FAQs

1 / How do I make an appointment?

Schedule a brief consultation by emailing me at gothrivepsychotherapy@gmail.com. Once we’ve decided we’re a good fit to work together, we can typically schedule your first appointment within one week.

2 / How do I know if we're the right fit?

I often liken finding the right therapist to dating—you’ll usually know after the first session or two if you feel a connection and would like to continue.

If for any reason I determine that I am not the best fit for your needs, or you present with an issue outside my areas of expertise, it is my ethical duty to refer you to someone who can better support you, and I will do just that. Your well-being is the priority, and I’m committed to helping you find the right path, whether that’s with me or another therapist.

3 / Do you accept insurance?

I proudly accept most Aetna insurance plans for clients in NY, NJ, CO, and DC. If you’re covered under a different plan, I’m happy to work with you as an out-of-network provider.

Out-of-Network Benefits & Insurance

 

What does it mean to be an out-of-network provider?

As an out-of-network provider, I do not bill your insurance company directly. You are responsible for payment at the time of your session, and I provide documentation that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

Will my insurance reimburse me for therapy?

Some insurance plans include out-of-network mental health benefits, while others do not. If your plan offers these benefits, your insurance company may reimburse you for a portion of your therapy fee. Reimbursement varies based on your individual plan, deductible, and coverage.

How do I know if I have out-of-network benefits?

The best way to determine your coverage is to contact your insurance company directly. You can ask:

  • Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?

  • What is my out-of-network deductible?

  • What is my reimbursement rate for CPT 90834?

  • Do I need to meet my deductible before receiving reimbursement?

  • Is there a limit on the number of therapy sessions covered?

What is a superbill?

A superbill is a receipt containing the information your insurance company needs to process an out-of-network claim. I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company.

Will you submit my claims for me?

No - however, most insurance companies allow you to easily submit claims online through their website or portal.

What if my insurance doesn't have out-of-network benefits?

You are welcome to work with me as a private-pay client. I offer sliding scale for those with financial barriers. 

4 / What is your rate?

$230 for a 50 minute session.  Sliding scale options are available for those who do not have out of network benefits. 

5 / What is your cancellation policy?

24 hour notice or there is a fee.

6 / How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Many people start therapy when stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, or past experiences begin to impact their well-being or daily life. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit—therapy can also help with gaining insight, improving relationships, and developing healthier ways to cope with stress. If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right step, a brief consultation can help you explore whether working together feels like a good fit.
