Insurance InformationSprouting Minds Counseling uses Headway to support insurance billing. You can check here for an estimate on how much your insurance would cover.
If I am not in-network with your insurance plan, you may still be able to receive reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits. I’m happy to provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance provider. Because coverage varies by plan, I recommend checking with your insurance company about your out-of-network benefits.
Private PayI offer private pay options for clients who are uninsured or who prefer not to use their insurance benefits for therapy.
Initial Intake Assessment: $175
Individual Therapy Session: $150
Choosing private pay can offer an added layer of privacy and control over your therapy experience. When you pay directly for services rather than using insurance, your care does not need to be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement or coverage.
Growth starts with a first step.

Payment Payment is due at the time of service. Clients are responsible for any portion of services not covered by insurance, including applicable copays, coinsurance, and deductibles.
A credit or debit card is required to be kept securely on file for payment processing. We accept credit cards, debit cards, and HSA/FSA cards.
Cancellation PolicySessions are by appointment only. The time scheduled for your appointment is assigned to you and you alone.
If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, please provide 24-hours notice. You will be charged $100 for missed sessions or for those cancelled without 24-hour notice, except in medical emergency. Insurance will not pay for missed sessions.
No Surprises Act and Good Faith Estimate
Notice to clients and prospective clients:
Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during treatment.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, or how to dispute a bill, see your Estimate, or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
