While everyone’s timeline looks a little different, our strategic work is designed to yield clear, high-impact results. Driven professionals who commit to this process typically see a substantial increase in deep self-awareness, an enhanced ability to lead proactively rather than reactively, and highly sharpened boundary-setting in their professional and personal relationships.

By utilizing modalities like Psychodynamic, EMDR and ACT, we focus on clearing out past stressors so you can consistently show up with absolute confidence, daily presence, and peak mental vitality.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.

Mindful Counseling PLLC is an exclusively private-pay, out-of-network practice.

While I do not bill insurance companies directly, I can provide you with a monthly Superbill (an itemized receipt) to submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many clients also seamlessly utilize their pre-tax HSA or FSA cards to cover the cost of sessions.

Choosing a private-pay therapist offers several major advantages for high-functioning professionals:

• Absolute Confidentiality: Insurance companies require a formal psychiatric diagnosis to justify treatment, which permanently attaches to your medical record. They also have the legal right to audit and review your session notes. Private pay ensures your records stay completely confidential between you and me.

• No Forced Mental Health Labels: You do not need to be pathologized or meet a specific criteria for a "clinical impairment" to deserve care. Private pay allows us to focus entirely on personal growth, burnout, stress optimization, and life transitions without labeling you.

• Complete Control Over Your Care: Insurance companies often limit the number, frequency, or duration of your sessions. Working outside of their network means you and I dictate your treatment plan—allowing for flexible evening and weekend scheduling that fits your lifestyle.
