Invest in YOUR Life
FREE INITIAL PHONE CONSULTATION
I offer free 15-minute phone consultations prior to scheduling your first appointment. This will allow us to get to know each other a little and decide if we think we might be a good fit. Your comfort level is most important! I will provide additional details about my practice and ask you to tell me a little about your reasoning for seeking counseling services.
SESSION RATES
- Individual counseling session: $155
- Extended individual counseling/EMDR session: $175
- Couples Counseling: $180
- Psychedelic sessions: $155-$375, cost varies depending on phase of treatment and length of dosing sessions
Sometimes there’s a lot to talk about and it just doesn’t make sense to stop. I want to honor those moments with you. If time allows and we can keep going, I will pro-rate the fee in 5 minute increments.
INSURANCE
I accept Aetna and United/UMR insurance plans.
I am an out-of-network provider for all other insurance companies. I will work with you to submit a monthly statement to bill your insurance. Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for out-of-network psychotherapy services.
Benefits of paying for therapy yourself
Sometimes people seeking therapy opt to pay for services without utilizing insurance. There are both advantages and drawbacks of out-of-pocket payment and using private health insurance. Obviously, the biggest drawback of out-of-pocket pay is the immediate expense. However, there are advantages of private pay that may make the expense worth considering.
CARE WITHOUT STIGMA
Most insurance providers require a mental health diagnosis in order for counseling to be covered. When clients pay out-of-pocket, there is no requirement of a mental health diagnosis for treatment. Additionally, your session may be tax deductible.
CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY
Clients who pay out of pocket are guaranteed that the only people who know any of the details of counseling are themselves and their therapist. Aside from normal limits to confidentiality, counseling is completely confidential, without any third party being privy to information exchanged in session.
FINDING THE BEST FIT FOR YOU
Having a choice is an important factor when it comes to finding someone you trust with your personal concerns. You may, for instance, prefer seeing someone who was personally recommended to you. When you use your insurance plan, your options are usually limited to therapists within your insurance provider’s network.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
If you cannot afford my fees, please don’t be afraid or ashamed to talk to me about your concerns. I have a limited number of sliding scale therapy slots.
CANCELLATION POLICY
I require at least 24 hours notice should you need to cancel or change your counseling appointment. Failure to provide at least 24 hours notice will result in a full rate charge for your missed appointment.
