Appointments & Fees
Therapy is an investment in yourself, your relationships, and your future. The work we do together can transform patterns, restore connection, and help you build the life you want. Below is what you need to know about scheduling, fees, and policies.
Session Fees
Initial Intake Session
-
50–55 minutes: $275
Your first session includes a comprehensive review of your history, assessment (as needed), and treatment planning. This session requires additional time before and after to review paperwork, conceptualize your case, and develop a plan, which is reflected in the fee.
Standard Sessions
-
Individual Therapy: $250 for 50 minutes
-
Couples Therapy: $250 for 50 minutes
Extended Sessions
-
100 minutes: $500 (for intensive work)
Phone or Consultation Calls
-
Billed at $75 per 15 minutes (available only in special situations).
Payments
Session fees are collected at the beginning of each appointment. I accept:
-
Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express
-
HSA/FSA cards
-
Cash (exact change only)
Scheduling & Frequency
Most couples benefit from weekly sessions at the start to build momentum, then transition to biweekly or monthly as progress stabilizes. I offer midday, afternoon, and evening appointments to fit your schedule.
Questions or ready to schedule? I offer a complimentary phone consultation so we can discuss your goals and determine if we’re the right fit.
Insurance and Out-of-Network Provider Information
I do not contract with insurance. Here’s why: The insurance model requires an “identified patient” and diagnosis, which conflicts with the systemic approach essential to couples therapy. It can undermine the work by making one partner the focus rather than the relationship.
However, I can provide a superbill for both individual and couples sessions if you wish to submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Please check with your insurance provider regarding your benefits.
Contact your insurance company directly to find out if you have out of network benefits (PPO, POS or out-of-network is often printed on your insurance card). Below are some questions to ask your insurance provider when you call the number on the back of your insurance card:
- Do I have out-of-network mental health insurance benefits? (Some companies call these behavioral health benefits.)
- What is my deductible and has it been met?
- How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
- What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
- Is approval required from my primary care physician?
- What is the address to send my "super bill" or invoice in order to be reimbursed?
Cancellation Policy
Your time is reserved for you. To maintain fairness and protect availability for all clients:
-
48 hours’ notice is required for cancellations or reschedules.
-
Cancellations within 48 hours or no-shows will result in a $125 late cancellation fee.
-
If this occurs a second time, the full session fee will be charged.
-
To avoid a fee, you may convert your in-person session to an online session by emailing me in advance.
This policy ensures I can serve both current clients and those waiting for openings while maintaining a viable practice. Thank you for respecting these boundaries.
