How It Works

Steps to Begin Therapy

Getting started is simple. Here is what to expect:

01
Schedule a Free Consultation

Book a 15 minute consultation to explore your goals and ensure we are the right fit for your needs. No pressure, no commitment, just an honest conversation.

02
Confirm Insurance Coverage

Check with your insurance provider to confirm we are in network, or we will review self pay options together. We accept BCBS PPO and UnitedHealthcare.

03
Complete Your Onboarding

Accept your secure onboarding invitation and fill out the initial forms at your own pace. Everything is handled through your private, HIPAA compliant client portal.

04
Begin Your First Session

Show up as you are. The first session is a space for you to share your story, set intentions, and begin building the trust that makes real healing possible.

Fees and Insurance

What it costs to begin.

Insurance

I am in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield (PPO and Blue Choice) and United Healthcare. Reach out to your provider directly to confirm your coverage.

If I am out of network with your plan, session fees are paid upfront. I will provide a receipt, called a superbill, which you can submit to your insurance provider for out of network reimbursement if your plan includes that benefit.

Session Rates

  • Individual Sessions$190 / 50 min
  • Couples Sessions$220 / 50 min
  • Emotional Intimacy Coaching$300 / 90 min

Good Faith Estimate

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the expected cost of your care. If you are uninsured or choosing to self pay, let me know and I will provide one. Questions about this right can be sent to info@cb-therapy.com.
