Rates & Payment Options

My practice is founded on the belief that access to mental health care should not be limited by financial circumstances. I offer several payment options to help make therapy more accessible while maintaining a sustainable practice that allows me to pursue further training and support my family. 

Uninsured & Sliding-Scale Options

Pro Bono Therapy
I reserve four pro bono (free) therapy slots year-round for individuals who otherwise could not afford care. All four slots are currently filled. 

Sliding-Scale Cash Pay: $50–$75 per session
Reduced-rate sessions are available for qualifying clients, including:

• Families of four+ with an annual household income below $100,000.

• Individuals with documented income below $20 per hour.

• Students and single-income parents. 

Sliding-scale rates are based on financial need and availability. If I do not have any availablity, please check out openpathcollective.org for a listing of sliding scale therapists. 

Insurance

Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your individual insurance plan, including your copay, deductible, and coverage benefits.

If you have not yet met your deductible, the standard session fee is $150. However, my contracted insurance rates I receive from insurance are typically between $77 and $90 per session, though they may be lower or higher depending on the plan and will not exceed $120. You will NOT be asked to pay the difference between my standard session fee and the contracted rate. (This is called balance billing, and it is illegal in Georgia.) 

Please note: Insurance panel memberships and enrollment status can change frequently. Even if an insurance company is listed as one I accept, I cannot guarantee that I am currently in-network with your specific plan. I may or may not be notified if I am removed from a particular plan. I encourage you to verify your coverage before beginning therapy. 

Depending on your benefits, the self-pay option may be more affordable than using insurance. Superbills are available upon request for clients who wish to seek potential out-of-network reimbursement.

I do not participate in insurance plans that require session recordings or transcriptions as a condition of participation. Protecting client privacy and maintaining appropriate therapeutic boundaries are priorities in my practice. 

Standard Self-Pay Rates

• Initial intake appointment: $150 (one-time fee)

• Individual therapy sessions: $100 per session

Paying the standard self-pay rate helps subsidize reduced-cost and pro bono services for clients with financial need. If you are able to afford the standard rate for your sessions, I sincerely appreciate your consideration of this option. Your support helps me continue offering more accessible care to others. 

Cancellation Policy

I do not charge cancellation fees, because life happens. Flexiblity is important to me. The only exception is a missed appointment without ANY notice (a no-show), for which a $35 fee applies to help cover the cost of reserved appointment time and my time Googling for your obituary and/or mugshot. (For legal reasons, this is a joke.)

Availability & Caseload

I limit my caseload to a maximum of 35 active clients to maintain ethical boundaries, provide attentive and competent care, and allow for the eventuality that all clients might need a session within one week. 

When my caseload reaches capacity, I temporarily close my practice to new clients rather than compromise the quality or consistency of care.

Current status: Not accepting new clients (October 2026).

I offer appointments across six days of the week, with evening and weekend availability. The days vary depending on schedule, so please ask. Appointment availability varies depending on my current caseload.

Thank you for understanding that these limits are intentional and reflect my commitment to providing thoughtful, consistent, and ethical care.
