Pay Your Bill
Maintaining client confidentiality and treatment integrity is important to me. Clients frequently choose to pay out-of-pocket, as insurance companies require that I assign a diagnosis in order to receive coverage.  I do not believe that every person who might benefit from counseling has a diagnosable illness.  Out-of-pocket payment also allows for us to decide together the type of service and time frame that best suits your needs, rather than the insurance company making those decisions.
 
 
Should you decide to use insurance, I am affiliated with the following providers:
 
  • ACI Specialty EAP Benefits
  • Aetna and Aetna EAP
  • Anthem BC/BS and Wellpoint EAP
  • Cigna
  • IMPACT EAP & Work/Life Program
  • Medical Mutual
  • Mutual of Omaha EAP
  • OSU Healthplan (Faculty, Staff, and Students)
  • United Healthcare/United Behavioral Health
  • Value Options
