“Emotional regulation flows naturally when in the presence of someone we trust.”
~Bonnie Badenoch
What is it like to work with me?
I am an honest, warm, compassionate person. I see myself as a fellow flawed human, a teacher, and comrade. I will be honest with you, laugh with you, sometimes cry with you, and unconditionally cheer you on!
Who do I work with?
I work with adults only—18 and older. I mainly see individual clients navigating relational or personal issues (ie: conflict, insecurity, breakups, attachment, infidelity, grief, communication issues, etc). I specialize in helping you move toward more secure and sustainable relating.
Where do we meet?
I see local clients in my office, and use telehealth for out of town folks.
When can we meet?
I work Monday through Thursday 8:30-1:30 in office. I always recommend starting off meeting on a weekly basis.
How much does it cost?
I am in network with select insurance companies. Cash rates are as follows:
Couples/family intake (90 minutes): $240
Couples/family session (75 minutes): $200
Individual intake (90 minutes): $225
Individual session (60 minutes): $165
Initial Zoom consultation (15-20 minute): Free
Please read the fine print: The majority of couples seeking counseling for communication, re-connection and intimacy issues do not meet insurances’ criteria for medical necessity and therefore will not be billable to insurance. Why?! Insurance companies will only cover services based on a diagnosis that they decide is medically necessary. While many insurance companies claim to cover couples/family counseling, they do so only if the "identified patient" who's insurance is being billed has a medical condition they recognize as legitimate. Additionally, couples/family counseling must be proven to be an evidence-based treatment for the identified condition. This means that in the great majority of cases, Tobi will only accept cash payment for couple/family therapy.
What is the ‘No Surprises Act’?
You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your care will cost. Under this new law, health care providers are to give uninsured patients an estimate of their bill for medical services.
• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
