Our sessions will be

  • Personalized

    Our initial sessions will be dedicated to exploring your history through learning about your attachment history and experience of traumatic life events, assessing your current needs, strengths, and goals, and creating a personalized plan to support you in achieving these goals.

  • Meaningful

    Everyone has pain points when it comes to our past and present. I’ll work closely with you to help you identify those past or present experiences impacting your current quality of life and help you to heal unresolved wounds through a variety of strategies, such as through EMDR therapy.

  • Integrative

    Since achieving wellness and trauma healing is more than just through talk therapy, we will explore various mind and body healing strategies that could be beneficial to you, such as group therapies, holistic healing methods such as yoga, meditation, art and music, mindfulness training, somatic healing strategies, and more.

FAQs

DO YOU OFFER A VIEW OF YOUR OFFICE SPACE?

See below a gallery view of my office space where in person sessions are held at 4950 York Road, Suite 2C2, Buckingham, PA 18912. My hope is that this space will feel comfortable and safe for you.

Do you Accept Insurance?

I am not currently in network with any insurance companies which means I cannot accept insurance directly at this time. I would be happy to provide a superbill for you which can be submitted to your insurance company for out-of-network benefits reimbursement.

Why dont you accept insurance?

At this time, I choose not to accept insurance as I aim to view each person and their treatment needs individually and insurance companies can at times dictate terms of treatment, such as length or number of sessions permitted, which may interfere with a client’s treatment goals. I believe the complexity of clinical work I hope to achieve with my clients is best completed through the mutual decisions of client and therapist, without parameters set by outside parties such as insurance providers.

ARE YOUR SESSIONS OFFERED VIRTUALLY OR IN PERSON?

All of my therapy sessions are held virtually through a HIPAA-compliant video platform through Simple Practice, or in-person in my office location at 4950 York Road, Suite 2C2, Buckingham PA 18912.

What is Your Fee for Services?

In my practice, I charge $150 for a 55-minute therapy hour. As requested, I am able to offer 90-minute sessions for extended trauma processing for $225 per 90-minute session or $300 per 120-minute session, which is most useful in EMDR therapy. I do offer sliding-scale pay options when there is a financial need. Details regarding sliding scale options can be discussed during the free 15-minute consultation.

How DO Out of network benefits work?

Clients pay the whole cost of the session up front via credit card kept on file via their unique Simple Practice Client Portal. Then, if eligible with their insurance plan, they can submit the superbills for the therapy sessions directly to their insurance companies and may be reimbursed a percentage of the fee for the sessions in the superbill. Typically, clients must first meet their deductible in order to be eligible for out of network reimbursements. Individual deductibles can vary widely, and each client is encouraged to check with their insurance provider to discuss out of network benefit options.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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.

If you believe you’ve been wrongly billed or for more information about your rights under Federal law, you may visit: www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
