Fees/ Payment/ Insurance Information
Fees
If you are ready for positive and sustainable change, call me for a free consultation.
Once we decide to meet, our initial 50-minute therapy session will be spent getting to know each other, determining our goodness of fit, and discussing the best course of therapeutic action. Generally, therapy sessions will be 50 minutes.
- Individual Psychotherapy Session (50 minutes) – $225
- Couples Psychotherapy Session (50 minutes) – $225
- Individual or Couples Psychotherapy Session (80 minutes) – $290
I offer a limited amount of sliding fee spots in my practice based upon necessity- please call to learn more.
Payment
Payment is due in full at the time of service. I accept cash, check, or credit/debit card.
Insurance
I accept Medicare, and as a courtesy, I will directly bill Medicare for payment of services that you receive.
If you have another type of health insurance policy, it may provide coverage for mental health treatment. Generally, most PPO insurance plans (plans that allow you to choose your doctor) will reimburse you for services that I provide- as I am considered an out-of-network outpatient provider. If desired, I will supply you with a monthly receipt of services that you may submit to you insurance provider for reimbursement of fees that will have been paid at the time of service.
It is advised that you call your insurance company to verify out-of-network coverage for outpatient mental health services.
Late Cancellation and No-Show Policy
You will be charged the full fee for cancelled or rescheduled sessions with less than 24 hours notice.
