  • Yes — I accept:

    • Aetna

    • Quest Behavioral Health

    • Carelon Behavioral Health through Headway.

    If you carry a different insurance plan, I can provide a detailed superbill you may submit for potential reimbursement. I recommend calling your insurance provider to understand your out-of-network benefits before we begin.

  • You have a right to have your complaints heard and resolved in a timely manner. If we
cannot work things out to your satisfaction, you may file a complaint with our licensing board:

  • I offer both in-person and virtual sessions.

    In-person sessions: Available in Austin, Texas on Thursdays and Fridays

    Virtual sessions: Available throughout the week for clients residing in Texas or Oregon.

    I see clients Monday through Friday with some evening availability.

  • Individual therapy sessions are $175 for 50 minutes. Payment is due at the time of service, and I accept insurance through:

    • Aetna

    • Quest Behavioral Health

    • Carelon Behavioral Health via Headway.

    For those not using insurance: I can provide a superbill for potential out-of-network reimbursement, and I offer a limited number of reduced-fee spots for those needing financial flexibility — though those spots are currently filled.

  • There are some situations where the level of support I can offer as a solo practitioner isn't enough — specifically, active substance use disorders and persistent suicidal ideation require access to crisis resources I'm not able to provide. My hope is always that people find the right fit, and sometimes that means another provider is better positioned to hold what you're carrying. If that's the case, I'll do my best to help you find them.

  • We are required to retain your records for 7 years, or 5 years after a former child client has turned 18. If needed, records can be requested via the portal.

    Administrative charges may apply.

    You may request a copy of your records by contacting the practice owner, Abigail Steinsiek, at abi@somapsyche.co
