Rates and Insurance

$180 for individual sessions

$200 for couple session

I am out of network and do NOT work directly with insurance companies. I opted-out of Medicare and my services are not covered by Medicare. You are responsible for full payment regardless of your insurance benefits.

Depending on your current health plan benefits, you may be eligible to get reimbursed for full or part of my services. I can provide you with a statement so you can ask for reimbursement to your health insurance.

To this end, it is useful if you ask your provider these questions:

• Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?

• Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?

• Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?

• Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?

Payments accepted

Cash, checks and payments using Venmo. My Venmo account is @Elsa-Gueziec.

Cancellation policy

If you need to reschedule a session, I ask that you inform me at least 24 hours (1 business day) in advance. Otherwise, you may be responsible for full payment of the session.

Good-Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. 

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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.
