  • Yes, I accept EMI, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Select Health insurance. For clients using other insurance plans, I can provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Please check with your insurance provider to confirm your benefits.

  • The fee for a 50-minute psychotherapy session is $180. Payment is due at the time of service, and I accept credit/debit cards and HSA cards. Intensive therapy sessions and nature-based therapy experiences have separate pricing. I also offer a sliding scale fee utilizing the green bottle method to make services more accessible. Please note that there are limited spots available for clients on the sliding scale, specifically for individuals without insurance or those paying privately.

  • Intensive Outpatient (IOP) Nature Therapy is an immersive experience for private-pay clients who want to engage in therapy in a natural setting. Sessions take place during hiking or camping trips across Utah, including in national parks. I travel to your chosen destination in my Dodge ProMaster camper van, which is equipped with a shower, toilet, and kitchen. Nature therapy ranges from $6,000 to $10,000, depending on the tailored experience. Schedule a consultation to design your personalized nature therapy journey.

  • Under the law, health care providers are required to give patients/clients who don’t have insurance or are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

      - You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

      - Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

      - If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

      - Be sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit [www.cms.gov/nosurprises](https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises).
