Rates for therapy depend on the service provided. Please call for more details.

Restorative Psychotherapy is considered “in-network” for Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Health Partners, Optum (Medica and United), UCare, Preferred One, Hennepin Health, Cigna, MA, and Aetna, and “out-of-network” for all others, such as TriCare. What this means is that therapy may or not be covered either partially or in full. If you have insurance which is considered “out-of-network,” we would advise you to call your insurance company first and ask:

Do I have mental health insurance benefits?

Do I have “out-of-network” mental health benefits?

What is my deductible and has it been met?

How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

Information is power, so the more information you have about your insurance plan, the better able you will be to make an informed decision about the right therapist for you. Because insurance can be difficult to understand and navigate, I do submit claims to insurance (both in- and out-of-network) on your behalf.

*Restorative Psychotherapy is considered in-network with most UCare plans. However, we are out-of-network with UCare Fairview plans. If you have any questions regarding your UCare plan, please feel free to call. We are more than happy to help answer any questions.

I understand that therapy can be expensive, especially for those who don’t have insurance. To that end, I do offer a limited number of reduced fee schedules for those who qualify. If this is something you need in order to attend therapy, please call for more information.

Cash, check, and all major credit cards are accepted for payment. Payment for co-payments and deductibles is due at the time of service. Clients not utilizing insurance must pay the amount due in full at the time of service.

Because I reserve a spot for you each week and do not over-schedule appointments, I ask that if you cannot make your appointment to please call or email at least 24 hours in advance. Should you not do this, the policy of Restorative Psychotherapy is to charge for the full cost of the session unless there has been an emergency. Should you have any questions or concerns about this, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Medications such as anti-depressants were never meant to be long-term solutions. If used for the long-term, their effectiveness is decreased over time resulting in either needing to increase the dose or moving to a new drug. The result is that you will always be chasing a new temporary solution.

Therapy, on the other hand, allows you to develop insight, skills, and tools right now that will always be effective – not just now but also in the future. They will not decrease in strength, nor will they negatively affect your body. In our therapy sessions, we will focus on traditional talk therapy, which can provide you with new insight and power which may make medication unnecessary for you in overcoming your issues.

According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, which conducted a meta-analysis of current research on medication vs. therapy, the conclusion was reached that “medication is not superior to cognitive behavior therapy in treating severe depression in the outpatient setting.”
