The hardest part is the first message,
which is why I make it easy.
The first consultation is free, by phone or video, and there is nothing to prepare. We talk, I answer your questions, and we figure out whether I am the right fit. If I am not, I will say so and point you to someone I trust.
I see clients online across Texas, and in person in Dallas at Revolve Wellness Collective, Preston Center, 5944 Luther Lane, Suite 470, Dallas, TX 75225.
Reach out however feels easiest. A two-line text is a perfectly good way to start, and you do not have to explain everything, or anything, in the first message. That is what the conversation is for.
Fees, plainly.
My fee is $200 per individual session and $250 per couples session, and the first consultation is free. I do not bill insurance directly: you pay me, and if your plan allows out-of-network reimbursement, I provide a superbill you can submit. That keeps the treatment decisions between the two of us.
Asked and answered.
How much does therapy cost at Lone Star Telehealth?
My fee is $200 per individual session and $250 per couples session. The first consultation is free.
Do you take insurance?
I do not bill insurance directly. You pay me, and if your plan allows out-of-network reimbursement, I provide a superbill you can submit. This keeps treatment decisions between the two of us: no diagnosis required to start, and your records stay with me.
Are sessions online or in person?
Both. I see clients online across Texas, and in person in Dallas at Revolve Wellness Collective in Preston Center, 5944 Luther Lane, Suite 470.
Who do you work with?
Professional adults with ADHD, autism, or both, and the anxiety, depression, and burnout that tend to travel with them. I also see couples where one or both partners are neurodivergent. I have been seeing clients since 2005.
How do I get started?
Call or text 972.301.8851, or email [email protected]. A two-line text is a perfectly good way to start. The first consultation is free, by phone or video, and there is nothing to prepare.
The practical policies.
A few things worth reading before we start. Open any that apply to you.
Good Faith Estimate
A "Good Faith Estimate" in healthcare is an estimate of the cost for medical items and services. As mandated by the No Surprises Act (HR133, Title 45 Section 149.610) since January 2022, you have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" to help you estimate the maximum expected charges for non-emergency items or services.
You are entitled to a "Good Faith Estimate" that outlines the anticipated cost of your medical and mental health care, including psychotherapy services. This estimate is particularly important for uninsured individuals or those not using insurance.
Before scheduling any service, you have the right to request a Good Faith Estimate from your healthcare provider or any other provider you choose. The estimate should detail the total expected cost of non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy.
In the event that you receive a bill that exceeds your Good Faith Estimate by at least $400, you have the right to dispute the bill. Please ensure you retain a copy or take a picture of your Good Faith Estimate for reference. For further questions or information regarding your right to a Good Faith Estimate, please visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
Appointments and cancellations
To ensure smooth scheduling, please notify me of any appointment changes at least 24 hours in advance. Late cancellations (less than 24 hours notice) or missed appointments may incur a fee. If you are running late, please be aware that your session may be shortened. Arriving more than 15 minutes late may result in the appointment being refused.
Electronic communication
While I take precautions to comply with HIPAA requirements, please be aware that electronic communication (including text messages) may not guarantee confidentiality. Email or text messaging can be used for scheduling or cancellations, but therapeutic content and emergency requests should be discussed during a formal counseling session.
Social media policy
To maintain confidentiality and minimize dual relationships, I do not accept friend or contact requests on social networking sites from current or former clients. We can discuss any questions regarding this policy during our sessions.
