~FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS REGARDING FEES, POLICIES AND FORMS~
What type of therapy services do you offer?
I offer face-to-face and phone therapy sessions.
What is your fee?
My standard fee for face-to-face or phone therapy is $110.00 per 50 minute therapy hour.
Do you offer a sliding scale?
Approximately 25% of my client slots are open for lower fees. If you cannot afford my standard fee, inquire about the availability of a lower fee slot. This applies to face-to-face and phone therapy sessions.
Do you take insurance?
I currently do not take insurance. Unfortunately, this means more out-of-pocket expense for the client, however, many people prefer the privacy that contracting directly with the therapist provides. With insurance, some are concerned about keeping their psychotherapy records private - which is not the case if insurance is used. Others worry that a particular diagnosis might limiting their future insurability. If you’re interested in seeing me and still would like to try to go via your insurance, check with them about their out-of-network policy. It’s possible you can receive partial reimbursement. Upon request, I’m happy to provide a monthly statement of services for you to submit.
What forms of payment do you take?
I take cash and personal checks. I can take online payments ahead of sessions via my Google Checkout or Paypal accounts (see below). I don't currently take credit cards at my office.
Will be sessions be confidential?
The therapist-client relationship is confidential but there are exceptions. I am legally bound to report child abuse and elder abuse. I am also required to report intentions to commit homicide or do grave bodily injury to another. Lastly, I am bound to break confidentiality to protect a client who is actively suicidal.
What is your cancellation policy?
I have a 24 hour cancellation policy – if you need to cancel a session, please call 24 hours prior to your scheduled session to avoid incurring a full fee charge.
