Sex Therapy and Trauma Counseling

Offering online therapy services for individuals and couples throughout Virginia and Maryland

Healing Intimacies is a private pay practice. This means you pay directly for sessions. No insurance involvement, no required diagnosis, no insurance company dictating the pace or nature of your care.

Just you, your therapist, and the work.

Insurance companies require a diagnosis, and often dictate the number of sessions a client can meet with their therapist. Those are limits I do not wish to place on my clients.

Service: Rate:

Couples Session (50 min) $235

Why Private Pay?

Insurance companies require a psychiatric diagnosis and proof that services are "medically necessary" before they'll reimburse for care. That means your therapist is required to label you, and that label becomes part of your permanent health record. It also means insurance companies can limit how many sessions you receive, what modalities can be used, and how your treatment unfolds.

Private pay removes all of that. Your care is determined by you and your therapist. Not by what an insurance algorithm will approve.

Superbills

If you have out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement from your insurance provider. Upon request, a superbill (an itemized receipt) can be provided after each session for you to submit to your insurance company. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and varies by plan — we recommend calling your insurance provider to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits before your first session.

Payment Payment is due at the time of service. Major credit cards and HSA/FSA cards are accepted.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If you cancel less than 48 hours before our session you will be charged the full fee for that session.

  • The therapist is not obligated to make up time due to a client’s lateness. More than 15 minutes lateness constitutes a late cancellation and the therapist is not obligated to conduct the session.

  • We are all human! *knock on wood* If I am severely ill, or have a life-or-death event, I will inform you that I will be absent. I inform everyone of my vacation or conference schedule several weeks in advance.
