What to Expect

SESSION INFORMATION

Call to see if we're a good fit

Therapy is very much about connecting to the therapist. It is also about practical things like schedule, fees, insurance, location, etc. If you are interested in learning more about Katy's style and availability, please call or email.

Before your first session

Before your first session, you will be asked for complete intake forms to help Katy get to know you and give consent for treatment. Katy will send you a link to these documents using Simple Practice, the electronic health platform for documents, billing, scheduling and telehealth.

Typical Session

A typical session is about 50-55 minutes. The first session may be longer to allow time to assess needs and therapy fit.

You will help set goals for treatment and work with Katy to partner in your ongoing treatment.

Fees and Payment

Katy is In-Network with Aetna, Anthem and United Behavioral Health Insurance Companies. If you plan to use one of these insurance providers, we will send claims to these insurance companies.

Katy accepts clients who wish to pay out-of-pocket. Per the "No Surprises Act" if you choose to pay out of pocket, you will receive a Good Faith Estimate for Services prior to starting therapy so you will have an idea of the cost of services.

All out-of pocket fees or co-pays are due at time of service.

Katy accepts cash, check, credit cards, and HSA cards

A Note about Insurance

You are fully responsible for checking your benefits with your insurance company prior to your first session. The credit card on file will be charged for sessions with outstanding service fees.

Questions to ask insurance provider:

Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
What is my deductible?
How many sessions does my health insurance cover?

Please call or email me for my current out of pocket rates. I can also provide superbills if needed for your insurance company for out of network reimbursements.
