I believe therapy should be accessible, affirming, and free of financial guesswork. Here’s how I work with insurance and fees:
Simply Heard Counseling currently accepts the following insurance plans:
In‑Network Plans
• Aetna
• UnitedHealthcare / Optum
• Northwell Direct
• Medicare
• VACCN (Veterans Affairs Community Care Network)
Limited Availability
(Accepting existing clients only; not taking new clients under these plans)
• Carelon Behavioral Health
• NYSHIP / The Empire Plan
No Longer Accepting New Clients Under These Plans

• EmblemHealth / GHI / CBP / PPO
• Cigna
• Medicaid Managed Care
OON
If I’m not in-network with your insurance, you may still be eligible for reimbursement through out-of-network benefits. I can provide a superbill upon request to support that process.
Private pay clients often appreciate:
• Greater privacy and flexibility
• Freedom from diagnosis-based treatment
• Personalized pacing and session structureAdd a description about this item
Self Pay
Standard Session Rates:
$150–$250
(Fees vary based on service type and session length.)

I reserve a limited number of reduced‑fee slots for clients experiencing financial hardship. If you need support, we can talk openly about options during your consultation. Healing should never feel out of reach.

• Secure online payments through my client portal
