Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your care may cost.

You can ask for one before your first session and at any point after.
Common questions
Questions about fees and payment.
Is the first consultation really free?
Yes. The consultation is complimentary and carries no obligation. It is a chance to describe what is going on, ask about Miriam’s approach, and decide together whether the fit feels right. You can schedule it online through the secure SimplePractice page or call the office.
Do you take insurance?
Questions about insurance, out-of-network reimbursement, and payment options are answered during the consultation so the information you receive is current and specific to your situation. Bring your questions; there is no wrong time to ask about cost.
What is a Good Faith Estimate?
Under the federal No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a written estimate of expected costs for care before you begin, if you are uninsured or not using insurance. You can request one at any time. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services explains the protections at cms.gov/nosurprises.
Are virtual sessions priced differently from in-office sessions?
Ask during your consultation. Whatever the format, virtual and in-office sessions receive the same length, preparation, and attention. Many clients mix formats over time depending on travel and schedule.
