Please contact us for rates. More often than not, we are able to find arrangements that work for you.

The first few sessions are spent getting to know you and identifying the specific goals that will help you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

Natal Counseling is an out-of-network provider. Many insurance plans offer some out-of-network coverage for mental health. More often than not, insurance will cover some of the session cost.

We can provide you with documentation (aka a “Superbill”) that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement of out-of-network benefits.

If you choose to directly contact your insurance company, here are some questions we recommend you ask:

1. How much does my insurance pay for an out-of-network provider?

2. What is the coverage amount per 50-minute therapy session from a licensed clinical psychologist (CPT codes 90834 & 90837)?

3. Does my plan limit how many sessions I can have with an out-of-network provider in a calendar year? If so, what is the limit (e.g. 12 sessions)?

Natal Counseling sees clients on a self-pay basis.

We are often asked why we are not in-network with most insurance companies. We believe strongly in protecting your confidentiality.

By not working with insurance companies:

1. A diagnosis label won’t become a permanent part of your health records. Insurance requires that clients are given a diagnosis and diagnostic code for billing even when a diagnosis may not be necessary, which can often be the case for people coping with the stress of family building.

2. All information about you, including very personal information, cannot be obtained by your insurance company. Often, several different people handle insurance claims at a company which can impact being able your confidentiality being tightly protected. If you ever require a federal background check, personal information can be obtained via insurance.

3. Your care decisions are not decided by your insurance company (such as being told by your insurance company they will only cover 6-12 sessions for a calendar year). Even if your therapist justifies a need for more services, the insurance company can request personal information for the purpose of approving continued services and the continued services can still be declined. Instead, you and I make these decisions together, which allows me to give you the best counseling that I possibly can.

Payment is due at the time of service. I accept all major credit cards, Flexible Savings Accounts (FSA), and Health Savings Accounts (HSA).

If you are unable to attend a session, please cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours before the start of your session. If you cancel less than 24 hours in advance or do not show up for your session, you will be charged for the full rate of the session.

Typically, around 50 minutes.
