Fees & coverage
Rates & Insurance
Therapy is one of the most meaningful investments you can make in yourself, and I want the financial side to feel as clear and supportive as the work itself. Here's how fees, insurance, and out-of-network benefits work at Alleviate Trauma.
Private pay
Spots open now$199 / 45-minute session
Longer sessions (60–120 minutes) and a sliding scale are available. Ask during your consult.
- ✓ No diagnosis on an insurance record (unless you submit superbills for reimbursement)
- ✓ Pacing set by your goals, not plan limits
- ✓ All major credit cards and HSA/FSA accepted
- ✓ Monthly superbill for out-of-network reimbursement
Paying privately, without submitting to insurance, keeps your care between you and me. For trauma work in particular, that room to move at your own pace matters.

My in-network caseload is full and my insurance waitlist is currently closed, so I'm not accepting new Aetna, Kaiser, or Providence clients at this time. Private-pay and out-of-network spots are open now.
Out-of-network

Check your out-of-network benefits
See your deductible, reimbursement rate, and estimated cost per session, with no commitment. If you want, the same tool can also submit claims for you and let you pay only the post-reimbursement portion upfront, so you're never out of pocket for the full fee.

Book a free consultationCancellation policy
I require 48 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule a session. Late cancellations and no-shows are charged the full session fee, as insurance does not reimburse for missed appointments.
A note on the Good Faith Estimate
Under the federal No Surprises Act, if you're paying out-of-pocket without using insurance, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges.
