I do not accept insurance. Insurance requires a diagnosis for coverage, and can place limits on the length and type of care I can offer you. I prefer to offer therapy in a flexible, supportive, and non-pathologizing way.
If you’d like, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. This does require that I give you a diagnosis.

The answer to this depends on your unique needs and goals for therapy. Typically, I work with clients for as little time as 3 months, to years. You are not ever required to stay in therapy. You have the right to terminate sessions at any time, or request a referral.
In order for the process of therapy to have the most benefit, I do recommend that while we work together, our sessions are not spaced out more than every-other week.

When we book an appointment, I will email and/or text you a secure link through a platform called SimplePractice. You do not need to download anything to use Simple Practice- you will just need access to a laptop or phone with good internet connection.
Please make sure to join our appointment from a comfortable and confidential location.

Under the No Surprises Act, health care providers are required to provide individuals who are uninsured or who choose not to use their insurance with a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges for health care services.
If you are paying for therapy services out of pocket (without using insurance), you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate that outlines the anticipated cost of your care.
Your Good Faith Estimate will include expected costs for psychotherapy services and any other reasonably anticipated charges related to your treatment. Because therapy is personalized, the total cost of care may vary depending on your individual needs, treatment goals, and the number of sessions we determine are appropriate together.
You may request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling services or at any time during your care.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than the amount listed on your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill through the federal patient-provider dispute resolution process.
For more information about your rights under the No Surprises Act, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
If you have questions about the cost of therapy or would like to request a Good Faith Estimate, please contact Victoria Shore Wellness before your first appointment. I'm happy to answer questions and help you understand what to expect financially so you can make an informed decision about your care.
