Wellness through Counseling in Washington DC, Maryland, and Pennsylvania

Rates & Insurance

RATES & INSURANCE for DC, Maryland, and Pennsylvania

  • I offer individual therapy for adults 18+.

  • Therapy sessions are generally about 50 - 60 minutes in length.

  • Our first session (or two) is an intake assessment, which gives me a broad view of your life experiences.  In our second or third session, we will begin working on specific goals/ action plan to help guide our time.

  • Appointment reminders are automatically sent out via email 2 days before your scheduled session. I request that any cancellations or changes be made at least 24 hours ahead of your appointment time, otherwise it will be considered a missed appointment, for which there is an $60 fee.

  • Payments can be made with all major credit cards, Apple and Samsung Pay, or Health/Flex Spending Accounts.


It is your responsibility to understand your insurance benefits prior to scheduling an appointment.

Please contact your insurance provider to understand your unique plan benefits. No two plans are alike! Whether you are using in-network or out-of-network benefits, these questions will help guide you to understand if therapy is affordable:

First Question to Ask: What is my coverage for outpatient/in-office mental health sessions?

Second Question: Do I have a deductible that needs to be met before benefits kick in?

  1. Yes: How much is it? What is the per session cost for a 45 minute session (CPT code 90834) or a 60 minute session (CPT code 90837)?

  2. No: Do I have a co-pay for sessions? How much is it?


 Accepted Insurance/ 

In-NetworK


  • Aetna

  • CIGNA

  • Blue Cross/ Blue Shield

  • Medicaid (Maryland only)

  • United Health Care

Out-of-network


If your insurance is not listed in the left-side column, then I am not a participating provider in that network.

However you may still have Out of Network Benefits to help offset the cost of session.

I will do my best to help you understand your benefits, and assist in submitting paperwork to your insurance for reimbursement.

Out of pocket


Some people prefer this option for privacy reasons. My standard fee is $200 for an intake assessment, and $150 for subsequent sessions, which qualifies as a tax-deductible medical expense. I can offer a few clients with a sliding scale/ discounted fee in the event of financial distress.
