About Sabrina
The choice to start therapy can be a difficult one. Sometimes life’s greatest challenges also present opportunities for transformation. My desire is to provide a safe and comfortable space where that can occur. Psychotherapy can be a wonderful process to take much needed time for yourself. The world throws a lot at us.
I believe therapy needs to be a conversation-tailored to each person’s individual needs. Collaboration is key and my goal is to help my clients learn skills and strategies to increase coping and find peace. I also believe that change is possible for every person. I’ve been honored to sit with people during trying times and have become a better therapist as a result.
My practice LGBTQA+ affirming and I have extensive training and consultation in providing services for those struggling with gender dysphoria or gender issues. I also provide letters of support for those seeking cross-sex hormone therapy to provide to their physician.
I work with adults of all ages, and a large portion of my practice is made up of college-age students.
I have more than a decade of experience providing individual and group therapy. I have specialized training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing, and utilize mindfulness based approaches. Evidence based treatments and effective therapeutic approaches are used to help assist you in meeting your goals. I also carry my International Certified Gambling Counselor Level 1 certification.
About Tailored Talks Counseling & Conversations
My office is located in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh. There is ample parking on the street and in a public parking lot. The building is ADA accessible and public transportation is close by.
I also have a contract with the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs to submit claims to the Gambling Treatment Reimbursement Fund for those that are eligible. Please ask how we can determine eligibility!
Rates
The private/cash rate for the Initial Evaluation is $150.00 and follow-up appointments are $125.00 per session. All copays, coinsurances and deducible amounts are due at the time services are rendered. Your health coverage will be confirmed and you will be aware of what you will owe prior to your first session.
I collect a credit card which is kept on file and will be used for payment of services unless you wish to use an alternate form of payment.
Cancellation Policy
If you do not show for your scheduled appointment, or you have not provided 24-hour advance notice, you will be billed for the full cost (private-pay rate) of that session.
Transform Yourself Into Who You Are Destined To Be
My desire is to provide a safe and comfortable space where that can occur. Psychotherapy can be a wonderful process to take much needed time for yourself. The world throws a lot at us.
Areas of Focus
Insurance Information

- Highmark BCBS (and all other BCBS plans nationally)

I also have a contract with the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs to submit claims to the Gambling Treatment Reimbursement Fund for those that are eligible. Please ask how we can determine eligibility!
Private-Pay
If you prefer to not utilize your health plan for any reason, you are welcome to pay via cash, check or credit card at the time of service. You may also use your FSA/HSA cards to pay for services rendered.
Out Of Network Billing
Your plan may offer out-of-network benefits which means you could be partially or fully reimbursed for the payment you make for our session. Every month you can receive a statement and a superbill, which can be submitted to your plan for consideration. Note that you are responsible for the full hourly rate at the time session is conducted, and that there is no guarantee that your health plan will reimburse you the full or partial amount. Also note that a Superbill will include a diagnosis, similarly to if I was submitting a claim to your insurance company.
Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your behavioral health 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.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, please feel free to contact Sabrina Heller at 412-298-2773 or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
