Please click on a link on the Home, About, or Make an Appointment page. It takes you to a secure web page where you create a login, type in your information, and can choose an appointment that best fits your schedule. You will be also assigned paperwork automatically that you can review and sign online. No need to print out anything!
You can manage appointments online, but please remember that I have a 24 hour cancellation policy. If appointments are cancelled in less than that, a cancellation fee applies.
If your child is under the age of 18 years, a parent or a legal guardian has to consent to treatment. The first appointment is for parent(s) only to discuss the needs of your child in depth, make a plan for our sessions, and go over the paperwork and policies for the practice. I will meet with your child starting on the second appointment.
I am licensed to practice Telehealth counseling in the state of Texas and registered in the State of Florida. As long as you are in either state during our sessions, I can see you via video. Insurance typically covers the sessions, but please check with your insurance provider before making an appointment with me.
You can also pay for the session without using insurance. Here are some common fees:
Intake session $160
Individual session $130
Family/ Couples/ Marriage session $160
Evaluation costs varies and an Estimate is given prior to testing
60 minute Video Session $130
A Superbill is provided to you when you pay out-of-pocket that you can file with your insurance company for out-of-network benefits. With the Superbill, you can get reimbursed for the out-of-pocket services according to your benefits.
People who pay out-of-pocket tend to be more motivated to make good use of their time in counseling. This often results in achieving goals faster along with a deeper and more meaningful counseling experience.
While there are laws in place to protect your information, you may feel more comfortable knowing there is not a third-party involved (e.g. insurance company or employer). The more ways you share you personal information, the higher chance of information breach.
It is often time consuming to complete the necessary processes insurance companies require to pay for services.
Insurance companies do require the counselor to submit a diagnosis for the client to be eligible for services/ reimbursement.
I am currently an in-network provider for the following insurance panels:
BlueCross BlueShield PPO
Tricare East (until June 30th)
Multiplan
Private Health Care Systems (PHCS)
Imagine 360
United Healthcare
UMR
Optum
Aetna
Aetna EAP
Interface EAP
In-Network, you typically pay for a co-pay or the full allowable amount per insurance and based on your benefits. Your insurance company is the best source to find out the current benefits you have.
I accept payment by Visa, Mastercard, Discover, check, cash, major debit cards, health and flexible savings cards. I DO NOT ACCEPT AMERICAN EXPRESS!
Do you take my insurance?
You can call you insurance customer service number to find out if I am in-network with your insurance company. See the abovementioned information about the panels that I am currently in network with.
What if I do not use my insurance?
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
Does my insurance cover any costs out-of-network?
Typically insurance covers a portion of the cost out-of-network. Please check with your insurance provider. You can print out statements from your online account that you can submit to your insurance for out-of-network benefits.
What is my copay?
Unfortunately I cannot check your benefits before the appointment. Please call your insurance company to find out what your benefits are.
How long do the Psychological Assessments take?
Currently, I can complete the assessments in 3 to 4 weeks from the initial consultation and have immediate availability.
