your therapy questions - answered

Scheduling is simple. I contract with Soul Work Therapy in Champlin, MN, which handles administrative tasks like insurance verification, billing, and your secure client portal. This allows me to focus on providing high-quality, personalized mental health therapy.

📞 You can call or text me at 218-450-8600, complete a contact form or call Soul Work at (763) 746-0842 to get started, or complete a Contact Form to work through me directly. Please have your insurance card and a payment card ready — setup is quick and stress-free.

• Individual Therapy: $150 per session
   
• Group Therapy: $50 to $100 per session
   
• Payments can be made by credit card or made in person via cash or Venmo.
   

Most insurance plans are accepted. Soul Work can verify your benefits before your first appointment, so you know your copay, deductible, or other responsibilities.

• Length: Typical sessions last 45–54 minutes, though some may be shorter or longer depending on your needs.
   
• Frequency: Usually once a week for consistent support. Frequency can be adjusted, and we try to reserve the same weekly time whenever possible.
   

Your first session is an opportunity to:

• Get to know each other
   
• Explore your goals and challenges
   
• Begin a Diagnostic Assessment ($175) if needed, over 1–3 ($150) sessions
   
• Develop a personalized treatment plan
   
• Ask about my approach, training, and how we can work together
   

• Adults (18+)
   
• Adolescents (10–17) with active caregiver involvement
   
• Exceptions for children under 10 in cases of abuse, neglect, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or involvement with social services or the justice system
   

Life coaching is not therapy and is not billed through insurance. Sessions focus on goal-setting, personal growth, and strategies to move forward. Sessions are scheduled and paid directly.

Paying out of pocket offers:

• Greater flexibility and privacy
   
• No limit on sessions per year
   
• No required formal mental health diagnosis
   
• Freedom from administrative or insurance-related limitations
   

This approach allows full focus on healing and growth.

• Provide 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling.

• There is a $100 cancellation for less than 24 hour notice.

• No-Shows are charged the full session amount of $150.
   
• Late arrivals may join up to 20 minutes into the session, but sessions end at the scheduled time, and the full fee applies.
   

This policy protects your time and allows all clients to access care efficiently.

• Payment is due at the time of service (credit or debit card)
   
• Insurance may cover part of your sessions; clients are responsible for any copays, deductibles, or uncovered services
   
• Soul Work can assist with insurance questions or billing questions prior to scheduling.

You may request a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) for therapy services if paying out of pocket or not using insurance. It outlines expected costs based on available information.

• Unexpected costs or insurance reimbursements are not included
   
• If billed $400 or more above your GFE, you may dispute it
   
• Save a copy or photo of your GFE for your records
