EAP Counseling
I am contracted with over 30 Employee Assistance Programs to provide short-term counseling to clients living in DC, MD, and VA. If your employer offers EAP services as a part of your benefits package, you may be able to meet with me for free for a limited number of sessions. Learn more under the "Payment Options" section below.
Payment Options
I do not accept insurance in my practice and payment is due at the time of service. I accept payment via credit card, debit card, FSA, HSA, Zelle.
REDUCED FEE OPTIONS:
While I do not accept insurance in my practice, I am continuously identifying resources that can help those needing help with financing my services. Please refer to the list below for some options that may be able to help you.
Out-of-Network Reimbursement: I work with clients insured by many insurance companies on an out-of-network basis. My licenses, training, and education qualify for out-of-network reimbursement. This means that most insurance plans allowing members to go out-of-network for mental health will reimburse you for my work, according to the payments they allow. Check the nature of your insurance and what it will reimburse you.
Therapy Vouchers: Many organizations provide vouchers which subsidize a significant proportion of therapy costs. Below are the organizations that I accept vouchers from. Please read more about the programs to determine your eligibility.
HSA/FSA: A health savings account (HSA) and a flexible spending account (or FSA, also called a flexible spending arrangement by the IRS) are both tax-advantaged accounts that allow you to save specifically for medical costs. Both HSAs and FSAs allow people with health insurance to set aside money for health care costs referred to as “qualified medical expenses,” including deductibles, copayments and coinsurance, and monthly prescription costs. In most cases, you receive a debit card for your account and can use it to pay for qualifying expenses. Both types of accounts have tax benefits, too. Check with your health insurance plan to learn what they offer and how to set up an account.
Employee Assistance Programs (EAP): An employee assistance program (EAP) is a work-based intervention program designed to assist employees in resolving personal problems that may be adversely affecting the employee's performance. EAPs traditionally have assisted workers with issues like alcohol or substance misuse; however, most now cover a broad range of issues such as child or elder care, relationship challenges, financial or legal problems, wellness matters and traumatic events like workplace violence. Programs are delivered at no cost to employees by stand-alone EAP vendors or providers who are part of comprehensive health insurance plans. Services are often delivered via phone, video-based counseling, online chatting, e-mail interactions or face-to-face.

Credit Cards: Using a credit card to pay for therapy can be a convenient and cost-effective method for a couple of important reasons: 1) Many credit cards offer 0% APR from anywhere between 12 and 18 months. This means that you can pay your therapy fees over time without accruing interest. Think of it as a self-imposed payment plan. 2) A number of cards also offer cash back rewards. If you're a new card member, some cards will offer up to $300 cash back within the first few months after spending a certain, and others offer between 1%-5% cash back on purchases. This could mean offsetting the cost of 1-2 therapy sessions, along with getting up to $10 back per session!
