Insurance Accepted and Private Pay

I understand the importance of accessible mental health services. I accept a variety of insurance plans and also offer private pay options for those who prefer to manage their therapy costs independently.

Insurance Plans Accepted

Most insurance plans accepted. Copays are due on the date of service.

Private Pay

For those without insurance or who prefer to pay out-of-pocket, I offer a transparent fee structure:

Individual Therapy Session: $150 per hour

Consultation Services: Starting at $150 for an initial session

Please feel free to reach out for more information about insurance eligibility or to discuss private pay options.

Commitment to Privacy and Confidentiality

As a mental health professional in the small city of Des Moines, I understand the importance of confidentiality and privacy in our work together. I want you to feel safe and secure in sharing your thoughts and experiences during our sessions. Rest assured that I will always respect your privacy. If we happen to see each other in public, I will not approach you unless you initiate contact. Your comfort and confidentiality are my top priorities.

Important Note on Court Involvement

While I do handle court-related matters, I want to clarify that I do not incorporate a child’s therapeutic experiences into court situations. My priority is to provide a safe and supportive therapeutic environment for children. If a parent intends to bring their child’s therapy into a court setting, I may not be the right therapist for that circumstance. I encourage families to seek a therapist who specializes in court-related matters in those cases.

Billing for Subpoenas and Testimony

In the event that I receive a subpoena requiring my testimony, I will bill at a rate of $200 per hour for preparation and for attending court. This ensures that I can continue to provide the highest level of care and support to my clients while fulfilling legal obligations.
