I offer a brief 15 minute initial phone consultation to determine fit, discuss services, and answer general questions. This consultation is not a clinical service and does not involve assessment or treatment. We may then proceed to schedule an appointment for the agreed upon service. Following this conversation, you will receive intake paperwork and informed consent documents to review prior to your first appointment.

Fees vary depending on the type of service provided (third-party reproduction consultation, parent consultations, or psychotherapy). Rates are discussed in advance, so you have a clear understanding before beginning services. Detailed fee information is provided during the initial consultation and is also outlined in the practice policies.

I am an out-of-network provider and do not directly bill insurance. This allows for greater flexibility, privacy, and continuity of care. Upon request, I can provide a monthly superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your plan.

If you are interested in working with me and would like your insurance company to reimburse you for some or all of your costs, please contact your insurance provider directly to determine your coverage. Some questions you may consider asking are:

– Do I need a referral from a physician before I can receive therapy or counseling?

– Will my insurance cover intended parent consultations?

– Does my insurance cover “out-of-network” providers?

– What is my deductible?

– How much will my plan cover for each session?

– Is there a limit on the number of sessions per year or the amount of fees reimbursed per calendar year? 

Consultations typically include a clinical interview, psychosocial assessment, psychoeducation, inclusive of report or clearance letter for the referring IVF clinic, agency, or donor bank. The scope and requirements are reviewed in advance to ensure clarity and alignment with clinic guidelines.

Psychological consultations and evaluations required by IVF clinics, agencies, or donor banks (such as intended parent, donor, or recipient consultations) are typically not covered by insurance and are self-pay services. This will be reviewed clearly prior to scheduling.
