Just as a heads up: I don’t have the capacity to accept new clients at this time. My schedule is super packed! I’m thinking by January 2027 I will be able to schedule new clients!
You can check your insurance benefits here.
**I bill UPMC independently, so the insurance benefit verification tool will incorrectly show “out of network” for some of these plans** If you have a UPMC plan, please reach out via the contact box instead to get started. All other insurance carriers can use the benefits verification tool and register as a client**
I encourage potential clients to reach out to your insurance company directly. For all plans except UPMC, you can use this guide for potential questions to ask, and information to give. If you have a UPMC plan, contact me directly so I can give you my business information that they will need to verify that I am in network! I like to triple check insurance benefits to be safe!
If you are interested in starting therapy, some ideas of what to include when you reach out in the contact box below:
- If you plan on using insurance or self-pay. If using insurance, you can let me know what insurance carrier you have.
- If you happen to know what your insurance benefits include such as deductibles, copays etc. if you don’t know, that’s okay too! If I can know ahead of time what benefits should be when I verify your information, it’s helpful but not required.
- What your availability is. I cannot accommodate evening sessions as they have been full for 2+ years, and I schedule during the day on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. My availability is super limited at this time.
- What you’d like to work on in therapy.
- Is there anything you’d like me to know before starting therapy?
- How did you find me/my practice?
What happens once you reach out: I will respond to your inquiry and likely have a few follow up questions such as asking for a picture of the front and back of your insurance card, phone number and your date of birth. I will then be able to verify your insurance, add you to my patient portal and send you my practice forms. Once you complete your patient portal and forms, we can schedule!
