Frequently Asked Questions
What are the fees for the services you provide?
The initial intake session is $275 for both individual and couples therapy. Individual sessions (55-60 minutes) are $225. Couples sessions (55-60 minutes) are $250. Abbreviated individual sessions (30 minutes) are $150.
I see adults (19+) and couples.
Do you accept insurance?
Anne Conroy PhD Counseling, LLC, is an out of network practice for all insurance companies.
Payment is due in full on the day of the visit and is made via credit card which will be securely processed and stored through Bluefin. If you have an HSA or FSA account, you may also use that for payment for your appointments. Many HSA and FSA accounts require verification/authorization to bill therapy sessions.
Clients will be given a "superbill" and receipt upon request for the services provided. These documents can then be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement. The superbill includes the billing codes and diagnostic codes required for insurance reimbursement.
Insurances that include out-of-network benefits often reimburse 20-90% of fees. Each company has different policies for reimbursement, and I encourage you to find out what your plan offers before our initial meeting. I can provide an insurance guide to help you walk through the necessary information with your insurance provider.
How often will we meet?
Some clients prefer weekly sessions, while other clients prefer meeting every other week. Therapy is a significant investment of time, money, and mental energy. You deserve care that is individualized to you and your unique circumstances and concerns. We can come up with a plan together regarding frequency of meetings, modality (in-person, telehealth, or a combination of the two), and interventions that works for you and your life. Additionally, being a private pay provider allows me to be more readily accessible to my clients, should they need to reschedule appointments or contact me outside of session.
Do you offer in-person sessions or virtual sessions?
Both! Some of my clients prefer to travel to my office in West Omaha. Some clients prefer the comfort of their own homes or being able to have a session in the middle of a hectic day.

What is your cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel your appointment, please let me know at least 48 hours in advance. Appointments canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice or a “no-show appointment” will be charged the full session fee.
What is a “Good Faith Estimate”?
A Good Faith Estimate (“GFE”) explains how much your psychological care is expected to cost over a 12-month period. GFE can be calculated by the following: GFE = Fee for initial assessment + Follow up fee based on time × frequency of visits as agreed upon by the psychologist and the client over a 12-month period. Clients will be notified of all additional fees such as missed appointments and others as detailed above if incurred and should be considered by the client in reviewing total costs. You can request a GFE from Anne Conroy PhD Counseling, LLC, before scheduling a session. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than the amount shown in your GFE, you have the right to dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of the GFE. For questions or more information about your right to a GFE, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
What happens during the intake session?
The intake session allows me to gain a greater understanding of your current concerns and the things that are causing you distress. It can feel very heavy on the questions, especially questions regarding your relationships, your history, and your goals. Answering these questions can feel uncomfortable, especially when we just met! My intention is to understand how you view the world in light of what you have experienced, as I believe we are a product of our relationships and experiences. And I promise to lay off the questions going forward.
What happens if I feel like we aren’t a good fit?
There is a therapist out there for everyone, and I may or may not be your cup of tea. That is completely fine! It is my hope that we can talk about what you need from me and how I might be better able to meet your needs. However, I do not want to be a barrier to you getting the treatment you need. I will be more than happy to work with you on finding the appropriate referral to another therapist in the community.
How will I know that I am ready for therapy?
You are ready for therapy if you desire awareness and insight into yourself. You are ready for therapy if you want to make changes in your relationship patterns and set boundaries with others. You are ready for therapy if you want genuine connections with others and are willing to be vulnerable. You are ready for therapy because you deserve to be your authentic self, and you are ready to do the work.
