There's no escaping the realities of divorce if you, like 50% of the married population in the US, choose to end your marriage. The typical American divorce is costly emotionally and financially, and it sometimes leaves a trail of trauma in the lives of both adults and children.

I am an out-of-network provider, and I do not currently accept insurance or participate in any Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). If you are unsure if you have out-of-network benefits, please contact your insurance company to ask if your plan offers mental health benefits including counseling. If so, you may also inquire about your reimbursement rate and whether you need to meet their deductible. Many of my clients choose to file a reimbursement claim with their insurance company and some receive as much as 80% reimbursement for their session cost. If you plan to file with your insurance company, I am happy to provide you with a receipt that includes the billing codes required--please just let me know. If you have an FSA card, you are welcome to use that for payment.
