Rates
The initial consultation session is free.
Individual therapy sessions are $160-170 per 50-minute session.
Interim phone consultation sessions are offered at $170/hour, with the first 15 minutes being free. Fee will be prorated in accordance with length of phone call.
If you do not have insurance coverage or fall below a certain income level, you may qualify for sliding scale fees. Please note that I have limited sliding scale openings.
Insurance
I do not currently accept insurance for therapy services for many reasons. I have found that many insurance companies place restrictions on the length of therapy a client can receive, without knowing the nuances and conditions of your individual experience, and I believe that an insurance company who has never met you should not get to make that decision for us. There is also a compromise of confidentiality, as insurance companies require that I disclose certain information to them.
However, if you prefer to use your insurance benefits, my services may qualify as an out-of-network provider. While I will collect fees directly from you, you are able to submit the billing statements to your insurance company for reimbursement (typically 50%-80%). Please consult with your insurance company prior to your consultation appointment to determine your benefits and out-of-network coverage.
Payment
Payment is due at the time of service. Cash, checks, and credit cards (American Express, MasterCard, Visa, Discover) are accepted. Credit card payments are subject to a processing fee.
Cancellation/No-Show Policy
Client who do not notify me within 24 hours of their appointment time that they need to cancel will be charged for the full session fee. Clients who no-show for their sessions without any notification will also be charged for the full session fee.
