Invest in Yourself
Choosing therapy is a commitment to your growth, clarity, and stability. Many men spend years carrying stress and pressure alone, unsure how to create real change. Investing in yourself can help you understand what is weighing on you and build the life you want moving forward. You deserve support that strengthens your future, not just your present.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
Most people want to know two things right away as they look for therapy.
What does it cost, and what do I get for it.
I offer three payment pathways.
This page explains rates, insurance coverage, and payment options for men seeking online therapy across Ohio. You can pay privately (self pay), you can use insurance, or you can use a superbill to request out-of-network reimbursement. Each option works for different reasons, and I am here to help you understand which one fits you best.
PRIVATE PAY AND SELF PAY
Private pay allows for greater privacy, since no insurance claim is submitted unless you request a superbill. Many of the men I work with prefer to pay privately. It gives them more control over their care and keeps their therapy focused on the areas that matter most without insurance restrictions or requirements.
Private pay may be right for you if you want:
Maximum privacy with fewer outside parties involved
No diagnosis in your medical record unless you request it
Greater flexibility with scheduling and session focus
A simpler process without insurance paperwork
Treatment centered on your goals, not insurance requirements
Private pay creates a space that is fully yours. Many men describe it as an investment in clarity, stability, and long term personal growth. It is often chosen by men navigating major life transitions, career stress, burnout, fatherhood pressures, or identity shifts who want therapy to remain private and uncomplicated.

Payment is due at the time of service and can be made by debit card, credit card, HSA, or FSA. If you choose private pay and would like to seek out of network reimbursement, I will provide you with a superbill after each session - more on this below.
If you have questions about cost, coverage, or what option makes the most sense, feel free to reach out for a free consultation.
WHAT IS A SUPERBILL
Requesting reimbursement from your insurance plan
A superbill is a detailed invoice that I provide if you decide to pay privately but want to use your out of network benefits. It includes all the information your insurance company typically requires to process possible reimbursement.
A superbill includes:
Your name and identifying information
My name, credentials, NPI, and practice information
The date and type of service
The CPT code and diagnosis code
The exact amount you paid
Many PPO plans and employer sponsored plans offer out-of-network benefits. Every plan is different, so here is how to check your coverage.
How to check your out-of-network benefits
Call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask:
Do I have out-of-network mental health coverage.
What percentage does my plan reimburse for individual therapy.
What is my out-of-network deductible and how much of it have I met.
Do I need to submit a claim form along with the superbill.
Where do I send the superbill and claim form.
After each session I will send you a superbill. You submit it to your insurance company and they handle the processing. Reimbursement is not guaranteed because it depends entirely on your plan, deductible, and benefit structure, but many men find this option affordable and straightforward.
