Starting therapy, minus the mystery

Sessions are $100 for 50 minutes, collected through Ivy Pay, a secure, HIPAA-compliant payment app. I accept cash, credit, debit, HSA, and FSA payments. The initial 15-minute consult is free.

I am not currently in-network with insurance companies, so clients pay directly. If your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, I will provide a superbill you can submit for possible reimbursement. Check your specific policy before counting on it.

A superbill is an itemized receipt with the codes insurance companies need. You pay me directly, submit the superbill to your insurer, and if your plan has out-of-network benefits they reimburse you a portion. Call the member number on your card and ask about out-of-network outpatient mental health coverage.

Under the federal No Surprises Act, self-pay clients have the right to a written Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before starting care. I provide one to every new client. My pricing is simple and published, so your estimate will look a lot like this page.

We meet by secure video through my practice platform. You need a private-ish space, a device with a camera, and an internet connection. You must be physically located in Ohio during our sessions, which I will confirm at the start of each one.

I see young people ages 10 and up, teens, adults, couples, and families, all via telehealth anywhere in Ohio. For children under 10, in-person play therapy is usually the better fit and I am glad to point you toward it.

We talk. You share as much or as little as you want about what brings you, ask me anything, and get a feel for whether I am your person. No paperwork, no obligation. If I am not the right fit, I will help you find someone who is.

Honestly, it depends on what we are working on. Some people come for a season around a specific challenge, others stay longer for deeper work. We will check in on progress regularly, and you can stop any time. My goal is your growth, not your permanent attendance.

Yes, with the legal exceptions every therapist has: risk of serious harm to yourself or others, suspected abuse or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult, and court orders. I will walk through exactly what confidentiality covers before we begin.

No. You need a reason that matters to you, and 'I want my life to feel different' counts. If a diagnosis becomes relevant for treatment or reimbursement, we will discuss it together first.
