Do you accept health insurance?
I am in-network for Blue Cross and Blue Shield Indiana, but I can also provide a superbill for my out-of-network clients which may help with reimbursement.
-
When is payment due?
Payment is due at the time of your session.
-
Do you offer a sliding scale?
There are a limited number of slots available for a sliding scale depending on financial need.
-
What is your cancellation policy?
I ask that you give 24-hour notice for any changes to your appointment. If you cancel after the 24-hour window, you will be charged your full fee for the missed appointment. If there is an emergency, sudden illness, or inclement weather, I understand that you do not have control in these situations and we will discuss it.
-
Can I get counseling without having to come your office?
Yes! I offer video sessions (Telehealth) that you can join simply by using your phone, tablet, or computer and clicking on the link your therapist will email to you. It's simple and secure. You can have a face-to-face session without needing to come to the office.

Notice of Privacy Practices
This notice describe how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this information. Please review it carefully.
-
Are there any conditions that would warrant additional treatment providers?
If I discover while working together that you meet criteria for an eating disorder (ED) or substance use disorder (SUD) you will be referred and expected to supplement treatment with specialized providers. ED’s and SUD’s can have detrimental impacts on physical, social, and psychological health. Broadening your treatment team will ensure you are being provided effective and well-rounded care. Recommendations for providers will be provided based on location and financial need.

No Surprise Act
In compliance with the No Surprises Act (NSA) that went into effect January 1, 2022, I am required to notify all healthcare consumers of their federal rights and protections against “surprise billing.” This Act requires that I notify you of your federally protected rights to receive a notification when services are rendered by a non-participating provider and provide options to receive care from an in-network provider if one is available.
-
Can I contact you outside of sessions?
Yes! HIPPA-compliant texting allows for secure messaging to protect your privacy and health information. I use Spruce Health which makes for a convenient and effective communication tool outside of scheduled sessions. You are also welcome to use the portal to communicate with me as needed.
Texting Disclaimer
Please note that I do not provide 24/7 access to clients. Every effort will be made to respond to text messages between the times of 9:00am and 9:00pm daily.
-
Can I contact you in an emergency?
I am unable to provide crisis counseling or assessment. If you or someone you love is experiencing a psychiatric emergency or present as a safety risk to themselves or others please contact a crisis center immediately.
