Private Pay and Out-of-Network Benefits
Wholehearted Counseling is a private-pay practice and is not in network with insurance companies. However, your insurance plan may include out-of-network benefits that allow you to receive partial reimbursement for therapy services.
Payment of the full session fee is due at the time of service. I can provide you with a monthly superbill, which is an itemized receipt containing the information your insurance company may require when you submit a claim for reimbursement.
Reimbursement is not guaranteed and varies based on your insurance provider, plan, deductible, and coverage. I recommend contacting your insurance company directly using the number on the back of your insurance card to verify your benefits before beginning services.

What is the allowed amount for the service codes used by my therapist?
How do I submit a superbill or out-of-network claim?
Is any additional documentation required, such as a referral, prior authorization, or letter of medical necessity?

FAQs
How do I get started?
You can reach out via the contact form, email, or scheduling link.
Once we connect, we’ll schedule a brief consultation where we can talk about your goals, explore whether my approach is right for you, and answer any questions you have. From there, if we determine we are a good fit we will schedule our initial therapy session.
What do you specialize in?
I primarily work with women navigating pregnancy loss, reproductive grief, infertility, trauma, and other difficult life experiences. I also support concerns related to stress, identity, relationships, life transitions, and women’s mental health across the lifespan.
My work is especially focused on helping women feel understood, process what they’ve been through, and reconnect with themselves in a way that feels grounded and compassionate.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many of the women I work with are highly capable and successful, yet find themselves feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected from themselves, or repeating patterns they want to change.
Therapy may be a good fit if you're looking for support, greater self-understanding, healthier coping strategies, or a space to focus on your own needs and well-being. If you're unsure, a free consultation can help you determine whether therapy feels like the right next step.
Do you offer virtual or in-person sessions?
I currently offer telehealth sessions for those located within the state of Arizona, which means you can access therapy from wherever you feel safe and comfortable.
Telehealth is secure, HIPAA-compliant, and designed to provide the same supportive and effective experience as in-person therapy.
What are the benefits to private pay?
Private-pay therapy gives you more choice and flexibility in your care. Because treatment is not being billed through insurance, we can make decisions about the focus, length, and approach to therapy based on what feels most supportive for you rather than what is required for insurance coverage.
Private pay can also offer greater privacy, as a mental health diagnosis does not need to be submitted to an insurance company in order to receive services. It also gives you the freedom to choose a therapist based on their specialty, approach, and fit rather than being limited to therapists within your insurance network.
You don't have to figure it all out before reaching out.
If you're wondering whether my approach might be a good fit for what you're experiencing, we can start with a free consultation. We'll talk briefly about what you're looking for, I'll answer your questions, and we can decide together whether it makes sense to move forward.
