The office
You have made this important decision to pursue therapy as an investment in yourself, your relationship, or your family. I strive to honor that investment not just by providing you the highest standard of care, but also by creating a space that is welcoming and nurturing to the healing process.
Big News! I am in process of moving to a great new location. It’s less than a mile away from my prior office, but is even more tucked away from traffic noise. Pictures will be coming soon once I’m all settled in to my new home away from home!
rates & Insurance information
When considering the cost and investment of therapy, it can be helpful to keep in mind that there are often ways to make therapy manageable within your budget, similar to any health-related service. Current rates are as follows:
15 Minute Phone Consultation- Free
50 Minute Session- $140
80 Minute Session- $215
*Some slots reserved for reduced fee clients based on need and availability. There may be a wait time to get into a reduced fee slot due to demand. Please feel free to inquire regarding availability if you are experiencing hardship.
Insurance Information
Orlando Wellness & Psychological Services does not currently accept insurance. However, you may still be able to utilize your insurance benefits if your insurance plan has out-of-network benefits or if you have a medical spending/healthcare savings account. I do not bill insurance companies directly, but I am happy to provide detailed receipts that you could submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Please note that I cannot guarantee your coverage or reimbursement. I encourage you to discuss these options directly with your insurance provider, as out of network coverage varies from plan to plan.
I am happy to be of help as much as possible during this process in order to understand your coverage.
Are There Any Benefits to Paying Out of Pocket for Services?
We can get started with less of a wait time and meet consistently. The timeframe to get in for appointments can be more manageable in a setting like this, as I have full control of my caseload without influence from any third party to take on more clients than is reasonable.
We can collaboratively determine the best treatment plan to address your needs. When insurance is utilized, the insurance carrier may limit number of sessions allowed, or limit coverage based on their definition of "medically necessary" treatment. Working outside of contracted obligations with insurance companies allows you to take full ownership of your goals without artificial constraints.
Your confidentiality is respected to the fullest extent of the law and ethical standards when you pay directly for services. When insurance pays for mental health services, your diagnosis and information regarding treatment progress become part of your health record. When you pay out of pocket, there is greater personal control over who has access to information regarding past or current mental health treatment.
Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions.
