Accepted
Do you take insurance? Insurance coverage is accepted under the following guidelines:
My credentials are: MS, LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional
Counselor), CADC (Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor), and NCC
(National Counselor Certification).
Your insurance is a contract between you, your employer and the
insurance company. I am not a party to that contract unless I am a
preferred provider with your insurance company. My requirement is
payment in full at the time of your session, and that you be reimbursed
by your insurance company.
My fees are generally considered to fall within the acceptable range
by most companies, and therefore are covered up to the maximum allowance
determined by each carrier.

programs including but not limited to: Aetna Behavioral Health,
