One of the first questions most people have about therapy is: how much does it cost, and will my insurance cover it? Here's everything you need to know about working with me.
Session Fees
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Individual therapy (55 minutes) | $110 |
| Group therapy for women with ADHD | Contact for current pricing |
Insurance
I am a private-pay therapist and do not bill insurance directly. This is a deliberate choice — it allows me to keep sessions focused on your actual needs rather than what insurance will cover, and it protects your privacy (insurance-billed diagnoses become part of your permanent health record).
However, many insurance plans offer out-of-network (OON) benefits for mental health services. If yours does, I can provide a superbill — a detailed receipt you submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Depending on your plan, you may be reimbursed for a significant portion of the session cost.
How to Check Your Out-of-Network Benefits
Call the member services number on the back of your insurance card and ask:
- "Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?"
- "What is my out-of-network deductible, and has any of it been met?"
- "What percentage of the allowed amount do you reimburse for outpatient psychotherapy (CPT code 90837)?"
- "Do I need a referral to see an out-of-network provider?"
Is Therapy Worth the Cost?
This is a real question and worth taking seriously. For many women with ADHD, untreated or under-treated ADHD costs far more over time — in lost jobs, strained relationships, health impacts from chronic stress, and years spent struggling with shame and self-doubt. Therapy that actually addresses the root patterns — not just surface-level coping tips — tends to have lasting effects.
That said, $110 per session is a real number. If cost is a barrier, please mention it when you reach out. I maintain a small number of reduced-fee spots and will always be honest with you about what I can offer.
