Use your Out of Network Benefits

As a Thrizer provider, I am able to submit your Out of Network claims for you. This means… after your deductible has been reached you are only responsible for your copay at the time of each session.

I also offer “pay what you can” groups for those who may not be able to afford therapy and are looking to learn new skills & build community.

As of 6/1/2025:

All reduced rate slots are being utilized at this time. Please inquire about a reduced rate waitlist if needed.

I have decided to no longer contract with insurance companies for several reasons…

1. I believe the therapist and client are the most qualified to determine what type, duration and frequency of treatment is most appropriate in real time.

2. Unfortunately, health insurance companies are notoriously inconsistent when paying out their providers. With frequent claim denials and unexplained month-long delays, relying on health insurance companies has become unsustainable for my practice.

3. Insurance companies simply do not pay fair rates to their contracted providers. So, while insurance companies get paid more each year by raising premiums, copays and deductibles… therapists do not receive any increase in pay. This can create a toxic working model for therapists, requiring them to treat a very high number of clients per week to earn a livable wage. This ultimately increases burn out for therapists and impacts the quality of care clients receive.

4. Setting my own rates allows me offer reduced rate therapy to individuals who cannot afford therapy. I’m passionate about continuing this practice to ensure access to quality mental health care is not only possible- but equitable.
