As an attachment-informed therapist I believe that consistency is especially important for those of us with histories of trauma, insecurity, and family dysfunction.

That being said, I require all clients to make a commitment of weekly therapy sessions for the first 4 months of treatment, after which we can both explore whether bi-weekly sessions would be appropriate.

I also offer 2x weekly attachment-informed psychotherapy for clients with histories of complex trauma, disorganized attachment, and/or dissociative disorders.

Each appointment is approx. 55-60 minutes in length and can be extended (to 70 minutes) or shortened (to 45-50 minutes) if needed on a case-by-case basis.

Absolutely! All virtual appointments are held via a HIPAA compliant video conferencing platform to ensure secure privacy in on online meeting space.

Clients meeting virtually must also meet in a location that provides physical privacy where they feel comfortable with openly expressing their thoughts and feelings. I encourage the use of headphones for further confidentiality.

All sessions require a signed consent (HIPAA form) in order for conversation to occur with outside sources with the following exceptions per state law and professional ethics:

1) If the therapist has reason to suspect the client is seriously in danger of harming him/herself or has threatened to harm another person.

2) Suspected past or present abuse or neglect of children. adults, and elders.

3) If a judge were to subpoena a client's records and therapist is mandated to turn them over.

I am currently in-network with Aetna.

I am out-of-network with all other insurance plans.

What is an out-of-network provider?

This means that I am not formally affiliated with any insurance plans. Instead clients pay me directly for services and your insurance is then informed of payment so that you can be reimbursed for your out-of-pocket expenses through your out-of-network benefits..

Payment Options: Cash, Credit/Debit Card, Check, HSA/FSA Card

Clients Utilizing their Out-of-Network Benefits:

- My standard rate is $150.00 for a reserved 60-70 minute appointment slot within my schedule.

- I reserve a few 60-70 minute appointment slots in my schedule for clients in need of a reduced rate. Inquire directly with Anthony Dimitrion, LCSW, CST to learn more.

What are Out-of-Network (OON) Insurance Benefits?

Many insurance plans include some form of Out-of-Network benefits along with your primary In-Network benefits. Out-of-Network benefits can be used to see medical and mental health providers who are not formally members of your insurance plan's network.

How much do OON Insurance Benefits Cover?

Most insurance plans reimburse 40%-80% of your monthly mental health expenses. Some insurance plans have an OON deductible that must be met before they agree to reimburse you for OON expenses.

How do I find out what my OON Insurance Benefits are?

Connecting via telephone with your insurance provider to request your OON benefits information is the easiest way! When contacting them I encourage you to ask them the following questions:

1) Do I have OON benefits?

2) Do I have a deductible that needs to be met? If so, how much is it?

3) What percentage will I get reimbursed once my deductible is met (if you have one)?

4) How do I submit to you the monthly superbill (big receipt) my therapist gives me?

Anthony Dimitrion, LCSW can assist you in verifying your benefits when an initial 60-min consultation is schedule.

How does payment work if I use my OON Insurance Benefits?

As an out-of-network psychotherapist you would pay me our agreed upon per scheduled session rate each week. Unlike other providers who expect you to do all of the legwork around submitting a monthly superbill (big receipt) to your insurance plan, I submit a claim on your behalf directly to your insurance provider after each session.

What this ultimately means is that you will meet your deductible faster and get reimbursed quicker than if you had to wait until the end of the month to complete the process.

How long does it typically take to get reimbursed by my insurance plan?

The average turnaround time for reimbursement varies by insurance plan. Typically once you meet your deductible (if you have one) turnaround time is approx. 2-4 weeks from claim submission.

Once your deductible is met you really are only paying out of pocket for 1-2 months of therapy before you begin to receive your insurance reimbursement checks in the mail.

* Some insurance plans also offer direct deposit of reimbursement (inquire directly with your insurance plan to learn more).
