Rates & Insurance

Private Pay General Rates
$110.00 per 50-minute session

Couples Sessions, Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) sessions (for OCD, Anxiety, Trauma) and Behavior Activation sessions may be submitted to your insurance. Due to the length and time intensity needed for these services, Insurance + copay will be billed along with a self-pay component for sessions.  Please ask me about this.

Phone and Telecounseling sessions are available on a case by case basis, for clients who live out of the Milwaukee/Waukesha area, or who have limited mobility, child-care concerns, or pet care concerns, etc. Phone and Telecounseling sessions are available by private pay only. Group sessions price varies according to length of session. Please feel free to call me if you have additional questions or concerns.

Insurance Information:

Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance plan. Please call your insurance carrier prior to your initial appointment, in order to check your benefits, and ensure that I am a covered provider in your network. You can find the customer telephone number on the back of your insurance card. Please verify with your insurance that you have a behavioral health benefit, your deductible amount, the amount left on your deductible, and your co-pay amount. If I am not a covered provider in your network, you can set up a private pay system. I may also be able to work with your insurance to become a covered provider in your network.
