I am a specialty and out-of-network provider and do not directly bill insurance for counseling services. Two key benefits of paying for services privately include increased patient privacy and more control in our work together.
As an out-of-network provider, I am committed to helping you maximize any out-of-network benefits that you may have. As we prepare to journey together, it will be important for you to verify with your insurance provider if you have any benefits.
At no cost to you, I utilize a HIPAA compliant health care platform named Mentaya that consistently helps clients with out-of-network benefits receive on average 62% of their money back. Additionally, my services qualify for HSA and FSA coverage.
Generally, out-of-network benefit reimbursements can range between 60-80%. If you desire, I will also file claims on your behalf via Mentaya.
By working with Mentaya it is my desire to save you both time and money. This service is completely optional and I do not benefit from your participation. To get an individualized estimate of your reimbursement eligibility, you can use the reimbursement calculator below.

Reimbursement Estimate
My Recommendation
I also recommend verifying the estimate that you receive from Mentaya directly with your insurance provider. For specific questions to ask your provider, please download my free "Out-of-network benefits questions checklist”. This checklist ensures that the estimate you receive from Mentaya is in alignment with and considers any other care that you may have already received from another out-of-network provider.
For all services, I am able to provide you with a superbill which is a detailed payment record with codes that indicate the service received and diagnostic information for insurance reimbursement.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.

DR. VICTORIA DANSEREAU-RYAN, PSY D. Says
"Ruth is holistic"
"I had the absolute pleasure of having Ruth as my colleague. We previously worked closely together in a home-based therapy setting. Ruth was always warm, approachable, and very quickly makes every person in the room feel comfortable with her calm and genuine demeanor. Her therapeutic approach is holistic, compassionate, and healing-centered. I highly recommend Ruth if you are looking for a clinician who is invested in client care, highly skilled, and invested in your emotional growth and healing."
Elayne SMITH, LMFT Says
"Ruth is a joy."
"It's not just Ruth’s significant clinical and technical skills that make her an incredibly skilled therapist, it is also her ability to connect with others. Ruth was a joy to work with because she was consistently authentic with both herself and others, being an embodiment of secure attachment for her colleagues, clients, and employer alike."
Tao H. Says
"Sincere, gentle and sturdy, you'll be hard pressed to find a counselor..."
Sincere, gentle and sturdy, you’ll be hard pressed to find a counselor with whom you can feel safer or more secure. Ruth radiates a genuine compassion that’s not surface level, and a deep intuition about the unique and diverse weights that threaten to capsize a woman’s heart. Ruth holds the kind of space for you where you can truly breathe.
"Ruth moves with empathy, kindness and deep awareness..."
WHITNEY M. Says
"Ruth moves with empathy, kindness, and a deep awareness of how the mind impacts the way one shows up in various spaces. In fact, those exact traits are what drew me to her beautiful spirit when we first connected. She leads with intentionality and counsels with compassion- it’s a pleasure to witness her live out her dream of helping others navigate their healing journey. "
