Rates & Insurance
Service Rates & Fees
If you plan to pay out of pocket, or if you anticipate having a deductible period with your insurance company, please note the fees* below. The time frames below are set by medical CPT Codes for processing insurance claims.
Session Fees:
​
-
$110 (16-37 minutes follow-up session) - brief
-
$150 (38-52 minutes follow-up) - standard
-
$210 (53-60 minutes follow-up) - extended
-
$275 (53-60 minutes initial session) - Intake/Evaluation
​
Phone Calls:
Phone calls that are longer than 15 minutes will be charged as a billable session, as noted by time frames above.
​
Cancellation Fee:
Clients will be charged the full session fee (for example, $150 for a standard 50-min follow-up) for any appointment that is cancelled or missed for any reason. This is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you. This is an out-of-pocket fee. See Cancellation Policy for more info. ​​
​
Late Fee/No-Show Policy:
If you anticipate being more than 15 minutes late and still wish to attend a brief session within the original scheduled time frame (e.g. 30 min), please communicate as soon as possible to request and confirm the change of service. If you are an in-network insurance user, your insurance will be billed for the actual time in attendance. Additionally, you will be charged a late fee of $40, not covered by insurance. If a client is 15-minutes late for an appointment with no communication, the appointment will be considered a “no show,” the appointment will be taken off the schedule, and the client will be charged the standard cancellation fee, not covered by insurance.
​
*Fees and practice policies are subject to annual review and change over time.

Health Insurance
IN-NETWORK
I am an in-network provider with the following plans, which means I have a contract with:
​
-
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBS-IL)*
-
Health Alliance Medical Plans - will cease operating as of January 1, 2026
-
Christie Clinic Employee Health Plan
For the plans above, I will bill your insurance directly for services provided. Depending on the plan, you may be responsible for meeting a deductible, copay or coinsurance amount. It is important to call the phone number on your insurance card to confirm your coverage and out-of-pocket costs.
​
*If you live and work in Illinois but your BCBS employer insurance plan is based in another state, contact me with your insurance card to find out if I am in-network.
OUT-OF-NETWORK
If I do not have a contract with your insurance plan, this means I am "out-of-network." If you have out-of-network coverage you wish to use, I will give you a receipt called a "Superbill" you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. When you check with your insurance plan about reimbursement, these questions will help you understand your out-of-pocket costs:
​
-
Does my plan include reimbursement benefits for outpatient, out-of-network psychotherapy?
-
What is the "allowed amount" for an intake session (code 90791) and follow-up session (code 90834) with a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), and what is my rate of coverage for those sessions?
-
What is my deductible and has it been met?
-
How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?
-
Is approval required from my primary care physician?
