I am an in-network provider for the University of Chicago Student Health Plan (USHIP). If you do not have this insurance, I am an out of network provider and do not bill your insurance company. By not accepting insurance, I am able to provide you with quality care that is not dictated by third parties. I can provide you with a superbill for your sessions to submit to insurance. Some insurance plans may reimburse you for your session fees. You are encouraged to contact your insurance company to inquire about any potential reimbursement.

Treatment of an eating disorder typically takes 6 months to a year, though varies person to person, usually depending on length and severity of the disorder.

A therapist is a broad term for behavioral health providers with different levels of education and training. Psychologists (PsyD or PhD) undergo the most extensive training, including a 5 -year doctoral program, including at least 4 years of clinical training, research, and a post-degree fellowship. Counselors (LCPC), Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT), and Social Workers (LCSW) typically complete a 2-year master’s program with one year of clinical training. Coach is an unregulated term that does not have specific requirements. Since training varies, ask your therapist about their qualifications to ensure they are able to best help you reach your goals.
