How to begin

  • If you are interested in exploring therapy with me, I offer a brief complimentary phone call or you may contact me via email - whichever you are most comfortable with.

  • If we decide we are a good match, we will schedule our initial session/assessment to discuss your current stressors and struggles, get some background history and discuss how therapy could be helpful for you. If I believe that another provider may be a better match for your specific needs, I will be happy to provide you with some referrals to help you connect with another therapist.

  • Before our initial session I will send you directions on how to access my private and secure client portal where you can read my practice policies and sign off electronically on necessary consent forms and pay invoices.

Rates

  • Individual therapy sessions: 50-60 minutes - $150

    *A reduced rate may be offered in instances of financial need and depending if I have available reduced rates spots open.

Payments

  • I do not accept insurance. I am no longer in-network with any insurances. Fees may be paid by all major credit cards, checks, cash, and HSA/FSA cards.

  • I am a self pay practice, which protects client privacy, frees you and I from insurance restrictions and allows me fair compensation for my time and services.

  • If you’d like to seek reimbursement from your insurance, I can provide you with a “Superbill” which contains treatment codes and can be submitted to your insurance company for possible full or partial reimbursement, but you will need to submit and follow up for any reimbursement questions or concerns. Please call and explore your personal insurance plan to get more information about your specific plan and benefits.

  • I do not call insurance companies or submit bills at all. Unfortunately, insurance companies often don’t respect the time and value of mental health providers and I have purposely made the decision to cut ties with them.

Additional Info

  • My office is located in the heart of downtown Dover, NH at:

    The Washington Street Mills, 1 Washington Street, 4th Floor, Suite 4117.

    There are usually plenty of metered spots available and a couple of free visitor spots in the lot.


Good Faith Estimate

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

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.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

  • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
