Are you taking new clients? No, I am not taking new therapy clients through the website. I currently practice with referrals from clients and colleagues only. I do appreciate your interest in working with me, however, and happy to provide referral options of other trusted clinicians in the community. Please use the contact form HERE if you would like information for other providers.
What is your fee? Individual / couple therapy session (50 mins): $140
How frequent are sessions? Although each client is different, I often see clients every week or every other week. As progress continues, sessions are transitioned to a less frequent schedule. Clients are always a part of the decision making in determining frequency of their visits and we talk about that openly as we go.
Do you take insurance? No, I do not accept insurance. I can provide you with a detailed receipt, upon request, to submit to your medical insurance company for out of network benefits. Please note: A mental health diagnosis will need to be declared on your receipt for your insurance company to deem counseling services medically necessary and, therefore, eligible for reimbursement.
Do you offer supervision for therapists? Yes, I am an approved supervisor and offer individual, dyadic and group supervision for clinicians seeking the LPC/MHSP credential in Tennessee. Click HERE for more information about supervision services and availability.
Are you available for speaking events? Yes, I have enjoyed participating in guest interviews for television, radio and podcasts. I have also had the pleasure of being a repeated guest speaker for graduate level counseling courses at the University of Tennessee.
No Surprises Act Information Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges. 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
