Payment

Salt Psychotherapy is a self-pay practice, which means payment is due at the time of service. While I do not participate directly with insurance plans, many clients are able to use their out-of-network benefits to receive partial reimbursement for therapy services.

As a licensed therapist, I can provide a superbill upon request. A superbill is an itemized receipt that includes the information your insurance company may require to process an out-of-network claim. Clients can submit this document directly to their insurance provider to request reimbursement for services.

Because every insurance plan is different, reimbursement amounts and eligibility can vary. While some clients receive reimbursement for a portion of their session fees, reimbursement cannot be guaranteed. If you are planning to rely on reimbursement, I encourage you to contact your insurance company before beginning services to verify your out-of-network mental health benefits, deductible requirements, and reimbursement rates.

I choose not to work directly with insurance so that therapy can be fully tailored to your individual needs. Insurance companies often place limits on the type, frequency, and duration of treatment they will cover, which can make it difficult to provide long-term support or specialized approaches, such as EMDR, when they are most beneficial. Working privately allows us to focus on your goals and clinical needs rather than the requirements of a third-party payer.

Many clients also appreciate the added privacy that comes with self-pay services. Insurance companies typically require a mental health diagnosis in order to cover therapy, and that diagnosis becomes part of your medical record. By choosing self-pay, you have greater control over your healthcare information and treatment decisions.

This approach allows therapy to move at a pace that feels right for you, whether you are seeking short-term support for a specific challenge or longer-term work focused on deeper healing and personal growth. My goal is to provide personalized, ethical care that prioritizes your well-being, safety, and therapeutic progress.

Session Fees:

  • Initial Intake/Assessment: $175 (75-90 minutes)

  • Standard Individual Therapy: $150 (50-60 minutes)

Aetna & Tricare:

While my practice primarily operates on a self-pay basis, I do accept Aetna insurance through Headway. All insurance verification, billing, scheduling, and claims processing for Aetna clients must be completed through Headway's platform. I am also a TRICARE-authorized out-of-network provider, which may allow eligible clients to seek reimbursement for services. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on individual plan benefits and eligibility.
