Do you accept insurance?

Mindful Therapy Collective is an out-of-network provider and does not bill insurance directly. This allows us to prioritize your privacy, autonomy, and individualized care—without the restrictions that often come with insurance-driven treatment.

If you choose to work with us, you’ll be responsible for paying the full session fee at the time of service. We’re happy to provide a monthly Superbill (a detailed invoice) that you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Depending on your plan, we’ve seen reimbursement rates range from 40–80%. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to learn more about your out-of-network mental health benefits.

There are several benefits to working with an out-of-network therapist. Insurance companies often limit the type, length, and frequency of therapy—and may require a mental health diagnosis that becomes part of your permanent medical record. They may also request access to personal information that could compromise your confidentiality. By remaining out-of-network, we help ensure that your therapy stays focused on your needs, not insurance requirements.

If you are interested in using your out-of-network benefits, here are some questions to ask your insurance company:

• Do I have out-of-network benefits for mental/behavioral health?

• How much will I be reimbursed for a 53-60 minute (90837) or 38-52 minute (90834) individual psychotherapy session?

• Do I need to meet a deductible before I am eligible for out-of-network benefits?

• Is there a limit to the number of sessions for which I will be reimbursed?

• Do I need to obtain authorization in order for services to be covered?

• What documentation do I need to provide in order to receive reimbursement?

How long do sessions typically last, and how often will we meet?

Sessions are typically 45-50 minutes, unless pre-planned for an alternate duration. In general, I see clients on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule. A recommendation of frequency will occur during your first session.

How much do sessions cost? what forms of payment do you accept?

• Initial Intake Session: $175 (60 min.)

• Individual Psychotherapy: $175 (38-60 min.)

Cash, check, credit, and HSA cards are accepted at the time of treatment.

What should I expect from the first session?

During the first session, we will get to know one another, review pertinent history & expectations, and collaborate on goals for your continued therapy. We will also review Mindful Therapy Collective’s general practice policies and answer any questions that you have. First sessions are typically structured to support the planning of your individualized treatment plan.

Do you provide in-person sessions?

Yes, I offer in-person sessions on Wednesdays in the Mt. Washington area of Baltimore. I also provide telehealth sessions for clients located anywhere in Maryland or Washington, D.C.

Where is Your Office Located?

My office is at 6500 Falls Road, Suite 100, at the corner of Falls Road and Old Pimlico Road. There is parking available in front of the building. The office entrance is located down the stairs on the left side, at the lower level.

What is the 'No Surprises Act Notice' and Good Faith Estimate?

Under U.S. law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. 

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure you also 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 1-800-985-3059.
