Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is essential. All information shared in therapy is kept confidential and will only be released with your written consent.

There are a few legal exceptions to confidentiality:

• If there is suspected child or elder abuse or neglect

• If there is a risk of harm to yourself or others

In these situations, therapists are required by law to take appropriate steps to ensure safety.

If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance directly. However, many insurance plans offer reimbursement for out-of-network services.

I’m happy to provide a superbill (invoice) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

If you plan to seek reimbursement, it’s helpful to contact your insurance provider and ask:

• Do my mental health benefits cover out-of-network psychotherapy services?

• Do they cover services provided by an art therapist/art psychotherapist?

• What is the reimbursement rate per session?

• How many sessions are covered per calendar year?

• What is my deductible, and has it been met?

• What is my out-of-pocket cost per session?

• Do I need a referral or prior authorization from my primary care physician?

I understand that therapy can be a financial investment. If you are in need of a sliding scale, please feel free to reach out. We can work together to find a fee that supports your access to care.
