Workshops/Presentations
I will hold several workshops throughout the year for individuals, parents, clinicians, teachers, and others who want to learn more about body acceptance and gender identity.
In addition, I am available for hire to present at staff meetings, clinical settings, and any other setting that could use more education about body acceptance and gender identity issues.
Fees for workshops or presentations range from $150-400. Please reach out here to discuss opportunties.
Payment & Insurance
Payment
I accept payment by debit or credit card before or at the time of service.
If you are using a credit card, my preferred method of accepting payments is via IvyPay, a secure and confidential service designed for therapists.
If you’re curious about my payment policies, or my office policies in general, please read about them in more detail in my Welcome Letter/Informed Consent before we begin treatment. If you have questions or concerns about these policies, let's discuss them at the outset, so that there are no surprises as we begin our work together.
Insurance
I am currently accepting Cigna, Aetna, and Carelon Behavioral Health. I am in the process of becoming credentialed with more insurances and will update this list as soon as I am able to accept them. Please confirm with your insurance that Melissa Sivaram, LMHC, LPC through Headway is in network and that mental health services are covered.
If your plan covers out-of-network mental health services; here are some questions to ask your insurance company. I can provide you with a monthly billing statement (often known as a “superbill”) to submit for reimbursement to your insurance company. Payment must be provided to me directly at the time of service.
I also have a few sliding scale spots available. Please contact me for more information on this.
