Investing in therapy may feel difficult when you’re used to putting others first. But therapy isn’t a luxury—it’s like medicine, not an optional supplement. While vitamins may boost your health, medicine is essential when it comes to truly addressing the problem. Therapy goes deeper than just managing your overwhelm or anxiety; it helps you heal and find lasting balance. When you feel drained, resentful, or like you’re running on empty, it’s a sign that your emotional well-being needs more than just surface-level care. By prioritizing therapy, you’re choosing the help that gets to the root of the issue, allowing you to not just survive but thrive in both your personal and professional life. Taking this step isn’t indulgence—it’s necessary for you to keep showing up for others and, most importantly, yourself.
can i use my out-OF-network (oon) benefits if you don’t accept my insurance?
Your health plan may still cover a large portion of your therapy costs if you have “out-of-network” benefits for mental/behavioral health. Look up your plan details (specifically under the out-of-network Mental Health Outpatient Services). If you don’t have out-of-network benefits, consider switching to a plan that does during the Open Enrollment period. I will be working with Mentaya, a platform that helps clients get money back on out-of-network therapy sessions. If you have out-of-network benefits, Mentaya will file claims and handle the insurance paperwork to make sure you get reimbursed. They charge a 5% fee per claim and have helped people get thousands of dollars back per year. You can sign up using this link:

Note: Mentaya's goal is to save you time and money. It's completely optional, and as your therapist I do not benefit in any way from your participation.
CAN I USE HSA, FSA, OR HRA?
Health Savings Accounts (HSA’s), Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA’s), and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA’s) can be used to cover the cost of therapy and often decrease the cost of treatment significantly.
good faith estimates
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
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 800-985-3059.
