Rates, Insurance & Common Questions

Therapy works best when the practical questions are answered up front. Here is everything about cost, insurance, and how sessions work, so the only thing left to decide is when to start.

Rates and payment

You do not need insurance for us to work together. The self-pay rate is $200 for the initial intake appointment, which runs 75 minutes, and $150 for following sessions. Before you commit to anything, I offer a free 15 minute consultation, a brief conversation about what brings you in and a chance to see whether we are a good fit.

Insurance

I am in network with major plans that include:

  • Aetna
  • Cigna
  • Johns Hopkins Health Plans
  • Optum (commercial plans)
  • Surest
  • UMR
  • United plans

Insurance participation can change, so please confirm your specific plan when you reach out. If I am not in network with your insurance but you receive out of network benefits, I can provide a monthly superbill that you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.

Who I work with

I provide individual one on one therapy for adolescents and adults, ages 14 and up. Sessions are available in person at my office on Allegheny Avenue in the heart of Towson, or by secure video for clients located anywhere in Maryland.

Common Questions

Common questions.

How long are sessions?

The initial intake appointment is 75 minutes, and standard sessions run between 45 and 55 minutes.

How often do we meet?

It depends on your goals and needs. When you first start treatment, we will want to meet once a week to build momentum together and make progress toward your goals. Many clients keep the weekly rhythm until they are ready to discharge, while others move to every two weeks or monthly once they are making good progress.

What happens at the first session?

The first session is a conversation, not an interrogation. We talk about what brings you in, what you hope will be different, and your goals for therapy, and together we determine the approach that fits you best.

Is what I share confidential?

Yes. What you share in session is confidential, with narrow exceptions required by law that I will explain clearly before we begin. Please avoid including private health information in your first email or booking message.

Do you offer online therapy?

Yes. In addition to in-person sessions at the Towson office, I offer secure video sessions for clients located anywhere in Maryland. Many people mix the two, coming into the office when they can and meeting online when life gets busy.

Do you offer evening appointments?

Yes. Evening sessions are available Monday through Thursday until 8:00 pm.

The first conversation is free.
