Frequently asked questions

  • Schedule a 15-minute consultation with me at https://pathforwardcounselingllc.clientsecure.me. Currently, due to insurance contracts, some cases may transfer to Headway as an intermediary to assure access to insurance billing.

  • A free consultation will review your concerns, a brief review of therapeutic style, discuss payments and scheduling.

  • Sessions are available via Telehealth or in-person. Sessions available in Plymouth beginning July 1st on Tuesday-Thursday or Monday mornings in Blaine. Telehealth available from Monday-Friday.

  • Currently, credentialed with Aetna, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Carelon, Cigna, Optum and United Behavioral Health. Contracts are pending with Health Partners, Medica, and TriCare and have a waitlist for individuals who are in one of those plans.
    Self-pay with superbills are available for those interested and not on a credentialed insurance plan.

  • Some people choose to pay out of pocket for therapy to maintain greater privacy, avoid receiving a mental health diagnosis, or work with a therapist who isn’t on insurance panels. This can be especially important for individuals in careers with strict reporting requirements—such as aviation or military deployment—where a documented mental health diagnosis might impact their status. Private pay offers flexibility in scheduling, treatment approach, and session length without insurance restrictions, allowing for faster access, uninterrupted care, and a therapist who feels like the right fit. Many see it as a meaningful investment in their well-being and performance.

  • You’re welcome to cancel or reschedule appointments at no charge with at least 48 hours notice. For late cancellations or missed appointments, a $50 fee may apply. Please note that insurance will not cover late fees and this will be the responsibility of the client. I understand that unexpected things come up, so once per year, I’ll gladly waive one late cancellation or no-show fee. Your time is valuable, and so is the sustainability of this practice—thank you for understanding and honoring this policy.
