Equitable Pricing and Transparency
I’m all about creating a practice that integrates individual healing with community healing—one can’t thrive without the other.
My pricing model is designed to be equitable in supporting the humans who engage with Moxie Wellness Co. and to better support communities of healing.
Providing pricing transparency is also an important aspect of equitable care. Gatekeeping pricing behind a free consultation call where I give you a sales pitch that lands you in my office is simply not my style. I believe that everyone needs the opportunity to be informed so they can make decisions that align with their budgets.
Another aspect of transparency is letting you know that I am currently out of network (OON) with insurance companies.
Please note: Insurance will NOT reimburse you if you choose a discounted rate. If you intend to submit a superbill to your insurance company, you automatically fall into the “Thrive” category.
Calculating your rate
In a world that thrives on scarcity, embracing equity can feel tough. Financial stability helps us meet our basic needs together. Some folks might feel uneasy about paying more than others, but when I ask you to choose a rate, it’s not about what you’d prefer—it’s about what aligns with your ability to pay.
We want to ensure that everyone who can pay market rates does so, even if it means adjusting your budget, so that reduced-fee spots are available for those truly in need.
Right now, this model takes into account your identity, access, and resources. There may be times when I can’t offer reduced rates, but I’m always happy to connect you with others who can help. When we have our consultation phone call, you will self-select the rate that aligns with your ability to pay. Reach out with any questions or ideas!

Which rate is for you?
Why aren’t you in network with insurance companies?
Insurance coverage for mental health services is not as cut and dry as it might seem. There are ethical and practical reasons I prefer to serve my clients without sharing their information with insurance companies.
To make a fully informed decision, I’ll direct you to this article about the nuances surrounding mental health coverage, and this colleague’s blog post about why they don’t accept insurance.
