What is Therapy?

Psychotherapy, or mental health therapy, is a collaborative process where we will work to together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe and supportive environment. To learn more see About Therapy.

What types of therapy do you provide?

I provide mental health therapy in the form of individual sessions (one-on-one counseling) for adults living in Colorado.

How do we meet?

I offer sessions online via Telehealth as well as in-person at my clinic office on 401 Mason Ct., Fort Collins, Colorado.

How much do sessions cost for private/ self-pay?

The first appointment, or intake session, is $275 and individual sessions thereafter are $185. For more information about the differences in appointment types see Appointments. This is the cost both for clients who want to use their out-of-network benefits by submitting claims to their insurance for reimbursement and for private-pay and self-pay. Payments can be made with American Express, Discover, Mastercard, Visa or a Health Savings Account.

Do you accept insurance?

In addition to self-pay, I reserve a certain portion of my availability for clients who are unable to afford services other than going through insurance. I am currently in-network and, if I have openings, am accepting clients with Aetna, Carelon Behavioral Health, Optum, Oscar Health, Oxford, Quest Behavioral Health, Select Health, United Healthcare, and United Healthcare Medicare Advantage insurances. Book a consultation to find out if there are any current openings for paying directly with insurance.

What if I my insurance is out-of-network -or- I am self-pay and I want to see if my insurance will reimburse me?

I can help provide a superbill of services that you can then submit to your insurance to request reimbursement. See this resource for more information about superbills.

Where are you licensed?

I am a licensed Psychologist in Colorado (#0006323). Due to licensure laws, I am only able to provide services to clients who are physically within Colorado at the time of the appointment.

What do I need to know about Telehealth appointments?

While Telehealth (video conferencing or telephone) offers greater flexibility, it is important to consider some key logistics to enable a smooth and confidential experience.

Make sure you have the technology needed to have a Telehealth session, such as a phone, computer or tablet with video and audio capabilities and strong internet connection.

Find a space and choose a time when you can be free of outside distractions or interruptions. For example, while it may be tempting to have sessions while multitasking of driving, this not only detracts from the therapy process but is dangerous if the session interferes with your ability to safely drive. Instead, choosing a time and place in which you do not have other demands on your attention is critical to getting the most out of the therapy.

An important element of therapy is feeling able to discuss sensitive topics knowing that you are in a private and confidential space. For this reason, you will want to make sure that you can join Telehealth sessions in a private space in which you will not be overheard or interrupted.
