Dr. Moshfegh’s fees are set based on her years of practice, credentials, and community standards.

If we are unable to accommodate you, we are happy to provide you referrals to lower fee mental health centers.

Dr. Moshfegh does not participate in any insurance panels, however, she can provide you with a “superbill” at the end of the month to submit if you have an insurance plan that offers “out-of-network” coverage (usually a PPO plan). You may then submit the superbill you receive from Dr. Moshfegh for reimbursement. Insurance providers typically reimburse 50-80% of session costs. Coverage varies widely, so please check with your provider via phone or online for specific coverage and rates of reimbursement.

Helpful questions to ask your insurance company:

• Do I have mental health coverage?

• What percentage of my bill will be covered for services obtained by an out-of-network provider?

• How many sessions will be covered per calendar year?

• What is my deductible and has it been met?

Yes, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical 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 bill for medical items and services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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.

Your first individual therapy session will consist of a 60-minute intake, in which your current concerns and history will be thoroughly discussed. An individualized plan will also be developed based on your current difficulties and goals for treatment. If it is determined that you may benefit from other or additional services, you will be provided with necessary referrals.

Evidence-based therapy uses techniques and strategies that have been researched by scientists and determined to be effective in clinical trials. Cognitive behavioral therapy is an example of an approach that is generally highly effective for insomnia, anxiety, depression, and many other common concerns.

This, however, does not mean therapy is a "one size fits all" approach. There are always factors that contribute to a specific therapy being more or less effective for a particular client, similar to how different people respond differently to foods and medication. To assess which techniques will be the most helpful for you, ongoing monitoring and feedback regarding your progress will take place.

The length of treatment varies greatly from person to person, and is largely determined by the extent of the difficulties you are experiencing as well as identified goals for treatment. For fairly straightforward issues, therapy sessions may range from four to six months. For more complex and long standing difficulties or challenges, it may be necessary to dedicate more time to treatment. Collaborative feedback and evaluation will be an ongoing process throughout treatment to identify whether more or less time in therapy is needed.

There are many manners in which people experience growth. Several common indicators of progress may include a reduction in symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other mental health difficulties, an improvement in the relationships between family members, an improvement in social and role (i.e., school or work) functioning, and greater self-awareness or insight. An ongoing process of collaborative monitoring and discussion of goals can help to assess the effectiveness of treatment.
