I am an out of network provider, and I do not accept any insurance. See below for questions to ask your insurance provider.

I offer sliding scale options. Please call or fill out the contact form to inquire.

Even though it can become the most wonderful decision, first reaching out can feel the most difficult.

I’m happy to have a conversation with you to help discuss if I am a good fit for what you are currently seeking. Call for a free 15-minute phone consultation or fill out the form below for information about receiving my services.

Questions to ask your insurance provider

Here are some questions to ask your insurance company about coverage for art therapy.

  • What are my out-of-network mental health benefits?

  • Do my mental health benefits cover art therapists/art psychotherapists? (Important to emphasize that art therapy is a form of psychotherapy)

  • What is the coverage amount per psychotherapy session?

  • How many psychotherapy sessions does my plan cover per calendar year?

  • What is the out-of-pocket payment before I reach my deductible?

  • Is approval required from my primary care physician?

Good Faith Estimate

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 anynon-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.
