Confidentiality is one of the most important aspects of the therapeutic process.  Everything about your treatment will be kept confidential except for a few exceptions: if you are in immediate danger of hurting yourself or others, if there is suspected abuse of a child or other vulnerable peoples, if there is a court subpoena, and in providing necessary information for insurance coverage.  All of your client rights will be outlined for you when you complete your intake paperwork.

Yes! As long as you are in the state of Arizona during our session.

I accept Aetna, Optum, Oxford, UHC, UMR, Oxford, and Harvard Pilgrim.

We do not accept insurance for couples therapy.

Ask your insurance provider if they offer out-of-network coverage for therapy services. If so, I can provide a “superbill” for reimbursement from your insurance company. HSA funds can also be used to pay for therapy services.

Some clients prefer to pay out of pocket for various reasons.  These include ensuring the right clinical fit, having autonomy, flexibility, and increased privacy in your treatment, and not wanting to have a diagnosis.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact 911 or the Maricopa Crisis Line 602-222-9444.
