Fees & Insurance
Starting therapy should feel clear, not confusing. This page gives you a simple overview of session fees, accepted insurance plans, and what to do if you are unsure about coverage. A free 15-minute consultation is available to help you take the next step with confidence.
Clear pricing so you know what to expect
Therapy works best when the process feels straightforward from the beginning. Fees are listed clearly here so you can make an informed decision before scheduling.
Initial Evaluation
The initial evaluation is the first appointment and gives Amy time to better understand your concerns, goals, symptoms, and the type of support that may be most helpful.
Ongoing Therapy Sessions
Ongoing sessions are $150 per session. Questions about recommended frequency, fit, and next steps can be discussed during your consultation or at the initial evaluation.
Coverage for eligible therapy services
Insurance is accepted for eligible therapy services. Current accepted plans include the following:
It is okay to have questions before you schedule

What may affect your coverage

Support for clients using insurance or paying out of pocket
Some clients prefer to use insurance. Others choose private pay or are seeking support that may be handled differently. This page is designed to make those options easier to understand.
Private Pay Options
Private pay is available for clients who prefer to pay out of pocket or who are not using insurance. The fee structure above can help you plan ahead before getting started.
If you have questions about cost, fit, or next steps, the free consultation is a simple way to talk those details through before scheduling.
Therapy and Mental Performance Coaching
Amy provides both therapy services and mental performance coaching. Because these are different types of services, payment and coverage may vary depending on what you are seeking.
If you are unsure whether therapy or mental performance coaching is the better fit, that can be discussed during your consultation so you have a clearer direction before moving forward.
