Rates and Insurance
Rates
My typical fee is $150 per 50-minute session. Sliding scale fees are available on a very limited basis, and range from $100-$150.
Insurance
I do not accept insurance for payment for psychotherapy services. The reason behind this policy is that insurance companies demand confidential information to make decisions about your treatment that they are not competent to make, taking the power away from you and me to determine what is best for you. I can provide the necessary paperwork so that you can submit an "out of network" claim to your insurance for reimbursement. It is always a good idea to contact your individual insurance company first to inquire about their policies regarding this.
Payment
I am happy to accept cash, check, all major credit cards and some HSA/ Flex-spend cards accepted for payment. There is a slight fee for processing credit cards.
Appointment and Cancellation Policy
I generally work with patients on a weekly basis, and sometimes bi-weekly. Once we decide on a time that works for you, I automatically schedule you for that slot. If you need to cancel an appointment, I ask that you give me 24 hours notice, since I often have patients who are looking for a flex spot to fit into. If I do not have 24 hours notice, you may be required to pay the full cost of the session. Exceptions are made for uncontrollable circumstances (i.e., severe inclement weather, school cancellations) and emergencies.
