Rates and Policies

At Down to the Root Denver Therapy, I believe in being transparent about fees and policies so you know exactly what to expect before beginning therapy.

50-minute individual therapy session: $210

At this time, new clients are seen on a private pay basis. Payment is made at the time of service using a credit card or HSA/FSA card.

Some clients choose to use out-of-network benefits to receive partial reimbursement. I’m happy to provide a superbill (itemized receipt) for you to submit to your insurance company.

Most clients begin therapy by meeting weekly or every other week. As therapy progresses and you feel more confident and grounded, we may move to monthly sessions for ongoing support.

Session Costs

At this time, new clients are seen on a private pay basis.

Some clients choose to use out-of-network benefits to receive partial reimbursement for therapy. If your plan includes these benefits, you can submit a “superbill” (an itemized receipt I provide) to your insurance company for reimbursement.

If you’re planning to use out-of-network benefits, it can be helpful to contact your insurance provider and ask:

  • Do I have out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health?

  • What percentage of the fee will be reimbursed?

Insurance & Out-of-Network Benefits

Your therapy time is reserved just for you. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice.

  • Late cancellations (within 24 hours) are subject to the full session fee.

  • Flexible rescheduling option: I reserve several spots in my weekly calendar for reschedules. If you cancel within 24 hours and are charged the late fee, you may schedule a free make-up session (as availability allows).

  • No-shows are not eligible for a free reschedule.

I know life happens! My aim is to offer as much flexibility as I can while maintaining a consistent schedule.

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate”  explaining how much your medical care will cost. 

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have  insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical  items and services.  

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. 

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. 

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. 

• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. 

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate,  visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call the Colorado Division of Insurance at  303-894-7490 or 1-800-930-3745.
