How much does it cost?
My current rate for ongoing individual psychotherapy is $120 per 55-60 minute session. The initial intake appointment is up to 1.5 hours and $180.
My current rate for couples psychotherapy is $120. For couples, the initial intake appointment is up to 2 hours and $240.
I realize that for many people this is not a small amount of money. Please know I take your investment of time, energy, and money very seriously. Also, consider scheduling a free consultation if you'd like to check things out before you commit.
Sliding-Fee Scale
I retain some space in my schedule for people that need a lower sliding fee. This is not necessarily based strictly on income so please discuss this with me either by phone or at our first appointment to determine if this is possible for you.
Insurance
I do not bill insurance. I am not a 'preferred provider' for any plan.
I may qualify as an 'out of network provider' in your insurance plan. This usually means your insurance company will pay a percentage of my fee, leaving you responsible for the remainder. You will need to check with your insurance plan to determine if this is the case as individual plans vary widely.
I do not bill insurance, rather, if I do qualify as an 'out of network provider' you will pay me and seek reimbursement directly from your insurance company for the allowed amount. This does not apply to Medicare recipients, please see below for Medicare information.
If your employer offers an Employee Assistance Plan (EAP), I may be a provider in that network. Please refer to your HR department or EAP administrator to see if I'm in their network.
Medicare
I am not currently a Medicare provider. I can make services available to Medicare recipients at their request on a fee for service basis. Current regulations and law require that I inform Medicare recipients that they may not submit receipts for my services to Medicare for reimbursement and that they must be made aware that they are engaging my services knowing that they will not be reimbursed by Medicare for my services or any fees paid to obtain those services from me.
Payment
I accept payment by cash, check, or debit/credit card. Payment is due at the time of service unless other arrangements have been made.
Missed appointment and non-payment policies are available in my "Psychotherapy Information and Disclosure Statement." Please contact me for a copy of this statement, and with your questions
