Insurance & Fees

I am accepting new patients in Washington, DC, and New Mexico. I am not accepting new patients in OH or VA at this time. 
INSURANCE 
 I do accept some insurances: Aetna, Cigna/Evernorth, Presbyterian, Anthem, and United Healthcare. However, it is your responsibility to check with your insurance carrier to see if I am an in-network provider with your specific plan.
Your insurance check to see if specific procedure codes are covered. Services Codes:  99203, 99204, 99213, 99214, 99215, 90833, 90836 
 

​SELF-PAY 

Most of my clients choose not to involve their insurance provider in their treatment.  Here are some of the advantages:

  -  You won’t have a diagnosis label permanently attached to your health record.

  - You can still get help and feel better even if you don't have a formal mental health condition. 

  -  Your records are protected, which means all information about you, including very personal information, cannot be obtained by the insurance company.

  -  Your care is not dictated by the insurance company but by the collaborative efforts formed by my professional education, training, and expertise, and your personal preferences and goals.

I will gladly provide you with documentation for out-of-network benefits.

CWER ​

Creative Writing for Emotional Resilience (CWER) is a literary coaching program  and not a therapeutic modality like Creative Writing for Trauma Recovery (CWTR). Graduates of Dr. Parisi's CWTR program are welcome to continue their emotional growth by participating in CWER. By the end of the CWER program clients will have developed a novel with a main charater based on themselves that can then be self-published. if they chose. Because it is coaching-focused, it is available nationwide.  There are no refunds on coaching services. Missed appointments are charged the full session rates.
