Insurance:
I do not work with insurance companies. In addition to the considerable amount of paperwork and conflicting policies of the numerous insurers, I do not wish to be in a position of attaching a label to a client that becomes a permanent part of a medical record.
Fees:
My fee is sliding scale from $80-$120 for 60-minute individual sessions and $100-$140.00 for 60 minute sessions with more than one person. Fees for groups vary.
Payment:
Payment is made at the beginning or at the end of each 60-minute session unless other arrangements have been made. Payment for telephone sessions is made at the next session or within 15 days. The fee for telephone sessions is the same as the hourly rate.
Appointments:
Making and keeping appointments is key to having a successful experience. If it is necessary to cancel an appointment, please give 24 hours notice in order to avoid being charged for the session. There will be a fee for appointments canceled with less than 24 hours notice.
Ending Psychotherapy:
Closure is important. I ask that my clients agree to a closure session to adequately honor the work they have done in therapy.
Getting Started:
We will determine whether we are a good fit for working together by having an initial interview. From there, we will assess what makes sense as a next step. I offer free 15-20 minute free phone consultations.
