Insurance & Reimbursement

We are accepted by all health insurance carriers as an Out-of-Network provider.

Call to check but we are currently accepting:

• Cigna
• Blue Cross Blue Sheild

We accept various Employee Assistance Programs

You may also choose to involve your insurance company to provide partial reimbursement through Out-of-Network benefits. We can provide you with a receipt/superbill containing appropriate DSM diagnosis codes to submit to your insurance. Please verify your current insurance benefits before planning to use this form of partial-payment.

Cancellation Policy
If you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment, and you have not notified us at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session.

We are happy to provide you with a detailed receipt to help you seek reimbursement from your insurance company. You may want to contact your insurance provider to ask if your plan has “out-of-network mental health benefits” and get details about your coverage. In addition, you must qualify for a mental health diagnosis in order to have insurance reimburse you for treatment. Insurance generally does not cover relationship/marriage counseling.

On the back of your insurance card, there should be a toll free number for questions related to your mental health benefits. When calling, be sure to check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:

How do I access my out of network benefit?
What are my mental health benefits?
What is my deductible and has it been met?
How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?

Does my plan cover Online Counseling or TeleMental Health?
How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?
What is the usual and customary amount for a therapist in my state?
Is approval required from my primary care physician?

If you are seeking face-to-face services I work with First Sun EAP and APS Healthcare EAP/Workplace Options to provide services.

Seeking therapy is an individual choice and there are many reasons why people make the decision to come to therapy. Therapy can help address many types of issues including depression, anxiety, conflict, grief, stress management, and general life transitions. Therapy is right for anyone who is interested in getting the most out of their life by taking responsibility, creating greater self-awareness, and working towards change in their lives.

The initial session for all therapy services will take place online and is a chance for you to get a feel for your therapist’s style and make sure that it is a “good fit” for you. During the first session your therapist will ask many questions regarding what brings you to counseling, what your expectations are, and information about your emotional, behavioral and relationship history. If this is your first time meeting with a therapist, it is normal to have some apprehension about the initial session. We understand that and will do our best to help you feel at ease.

In general, the law protects the confidentiality of all communications between a client and a therapist. Information is not disclosed without written permission. However, there are number of exceptions to this rule.

        Exceptions include:

• Suspected child abuse or dependent adult or elder abuse. The therapist is required by law to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
• If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person’s. The therapist must notify the police and inform the intended victim.
• If a client intends to harm himself or herself. The therapist will make every effort to enlist their cooperation in ensuring their safety. If they do not cooperate, further measures may be taken without their permission in order to ensure their safety.

Yes, but my availability for face to face sessions is very limited.  These sessions are held in my Fort Mill SC office.  Please contact me for further details.
