Frequently Asked Questions & Payment Buttons

How long will it take?

Quick coaching calls can be done as needed. Typically 55 minutes at a time. For more complex issues, there are a number of factors that determine the length of time for each client or couple. If you have a single traumatic incident, it may only take 2-3 half day intensives to clear. If you have a life story to clear, it may take 30+ hours of treatment.

Some people are ready to go full on and clear out one “closet” after another. Other people deal with one issue, then go live life for a while before moving on to the next. The length of time one has had the issue tends to increase the length of time it takes to shift beliefs and practice new behaviors. EMDR can reduce the length of therapy time dramatically. (Instead of weekly, hourly sessions for several years, you can be done in a few months.)

During the assessment phase, I will make a recommendation of goals and make sure that we are on the same page regarding your treatment. It’s important to consider what works for you and honor where you are. There are no required lengths of time. Do what feels right for you.

Washington state residents: Do you bill my insurance?

I am out of network on all plans, payment is due at the time of making an appointment through the buttons above, or the Venmo address provided, and I provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. (I can submit on your behalf for some insurance companies). I do not bill Medicare and it is my understanding that you will not receive reimbursement from them.

Your insurance company may require: session content, time and date you attended, goals, interventions, and progress toward your goals, to consider your claim or authorization for future sessions. Any additional requests from your insurance are billed at $225/hr.

If you would like to know what is reported about your medical history: Medical Information Board at 866-692-6901 or POB 105, Essex Station, Boston, MA, 02112.

How do I know if my insurance will reimburse me?

It is important for you to inquire about your insurance company's specific requirements prior to making your first appointment:

a.) Do you have out of network coverage with Heart Healing Counseling Corporation NPI 1447480074?
b.) What is your deductible for individual sessions and how much have you satisfied? When does your plan renew?
c.) What is the number of sessions provided on your plan? Is authorization required prior to or at any time during your treatment?
d.) What percent of their allowable amount do they reimburse for an out of network provider using CPT code 90837?

All insurance companies require medical necessity. Feel free to call your insurance company for more information or we can talk about this during your first appointment.

How Do I Get Started?

Note: Only complete forms after we have spoken to make sure there is a time available and you understand your insurance/payment choices.

I am not able to hold appointment times until all of your intake paperwork is complete and I confirm your appointment. If you email them to me, please call or text to confirm I receive them.
