INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT: 

I am adequately licensed/credentialed so clients can be reimbursed by insurance plans that provide for OUT OF NETWORK (OON) OUTPATIENT COUNSELING SERVICES.  Statements/superbills are provided for client-filed OON reimbursement claims. Please contact your insurance company to familiarize yourself with your insurance plan’s coverage parameters.
