Insurance & Fees
I'm in network with most major plans, though which ones depends on where you live. Below is what I currently accept in each state where I work.

Ohio and Minnesota
I'm in network with Spring Health in Ohio and Minnesota. Insurance coverage for counselors practicing under a Compact privilege, as I do in Ohio and Minnesota, is still developing — contact me and I'll tell you where things stand for your plan.
Don't see your plan, or not sure? Reach out anyway. Coverage varies by employer even within the same carrier, and I'd rather check than have you assume you're out of luck. I'll verify your specific benefits before your first session so there are no surprises.
Private Pay
$150 per session. Clients are invoiced on the day of service, payable by card or ACH bank transfer.
Some people choose private pay even when they have coverage, usually for privacy: insurance billing requires a mental health diagnosis on record, and self-pay avoids that. Either way is fine, and we can talk it through before you decide.
If you're on someone else's plan — a parent's or a spouse's — explanation-of-benefit statements normally go to the policyholder, not to you. They don't contain session content, but they do show that services were billed. If privacy from the policyholder matters, private pay avoids it entirely. Ask me before we start and we'll sort out what makes sense.
Out-of-network benefits. If your plan isn't listed above but includes out-of-network coverage, I provide a superbill — an itemized receipt you can submit to your insurer for partial reimbursement. Reimbursement rates and deductibles vary by plan, so check with your insurer about what they cover before you start.
Cancellations and Missed Sessions
Life happens, and I'd rather you tell me than not. Cancel or reschedule with at least 24 hours' notice and there's no charge.
Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice, and sessions you don't attend, are charged $75. Insurance doesn't cover missed appointments, so this fee is your responsibility regardless of coverage.
If something comes up, reach out as soon as you know — call (470) 299-7866 or send a message.
You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your health care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don't have certain types of health care coverage or who are not using certain types of health care coverage an estimate of their bill for health care items and services before those items or services are provided.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any health care items or services upon request or when scheduling such items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
If you schedule a health care item or service at least 3 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 1 business day after scheduling. If you schedule a health care item or service at least 10 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after scheduling. You can also ask any health care provider or facility for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you do, make sure the health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after you ask.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more for any provider or facility than your Good Faith Estimate from that provider or facility, you can dispute the bill.
