SESSION RATES  (Individuals, couples, families)

RATES FOR PROCESS GROUPS

RATES FOR CONSULTING & COACHING SERVICES

Fees for coaching and consulting typically default to the above session rates, but can also be arranged on a project basis, a per diem basis, or an “open-access” basis, depending on the situation.

The most suitable of these options is usually discernible after an initial assessment period during which context is gathered and a goals are clarified. This initial assessment period is typically charged on a per session basis. If you’re interested in coaching or consulting services, please contact me for more information.

Intensives

With advanced notice, half-day, full-day, and multi-day intensive appointments can be arranged for clients who are traveling from a distance. Please contact me for more information.

Telephone & Videoconference services
In certain circumstances, I offer these services by telephone or over the internet. 

Reduced fee services
I have a limited number of reduced fee slots for clients in financial need. Please inquire as to availability. 

Payment
Payment is due at time of service unless arranged otherwise in advance. Cash, checks, Zelle, and other online payments are accepted.

Cancellation policy
If you do not make it to a scheduled appointment, and you have not given at least two full business days notice (i.e. 48 hours exclusive of weekends), you’ll be responsible for paying the full cost of the time reserved.

AVAILABILITY

I try to meet with anyone who reaches out for help.

There are, however, limits to the number of people I can actively work with at any given time. If I’m unable to work with you myself, chances are I can help you find a good fit. I have a long list of highly skilled supervisees, former students, and experienced colleagues working across the country and around the world. 

INSURANCE

Insurance is not accepted for coaching or consulting services, but if you have a diagnosable condition and wish to use insurance for therapy services, I will provide receipts coded to insurance industry specifications. Payment is due at time of service, but if you submit my receipts to your insurance company, they will reimburse you in accordance with your plan. Some people use the software app called “Reimbursify,” which takes care of the entire reimbursement process for you. Either way, I’m glad to answer questions and offer guidance about how to navigate the insurance landscape.

Since I work exclusively for you, I don’t take direct payment from insurance companies. I am an “out-of-network” provider, which enables me to deliver the highest quality of care, with individualized attention, and complete confidentiality. 

Anyone choosing to use insurance for psychotherapy should be aware that all insurance companies require the therapist to provide a psychiatric diagnosis which will enter your medical record. Without a psychiatric diagnosis, insurance companies will not reimburse for psychotherapy services.

If you intend to use your insurance, please check your coverage carefully by asking your plan’s representative the following questions:

* Do I have mental health benefits?

* What is my annual deductible?

* How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?

* How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?

* What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

* Is prior authorization required from my primary care physician?

“NO SURPRISES ACT” NOTICE:

The Federal No Surprises Act went into effect on January 1, 2022 to protect patients from surprise medical bills. As a result, all licensed health providers who offer out of network services are required to post a notice of “your rights and protections against surprise medical bills” on our websites or in our physical offices.

You may know that many people have been harmed by surprise medical bills, often incurred during emergency or surgical care where out of network providers become involved in a patient’s care without their knowledge. It is unlikely this could occur when receiving my services as there should be no situation in which other providers would be involved without your knowledge, or in which you would “inadvertently” receive care from me, or in which you would receive care with no choice. Further, I do not engage in surprise or balance billing. My rates are posted publicly on my website, and – in accordance with the No Surprises Act – I will provide a Good Faith Estimate of the costs of services prior to a first session if you request one. I will also provide the same at any time in the course of our work together. You can always ask me about costs, and you will be provided clear, accurate information.
