Frequently Asked Questions

  • The cost of a therapeutic session hour (50 minutes) is $135. I do have a few spots for lower cost sessions that are based on qualifying income and availability.

  • I am an out-of-network provider and do not accept any insurance. I can provide a superbill each month, which is a document you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement.

  • I am currently only offering virtual services. You may do your telehealth appointment from anywhere, as long as you are physically located in the state of Kansas or Texas. Please ensure you are in a private place, or you may be asked to reschedule.

  • I ask that you let me know 24 hours ahead of a scheduled appointment if you need to cancel. If 24 hour notice is not given or you do not show to your appointment by fifteen minutes past the start time, you will be charged the full session fee. I completely understand that emergencies happen and will take those events into consideration before charging.

  • I wish I had a magic crystal ball to be able to guarantee how many sessions you’ll need, but everyone who comes to therapy is different. We’ll make a treatment plan together based on your goals and discuss how frequently we should meet.

  • I offer a ten-minute consultation at no cost before we commit to working together. This helps us ensure we have the potential to be a good fit and that I am equipped to help you in your unique situation. I’m not the right therapist for everyone (I wish!), and in those cases, I’ll give you referrals and a direction of where to go to get closer to what you need.

  • LMFT stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. LMFTs approach problems in a systemic way, meaning that we look at our clients in context of the many systems you are a part of (family, workplace, culture, etc.) rather than seeing someone’s problems as strictly internal. With this, our work is not only limited to couples and families, but applies to individuals just as well.

  • Due to state licensing and telehealth rules/regulations, I am unable to accept therapy clients outside of the state of Texas or Kansas, including virtual clients. Clients must be physically located in Texas or Kansas during the time of their virtual sessions (exceptions are very rare, even if you are only temporarily out of state).

    The exception to this rule is if you are seeking ABC (Attachment Biobehavioral Catch-up) services from me, which is separate from therapy and can be done virtually if you are in another state.

  • Under the recent passing of the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate from your health care provider.

    Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

    You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

    Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

    If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

    Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

    For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
