Frequently Asked Questions
Can I work with you if I do not live in Florida?
Unfortunately, no. I am licensed solely in Florida currently and therefore, even telehealth is bound to licensing laws.
​​​
Do you take insurance?
Yes. I currently accept Aetna, Cigna, United healthcare, Optum/Oscar and Blue Cross Blue Shield policies. Superbills for out of network benefits are also available when applicable.
​​
What are your self pay rates?
Individual therapy session - $160 (50 mins)
Couple’s therapy session - $250 (80 min)
*Sliding scale rates may apply on a case by case basis.
​
What is your cancellation policy?
To cancel a scheduled counseling session, a minimum of 24 hours in advance of your session is required.
If prior and timely notification is not given, you will be charged the full session fee for the missed session.
​
How often do we meet?
There is no rule as each individual or couple is different. Generally speaking, clients benefit most from starting with consistent weekly sessions then eventually doing less frequent, but it depends on the need and goals the client.
​
Is telehealth as good as “in person” therapy?
According to research telehealth can be just as effective, and in fact, many clients prefer it as they find it much more convenient and easier to commit to long term. Telehealth is an ideal option for busy professionals, people who travel for work/leisure often, parents with young children, and clients with physical or mental disabilities that pose challenges to participating in therapy at an office. Each client has to choose what feels right for them and telehealth may not be a good fit for everyone.
​​
Is my information confidential since it is telehealth?
Absolutely. All client information and counseling sessions themselves are only conducted on secure HIPPA compliant platforms.
​
What is a "good faith estimate"?
Every client has 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 clients 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.
