Sliding Scale: I offer limited sliding scale slots reserved for folx who are unable to access culturally centered, affirming care, are unable to afford my services and/or who cannot receive reimbursement from their insurance or do not have insurance coverage.

Here is a helpful resource about sliding scale fees through a social justice lens: The Sliding Scale: A Tool of Economic Justice .

Insurance: I do not accept insurance and I am not in-network with insurance providers.  I am able to provide you with a statement that you can submit to your insurance carrier for reimbursement.  Please speak to your insurance provider in advance to learn more about out-of-network coverage and your eligibility for reimbursement. I am happy to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation meeting to assess your therapy needs and determine if we would be a good fit.

  • Other Services Offered

I also offer presentations and consultations to students and professionals in the mental health field, especially related to issues of multicultural, racial identity and systemic oppression. I have special interest in Muslim identified clients struggling with a myriad of life and systemic difficulties.

  • No Surprises Act

Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during treatment.  If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, or how to dispute a bill, see your Estimate, or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
