Rates, Insurance & Billing Information

Good Faith Estimate Notice

As of January 1, 2022, all therapists are required to post this notice For current and prospective clients.
  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. So you might want to save a copy or photo of your Good Faith Estimate if you get one.

  • For more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, or how to dispute a bill, see your Estimate or www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

Note: Most psychotherapy clients receive regular and recurring services. It may be difficult to estimate the total length of treatment to achieve initial goals. 

  • Under the new federal No Surprises Act, health care providers need to give clients who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy.

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

  • You can ask your health care provider for a Good Faith Estimate before your first session, or at any time during treatment.

Additionally, client goals may change during treatment. With that in mind, a Good Faith Estimate may be provided for recurring services provided within a 12-month period (e.g. the cost of weekly sessions for a year). A new estimate can be provided for additional services beyond 12 months.

Good Faith Estimates may also include a formal DSM diagnosis. For ethical reasons, a formal diagnosis cannot be given without first meeting with a client, so a revised Good Faith Estimate can be provided after assessment. Please talk to me if you have any questions or concerns.
