I accept United Health Care/Optum/UMR/Oscar, Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and HealthChoice. This page will tell you what you need to know about your insurance. It's best to be familiar with your own plan; even if Alma, my billing company, gives you an estimate, I would still call your insurance so there are no surprise costs, as Alma has made mistakes.
Choosing a counselor can be difficult, especially when considering the cost. That's why I intentionally keep my private pay fees more affordable. This is not a reflection of my experience but rather a conscious decision to make my services accessible to more people.
Insurance and Fees
Billing is handled through Alma and Headway. Insurance coverage for therapy is based on a mental health diagnosis recognized in the DSM-5. We can discuss it in our session.
Note for clients with a Marketplace (ACA) plan or an HMO: Marketplace insurance plans and HMOs are state-specific, so I can only be paneled for Marketplace plans in Oklahoma. Even if your plan is with Aetna (a company I am paneled with for commercial insurance), I would still need to apply separately to be in-network for your specific Marketplace plan. This differs from employer-sponsored or commercial plans, which are not restricted by state Marketplace paneling.
Cost with insurance
The cost of your therapy sessions varies based on your insurance plan. If you have to meet your deductible first (though half of clients just have a copay), you'll be billed at the rate Alma has negotiated with your insurer. Generally, the first session is approximately $200, and follow-up sessions are around $150, though these are estimates and may vary. Alma will email you the exact rate for your plan. If you're unsure about your fee before the first session, please let me know.
IF and After you meet your deductible, your payment will usually be a copay or coinsurance, typically $20 to $60 for mental health services.
Many insurance plans allow a copay for mental health services without requiring you to meet your deductible first. That's why I suggest calling the customer service number on your card—so that's positive news!
Call to know your benefits—what to ask your insurance:
To learn about your mental health coverage with your insurance, contact your insurer. Here are the key questions to ask:
-
Do I need to meet my deductible before my benefits, such as copayments, apply to behavioral health services?
-
What is the amount of my deductible?
-
What is my copay for outpatient online therapy?
Private Pay Individuals:
Private one-on-one
$100 a session, 55-65 minutes
Groups—1.5 hours
The cost for a themed group class is $35 per session, payable at the beginning. This ensures a closed-group format in which all participants move through the experience together, creating a safe, supportive space for deeper exploration and fewer dropouts. Drop-in attendance is not available, as these classes are designed to be completed from start to finish. The maximum number of participants is 8. We can bill weekly for the duration of the class.
For example, a 5-week class is $175, and a 6-week class is $210.
If you miss a session, I can provide a summary of what we covered and the information discussed; however, for privacy reasons, sessions are not recorded.
If you can't attend the class you signed up for, you can transfer to a different one that fits your schedule.
Hypnotherapy

$150 – Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy
Each session typically lasts 1 hour and 45 minutes (up to 2 hours). Insurance does not cover hypnotherapy because sessions exceed standard therapy time. Hypnotherapy can be an effective complement to therapy, helping you explore deeper aspects of your inner consciousness.
