Superbills & Out-of-Network Benefits
Many people are surprised to learn that their insurance plan may still help cover therapy, even if they don't see an in-network provider.
While I don't bill insurance directly, many plans include out-of-network benefits, which means you may be able to get a portion of your session fee reimbursed. If your plan offers these benefits, I'll provide a monthly superbill (an itemized receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company.
If you're not sure whether you have out-of-network benefits, it's worth calling your insurance company to ask. Here are a few helpful questions:
Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
What is my out-of-network deductible?
What percentage of therapy costs will be reimbursed after my deductible is met?
Do I need preauthorization?
Are services provided by a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate under supervision eligible for reimbursement?
Every plan is different, so reimbursement can vary widely. Some clients receive a significant portion of their session fee back, while others may not have out-of-network coverage. Your insurance company can tell you exactly what your benefits look like. You may be pleasantly surprised!

I do bring Harley to work as an ‘office dog’ a few times a month. She is well trained, socialized and extremely calm. I get written and verbal consent from all clients beforehand and am always happy to leave her at home if you’re not a dog person, have allergies, or simply don’t want the distraction.
