Insurance
We are in-network with CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield.
This includes BCBS HMO and PPO plans, including Anthem and BCBS Federal. See below for our self-pay rates for clients who do not have BCBS insurance.
Fees
-
Therapy sessions with clinicians with graduate level licensure (LMSW, LGPC):
$135 for 50-minute sessions
$170 for initial intakes and
90-minute sessions
-
Therapy sessions with clinicians with independent licensure (LCSW-C, LCPC):
$165 for 50-minute sessions
$200 for initial intakes and
90-minute sessions

Readiness assessments for gender-affirming medical care:
We do not charge a fee for assessments for gender-affirming medical care, unless we are able to bill the service to your BCBS insurance plan.
Out of Network Reimbursement
As a courtesy service for our clients who have Aetna, Cigna/Evernorth, and United HealthCare (UHC)/UMR plans, we are happy to submit out-of-network benefits claims on your behalf. Your therapist’s full fee will still be due at the time of service, and any subsequent reimbursement from your insurance plan will be paid directly to you by your own insurance company.
For clients with all other types of insurance, we are unable to interact directly with your insurance company. We can provide you with superbills so that you can submit your own claims for reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits.
We only provide superbills and/or assist with out-of-network reimbursement for individual therapy, not relationship therapy.
Relationship therapy and insurance
Family therapy (CPT code 90847) is covered by some insurance plans only in cases where:
the treatment is solely for the purpose of addressing the mental health diagnosis of one identified person in the couple/family/partnership; and,
the treatment is billed under that individual’s insurance plan.
This is not the same thing as relationship/couples therapy.
Usually, clients seek relationship therapy for a complex constellation of mutual challenges that do not meet this narrow criteria. We are unable to bill insurance, provide superbills, or submit out of network claims on your behalf for family therapy unless it meets the above description.
As defined by insurance companies, couples/relationship therapy is generally not the same thing as family therapy. Clients seeking couples/relationship therapy with us should understand that those services will not be covered by insurance, even by CareFirst/Blue Cross Blue Shield plans and plans with out of network benefits.
