Equitable Pricing, Transparency, and Insurance

Figuring out how to pay for therapy can feel confusing—you're not alone in that. I'm committed to supporting both individual and community healing, and that includes helping you navigate your options with clarity and ease.

This FAQ breaks down insurance, self-pay, and the benefits of each so you can make the choice that feels right for you.

Self-pay option

    • 50-minute sessions are $135

    • 90-minute sessions are $265

  • Do you offer any reduced-cost options?
    At this time, my reduced-fee slots are full, and I’m only able to offer lower-cost sessions through insurance.

    My pricing model is equity-informed, considering identity, access, and resources, but availability for sliding scale spots is limited. If cost is a concern, I’m happy to help connect you with other providers or resources that may be a better fit.

    We’ll talk more about your needs and ability to pay during our consultation call, so don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or ideas.

  • No diagnosis is required for self-pay clients.

    • While a diagnosis for some can be beneficial, for others it could have its consequences.  It could compromise one’s ability to obtain life, health, or disability insurance.

    No limits placed on treatment.

    • Your goals and treatment will be determined by you and the clinician as a self-pay client. When going through insurance, our choices and treatment options may be limited as insurance determines for us what is considered “medically necessary”. Such limitations may include number and length of sessions, what diagnoses they will cover, and treatment types. These limitations do not always align with your treatment recommendations and inhibits your progress.

    You will have complete privacy.

    • When using insurance, your information (diagnosis, nature of issues seeking counseling, treatment goals, how long the issue has persisted) is all shared with your insurance, anyone involved in processing and handling the claims, and future employers.

    You can receive the specialized treatment you are seeking.

    • Your ideal therapist may not be paired with your particular insurance, however it will be more beneficial to your mental health to receive short-term treatment and pay out-of-pocket, than to use insurance long-term, with a provider that is not trained in your particular concern.

Using insurance

  • Yes, I’m in network with a couple insurance providers:

    • Aetna

    • Sunflower Health Plan - Kansas Medicaid

    • UnitedHealthcare - Kansas Medicaid

  • Each plan is unique, so you will need to check your plan for coverage details. It is your responsibility to verify your benefits directly with your insurance company to confirm coverage.

  • Your co-pay may be cheaper than the full session fee if your therapist is paneled (in-network) with your insurance company.

  • We can provide a Superbill to clients who wish to submit it to their insurance for reimbursement towards Out of Network benefits. A Superbill is a receipt that contains my business and tax information, as well as your session and billing information. Many insurance plans will reimburse a percentage of your bill for out of network providers. If yours does, you may submit this Superbill to your insurance for reimbursement.

    *Note: Superbills do contain a diagnosis, so if you wish to keep that information private, submitting a Superbill will not be in your best interest.

  • We've partnered with Mentaya, a service that streamlines getting reimbursed for your therapy sessions through out-of-network benefits.

    Mentaya is perfect if you:

    4. You get reimbursed by insurance!

    Mentaya charges a 5% fee per claim, which includes handling any paperwork required, dealing with denials, and calling insurance companies.

    It's risk-free: They guarantee claims are successfully submitted, or a full refund of their fees.
