*I offer a limited number of sliding-scale sessions for those who qualify based on financial hardship. Please reach out if this applies to you and I will try to work within your means.
Insurance & Payment
I run a private-pay practice. I’m not contracted with any commercial insurance companies, but you may be able to request out-of-network reimbursement benefits. Full payment is due at the time of service, but if needed, I can provide you with a receipt — a “superbill” — that you can submit directly to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Since I’m not contracted with insurance companies, I won’t have access to information about your specific benefits; I’d encourage you to contact your insurer directly to ask about your out-of-network coverage.
Fees are payable by credit card. I offer a limited number of sliding-scale sessions for those who qualify based on financial hardship, full-time student status, or active military service and their dependents.
A few practical notes: I don’t carry unpaid balances — if two or more sessions go unpaid, we’ll need to pause our work together until that’s resolved. I review my rates annually and will give at least 30 days’ notice before any increase takes effect.
Cancellation Policy
Standard sessions are 55 minutes and begin and end on time. If you’re late, the time missed isn’t made up by extending the session. Longer (and shorter) sessions are available by request, limited to schedule availability.
Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel. Sessions cancelled with less notice are billed in full. Exceptions may be made for dangerous weather or serious illness. This policy applies to both of us — if I need to cancel, the same standard holds. Insurance does not reimburse for missed sessions.
Sessions are typically scheduled weekly or every-other week. Appointment times aren’t automatically held from week to week, but we can set a standing appointment; if so, it’s your responsibility to cancel a standing appointment at least 24 hours in advance if your plans change that week.
If You’re in Crisis
As a private-pay solo practice, I’m not able to provide 24-hour emergency or on-call services. If you’re experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency, please go to your nearest hospital emergency room or call 911.
As part of our intake process, we’ll talk through your current needs and assess whether a private practice without 24-hour crisis coverage is the right level of care for you. If your needs call for more support than I’m able to provide, I’ll let you know and help point you toward a better fit.
If you’re in emotional distress and need to talk to someone, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24 hours a day — call or text 988. Veterans and service members can reach the Veterans Crisis Line the same way: dial 988, then press 1.
I hold office hours Monday through Thursday and am often unavailable by phone while in session. If you’re an existing client in crisis, you’re welcome to call and leave a message — I generally return calls the same business day. For anything that can’t wait, please use the crisis resources above rather than waiting to hear back from me.
How to Reach Me Between Sessions
I hold office hours Monday through Thursday. For scheduling, billing questions, or non-urgent matters, the best way to reach me is by phone at (573) 733-3533 — I’ll return your call within 24 hours during office hours, and messages left on weekends or holidays are returned the next business day.
Email is best reserved for scheduling only. Since standard email isn’t fully secure, I’d ask that you avoid sending sensitive or detailed information that way — a phone call is a safer choice for anything personal.
You are permitted to email me anything that you feel is pertinent to therapy, but I cannot guarantee confidentiality for anything submitted to me digitally.
