Scheduling and Fees

I do not accept insurance. Fees are due in full at the time of service.

Please call the office at 828-457-9553 to inquire about my fee structure.

I accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards.

If you have a financial hardship, check www.openpathcollective.org for a provider who may be able to offer discounted services.

Insurance Info:  My practice is private pay, meaning I do not file insurance claims. I can provide you with a statement and your insurer may partially reimburse you. Please check with your insurer to verify coverage for outpatient mental health services with out-of-network providers.

Medicare:  I am not a Medicare provider.  If you have Medicare and would like to consider being a client, Medicare requires us to enter into a private pay contract, which indicates that you realize Medicare will not pay for or reimburse you for my services.

Medicaid: I am not a Medicaid provider.  If you have Medicaid and would like to consider being a client, not only will Medicaid not pay or reimburse for my services, but they will not cover any medications prescribed by a non-approved/Medicaid enrolled provider.

New Patients:  I am currently accepting new patients.  Please call 828-457-9553 to schedule an appointment.

If you are in crisis and can’t wait, please see the Help page for other resources.

Existing patients:  We are migrating to a new Electronic Health Record system.  Please call or email the office for an invitation.  It provides a nice interface to select your own appointment time from all available openings.
