Confidentiality is of the utmost importance. What is discussed in session is kept strictly confidential. Any exceptions to this are addressed in the Intake paperwork and reviewed in our first session together.

Health Savings Account (HSA)

Q: DO YOU SEE PEOPLE VIRTUALLY?
Yes! Video appointments have benefits that in-person appointments don't!
Many people experience feeling more secure and comfortable when working with a therapist or coach online. They love the flexibility, freedom, and comfort of home while they are working on change. Online appointments bring professional support right into your living room or wherever and however it is the most convenient for you. Meet with me over a HIPPA compliant and secure video connection!
Q: WHAT INSURANCES DO YOU TAKE?
We work out of network with all insurances. Your reimbursement will depend on your out of network benefits. If you would like us to look at what those might be for you, we are happy to do so! You can also use our software to understand your out of network benefits HERE.
Q: WHY DON'T YOU WORK IN NETWORK WITH MY INSURANCE?
We are out-of-network with all insurance companies, which allows us to spend more time working in direct contact with our clients. For insurance to cover counseling, they demand a diagnosis, even if there is no appropriate option. We want you to be able to get the help you need without having to be labeled with a diagnosis since diagnoses are permanent on your health record and can affect your life insurance policies, and certain career choices.
Insurance companies also decide treatment schedules by determining the number of sessions and the frequency. They can dictate what they are willing to pay for so in effect someone who has never met you before is deciding whether they feel you need a specific treatment. We believe that services should be catered to each individual client's needs, and you should have the freedom to choose what is best for your mental health while working with your therapist.
Q: CAN I USE INSURANCE IF I AM COACHING WITH YOU?
Unfortunately, no. Coaching is not covered by insurance or FSA/HSA.

*While I am a therapist in the state of Minnesota, I do not offer therapy services across state lines. Individual or relational coaching is different from therapy in that it focuses on individual and relational development, rather than treating psychopathology. If at any time I believe that coaching is not the right fit for you and/or there is evidence of psychopathology and the need for therapeutic support, I will assist you in finding a licensed therapist within your state who offers the services you need, either in place of, or in addition to our work together. Coaching services are not intended to diagnose or treat mental illness or replace therapeutic services by a licensed mental health professional within your state.
