado at this time.
In all other states, I am an out-of-network provider. This means I do not contract with insurance providers in states other than Illinois and Colorado. I can provide you with superbills to provide to your insurance company, which can help you obtain reimbursement for services (see FAQ about superbills).
Due to Medicaid policies, I am not able to render services to anyone who is a Medicaid recipient. Similarly, I am unable to render services to anyone who is a Medicare recipient at this time. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

For patients who are not in network with Aetna or Cigna in Illinois or Colorado or BCBS of Illinois PPO plans, intake assessments (the first appointment), I am considered an out-of-network provider.
Payment is due at the time of service, and can be paid via credit card, FSA, or HSA. My fees are similar to other doctoral-level providers. Please reach out to inquire about my fee.

If you have out-of-network mental health benefits, I can provide you with a superbill to give to your insurance company. In doing so, many people (particularly with PPO plans) are able to receive partial reimbursement for my services. Just like with in-network care, there is often a deductible that must be met before your insurance company will start reimbursing you for out-of-network services.
I cannot guarantee that your insurance company will reimburse you. Please contact your insurance company if you have questions about whether you have these benefits. Questions to ask your insurance company:
Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
Are telehealth services covered?
Is there a deductible I need to meet before I can get reimbursed for my out-of-network therapy services? If yes, how much of that deductible has been met this year?
What is my out-of-network coinsurance for mental health?
Does my plan limit how many sessions I can receive?
Is there a maximum cost per session you reimburse a percentage of?
Do I need written approval from a physician (e.g., primary care doctor) for sessions to be covered?
How do I submit claims for out-of-network reimbursement?
Your insurance company may also want to know what billing codes I may use. They are as follows: 90791, 90837, 90834, and 90832. Telehealth services are coded with a ‘95’ modifier.

Most sessions take place via a HIPAA-compliant video platform (online therapy that is secure and private).
I also have limited in-person availability on Wednesdays at my office in Denver (825 E Speer Blvd, Suite 215).
-
I require 24 hours notice for cancellations. If a session is not canceled with at least 24 hours notice, or you do not show up to a session, I reserve the right to charge the full session fee.

Duration of treatment varies based on your therapy goals. For example, if someone comes to therapy to treat insomnia, and they do not have other goals, treatment will likely be very brief (2-8 sessions). If someone comes to therapy to treat postpartum anxiety, treatment will likely be longer (6-12 months). All of this varies by person, so we will assess your symptoms throughout treatment to ensure the duration of therapy is appropriate for you.
