Frequently Asked Questions
How do I pay for mental health care?
I am currently paneled with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, and United/Optum. If you have any of these insurance carriers, all or part of your mental health care may be covered. With your permission, I may clarify your benefits for you prior to your initial visit, so you have an understanding of the cost upfront. For clients with other insurance carriers, I would be an out-of-network provider, but I can offer a superbill to help with the reimbursement process
Please note some services I do offer are not covered by insurance (e.g., FMLA request) and would be charged at the private pay rate as noted.
What is the process to engage in care?
Depending on your preference, you can schedule a brief consultation call or an initial intake. See Request Appointment option to see available times. I am also happy to answer questions by email.
Will my visits be virtual or in person?
I am primarily a virtual care provider. I utilize a secure and HIPPA compliant program for our virtual visits and offer the same level of care virtually as you would receive in person. I do have limited slots available for in-person care in Chicago.
What training do I have as a mental health clinician and consultant?
I have been practicing as a Licensed Clinical Psychologist since 2014 and I am licensed in the State of Illinois (License # 071.010882) and Florida (License # PY9118). I also have a PSYPACT designation (Mobility Number 17493) giving me authority to practice virtually across state lines. My degree and associated training are accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA). Furthermore, I have over a decade of clinical experience in federal service working with veterans and their families and have received evidenced based training for reproductive mental health, insomnia, couples work, PTSD, mood and anxiety disorders, and substance use. I also have served as a national consultant to large scale interdisciplinary medical and mental health treatment teams and as a clinical supervisor.
