Why Collective Wellness?
If you look up the word "collective" in the dictionary, you will find several definitions.
1. Done by people acting as a group
I believe that the therapeutic process is most successful when the client and the therapist are working as a team to create new insights and long-term change. I understand the importance of coordinating your care through interdisciplinary collaboration- acting as a cohesive group to achieve wellness.
2. Belonging or relating to all members of a group.
Life's challenges, mental illness, and family issues are common experiences, and you are not alone. Through this process we will normalize your struggles and increases sources of support.
3. Taken as a whole
Overall wellness must consider the person as a whole. Through this experience we will take into account your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health to work towards your overall wellness.

Insurance
Can I use my insurance?
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice, I do not accept insurance. I made this decision for a number of reasons based on how I believe I can best serve my clients.
Although I do not accept insurance, I am an Out-of-Network provider and can provide you with everything you will need to submit claims to your insurance company for reimbursement. (This includes License #, NPI, Tax ID, diagnosis code, service code, etc.)
How do I know if I will get reimbursed?
To find out if you are eligible for reimbursement, start by calling the phone number on the back of your insurance card. There is usually a specific phone number for members. If not, you may see an option for either customer service or behavioral health. Here is a list of things you will want to ask your insurance representative.
1. What are my out-of-network benefits for 45-minute individual psychotherapy via Telehealth?
(CPT code 90834 modifier 95)?
2. How much is my out-of-network deductible, and how much has already been satisfied?
3. What percentage of the service will be reimbursed?
***Note: My fee for a 50 minute individual session is $110. Insurance companies may cover a certain percentage of that session fee, for example 50% or 80% of the total cost.
4.What is the allowed amount for this service (90834 modifier 95)?
***Note: Although my fee is $110, insurance companies may have a different "allowed amount" in which they will reimburse for this service. For example, if your allowed amount is $90, that is the amount they will reimburse.
***Note: If you are being reimbursed a certain percentage of the total cost, it is important to understand whether that percentage is of my fee per session ($110) or your allowed amount, (for example $90).
5. Is there a limit on how many sessions will be reimbursed and/or session frequency?
6. Are there any diagnoses that are not covered?
***Note: Each diagnosis has a specific code, for example Generalized Anxiety Disorder is coded F41.1. It is important to know if there are any diagnostic codes that will not be covered by your insurance company.
