    Therapy Fees and Investment for
         Virtual Therapy in Bolingbrook, Illinois

           Private Pay Therapy for Women Seeking Specialized Support

Investment: 

My standard fee is $175 for a 60-minute session.  If I’m unable to accommodate your financial needs, I’m happy to help connect you with resources or referrals that may be a better fit.

Payment is due at the time of the session, and clients are responsible for any fees incurred if their insurance company denies a claim.  We accept all major credit cards, Venmo, Zelle and check payments. 

 

Do you accept insurance?

I am an in-network provider with the following insurance companies:​

  • Aetna

  • Cigna 

  • United Healthcare 

I am in the process of depaneling from these insurance companies, however I can continue to treat you until my end date.

 

What should I do if I want to use insurance to pay for therapy?

Insurance coverage can be confusing, and benefits vary depending on your specific plan. Deductibles, copays, and coinsurance amounts may differ from person to person. The best way to understand your coverage is to contact your insurance company's member services department using the phone number on the back of your insurance card. Here are some questions you can ask:

Does my plan cover specialist/behavioral telehealth appointment?

Do I have a copay for each session or a deductible?

Do I need prior authorization for specialty services?

What is my anticipated out-of-pocket expense for a specialist telehealth appointment?

The pitfalls of using insurance to pay for therapy

Insurance-based therapy is often focused on treating symptoms related to a mental health diagnosis and may be more short-term in nature. While this can make therapy more accessible, it may not always allow for deeper work around relationships, identity, personal growth, or preventative care.

Private-pay therapy offers greater flexibility, privacy, and a more personalized approach tailored to your unique goals and needs.

​If you plan to use your insurance benefits for therapy, we encourage you to contact your insurance company directly. It's important to verify your benefits in advance, as you are ultimately responsible for any portion of the fees not covered by your insurance plan.

What if you don't accept my insurance?

​​I’m happy to provide a monthly superbill that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Many clients are able to receive partial reimbursement—your insurance company can tell you more about your out-of-network mental health benefits.

 

Why work with an out-of-network therapist?

  • More freedom in your care​

  • There are no session limits, so we can meet at a pace that truly supports you—without worrying about insurance ending coverage unexpectedly.

  • Personalized, flexible support

  • Working out-of-network allows me to offer care that’s intentional and tailored to your unique needs, rather than shaped by insurance requirements.

  • Increased privacy

  • Your diagnosis and therapy notes aren’t shared with insurance companies, helping protect your confidentiality.

  • Fewer billing surprises

  • Without insurance involvement, there’s less risk of sudden coverage changes or unexpected charges that could interrupt your care.​​

  • Our work is guided by what’s best for you—not by what insurance companies approve.
