I charge $165 per session (inperson or online telehealth).

I can take insurance for Aetna and Quest for Individual Therapy Only.

For Couples and Family Therapy I am considered an "Out-Of-Network" provider, which means I do not accept any insurance directly. I’ve made the decision to work directly with my clients regarding payment, and they are very satisfied with this arrangement.

If you would still like to use your insurance, then you can potentially do so if your insurance plan has “Out-Of-Network” benefits. The way that would work is, you would pay for therapy at the time of the session, and then I will provide you with a “superbill” that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

I would recommend calling your insurance company to confirm if your insurance policy has OON benefits for mental health services.

Otherwise you can choose to see me privately and not involve your insurance at all. See why many of my clients choose this option below.

Most of my clients actually prefer to work with me privately and not involve their insurance at all. This is because in order to use your insurance for counseling, a mental health diagnosis is required, and this gets attached to your record. If your challenges don’t meet the threshold of a diagnosis, then insurance companies can choose not to cover your therapy.

-Insurance can put limitations on the number of counseling sessions you can have, prior to truly completing the process.

-An insurance company has a right to call the therapist and ask how sessions are going

-At any point they can say that therapy is no longer medically necessary and cancel the coverage

And by not taking insurance, I’m able to maintain a smaller caseload of clientele and devote all of my focus into helping people.

Instead of taking hours each week going back and forth with insurance, I devote that time and energy to my clients, resulting in better outcomes for therapy.

If you have more questions about this, or have questions about finding your OON benefits and would like to discuss, then I recommend reaching out to me on my contact page and I’d be happy to answer any questions.

Paperwork takes about 15-20 minutes to fill out. You will need to sign a consent form and submit needed information about yourself prior to your session. This simple form is emailed to you before your session and can be completed online.

During the first session and after introductions, I get right to helping you. You can expect to be asked questions as I get to know you, what you want from the session, and then we start building towards solutions to the things that are most important to you.

I work with couples, families, and individuals who are facing challenging and difficult relationship issues. These often stem from other issues including Attachment, Depression, Anxiety, Physical and Emotional Intimacy, ADHD, Anger, Abandonment, Stress, Disorganization, Neurodivergent Relationships and more.

I use the Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Gottman Couples Therapy approaches. Many will talk for years about your “problem”. I take an approach that is focused on doing something different, increasing what works, and keeping it outcome oriented. This way we do not get caught in the weeds of issues and problems. We cut to the chase and navigate those rough waters with real solutions that we identify together.

Therapy is different for each individual, couple, and family. I do not like to use a “one size fits all” approach, so the real answer to this question depends on the nature of the challenges and problems that we decide to work on together.

My hope is that after each session the individuals, couples, and families I work with go home feeling inspired and encouraged to work on themselves and their relationships. With that view, the answer is “yes, there is ALWAYS homework.” You get out of therapy what you put in. As for me giving assignments, sometimes I may.

Regularly scheduled sessions tend to produce the best outcomes in therapy. This is why most of my clients tend to do 1 session a week. We can do it more frequent or less frequent based on your needs and goals.

I enjoy hiking, camping, hunting and watching my favorite hockey team, the Colorado Avalanche. Most importantly, I love doing all these things with my wife and 2 kids.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients 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 healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. 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, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
