We are happy to provide you with a detailed receipt that can be sumitted to your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement. Email admin@wellmindedcounseling.com for this, this will be provided only on a monthly basis and upon request only.

Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis be added to your permanent medical record before approving services. Many of my patients are suffering despite not meeting criteria for an official diagnosis.

Insurance companies often restrict the length of treatment and the type of services that can be offered and require lengthy discussions, reviews, and documentation to support the psychologist’s clinical judgment.

In-network insurance providers agree to allow auditors to review your therapy records. We are committed to confidentiality and prefer to not have non-clinical auditors reviewing your records any time they want. We also have concerns about insurance companies being the target for data breaches as we’ve seen with Equifax and the U.S. government.

Many insurance plans have in-network mental health deductibles that are so high it won’t save you any money to stay in network, so why not see someone of your own choosing who is out-of-network?

The fees insurance companies allow for psychotherapy are often less than half of the actual cost for therapy. My fees are typical for the Colorado and Florida area. We encourage you to check the independent nonprofit [FAIR Health] for your ZIP code and the procedure code 90837 to see the actual cost of therapy.

Each session is 50 minutes in duration. The amount of sessions depends on your wants and needs, however We do ask that clients attended more than the initial intake session, and schedule 6 sessions out after the intake. We typically have clients start weekly and move them to bi-weekly as they progress and then monthly until sessions can be terminated based the progress and mental health of the client.
