When a therapist takes insurance, they work for the insurance company first and the client second. At Fio, we value:

• Being able to collaborate with you about the type of treatment approach that will be the most helpful for you, rather than the insurance company dictating this.
• Being able to prioritize confidentiality and keep your records protected.
• You having a say about whether you receive a diagnosis or have that diagnosis on your health record.

For these reasons, I do not accept insurance. If you receive out-of-network benefits through your insurance provider, I would be happy to provide you with a superbill for reimbursement purposes. I can also receive payment from HSAs.  

It really just depends. Some women prefer to meet on a short-term basis (6 months – 1 year). Others appreciate longer-term support and expand the goals they want to address along the way. In any case, we’ll come up with a plan together about what duration of therapy feels most beneficial to you.

$125 for a 50 minute session.

Self-pay protects your sensitive information from insurance companies and it means our work together won’t be dictated by insurance.

I believe access to mental health support is a right, not a privilege. If my rate is not accessible to you, please ask about my sliding scale options during your free consult call.

If you decide to pursue therapy at Fio after your free consult call, we’ll schedule sessions at whatever pace feels good to you. Many clients start with a weekly rhythm and scale back to every other week as they go. This helps to establish our therapeutic connection and for you to build momentum at the beginning.

The first several sessions will consist of us continuing to get to know each other and build trust. We’ll review parts of your story that are important to the healing work you’re pursuing.

Along the way, we’ll check in often about how therapy is feeling, what resonates or doesn’t, and any adjustments that can be made to enhance your experience.

No matter where we’re at in our work together, you always have the final say on what we do or do not explore. Your voice matters the most in this process.

When you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing.

What is “balance billing” (sometimes called “surprise billing”)?
When you see a doctor other health care provider, you may owe certain out-of-pocket costs, such as copayment, coinsurance, and/or a deductible. You may have other costs or have to pay the entire bill if you see a provider or visit a health care facility that isn’t in your health plan’s network.

“Out-of-network” describes providers and facilities that haven’t signed a contract with your health plan. Out-of-network providers may be permitted to bill you for the difference between what your plan agreed to pay and the full amount charged for a service. This is called “balance billing.” This amount is likely more than in-network costs for the same service and might not count toward your annual out-of-pocket limit.

“Surprise billing” is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you can’t control who is involved in your care—like when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an in- network facility butare unexpectedly treated by an out-of-network provider.

You are protected from balance billing for:
Emergency services: If you have an emergency medical condition and get emergency services from an out-of- network provider or facility, the most the provider or facility may bill you is your plan’s in- network cost-sharing amount (such as copayments and coinsurance). You can’t be balance billed for these emergency services. This includes services you may get after you’re in stable condition, unless you give written consent and give up your protections not to be balanced billed for these post-stabilization services.

Certain services at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center: When you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers can’t balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections not to be balance billed.

If you get other services at these in-network facilities, out-of-network providers can’t balance bill you, unless you give written consent and give up your protections.

You’re never required to give up your protections from balance billing. You also aren’t required to get care out-of-network. You can choose a provider or facility in your plan’s network.

When balance billing isn’t allowed, you also have the following protections:

• You are only responsible for paying your share of the cost (like the copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles that you would pay if the provider or facility was in-network). Your health plan will pay out-of-network providers and facilities.
• Your health plan generally must:
  • Cover emergency services without requiring you to get approval for services in advance(prior authorization).
  • Cover emergency services by out-of-network providers.
  • Base what you owe the provider or facility (cost-sharing) on what it would pay an in-network provider or facility and show that amount in your explanation of benefits.
  • Count any amount you pay for emergency services or out-of-network services toward your deductible and out-of-pocket limit.

If you believe you’ve been wrongly billed, you may contact 800-368-1019. Visit www.cms.go/nosurpises for more information about your rights under federal law.

A therapeutic relationship that feels safe and aligned with what’s important to you is foundational to experiencing the meaningful transformation you’re looking for from therapy. 

The free consult call is an opportunity for us to connect and see if working together might be a good fit. You’re welcome to bring any questions or concerns to this time. I’ll also ask a bit about what led you to reach out and what you hope to address in therapy. Please note that this call is not therapy.

This is a zero-obligation call. If Fio feels like the right fit for you after we connect, we’ll schedule your first appointment as soon as you’re ready. If it doesn’t feel like the right fit, I can provide referrals for other therapists who might better align with the work you’re hoping to do.

Virtual therapy offers many of the same benefits as in-person therapy but without the hassle of traffic or getting a babysitter or rearranging your schedule. For many, it provides the convenience, comfort, and accessibility that in-person therapy may not. Fio is happy to provide an option for you to engage your story from the safety of your home. Our virtual sessions will take place through a secure, confidential video conferencing platform.

I take a holistic approach to therapy because I believe the mind, body, and soul are all connected. I pull from Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, Attachment theory, Polyvagal theory and Interpersonal Neurobiology, and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). I’d be happy to share more about how these modalities may influence our work together during your free consult call.

I’m currently offering in-person therapy in Denver (300 S Jackson St), and virtual therapy via a secure telehealth platform for folks living in Colorado.
