Counseling for Couples and Individuals
Frequently Asked Questions about Treatment Costs
Do you accept insurance?
I am considered an out-of-network provider on most insurance plans. If you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance company may reimburse you for part of the cost of therapy. Call your insurance company's customer service number to see if you have this type of benefit. Just ask them if you have out-of-network benefits and if the benefit can be used for counseling services. The can also tell you what percentage will be reimbursed and how much deductible, if any, you will need to meet. I'll be happy to provide you with the type of receipt you'll need to submit to your insurance company.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I accept cash, check, Visa, MasterCard and Discover. Payment is due at the start of each session. If you prefer, you can keep a debit or credit card on file with me and I will charge it after each appointment. This allows us to devote the full session time to therapy.
How much will treatment cost?
Individual sessions run for 50 minutes and the fee is $125 per session. Couples sessions are scheduled for 80 minutes and are $150 per session. For individuals or couples experiencing financial hardship, I have a limited number of reduced fee time slots available. Please call if you would like to discuss this option.
How many sessions will I need?
I wish I could answer this question. Individual needs vary greatly. Some people find that a session or two is all they need. Others need several sessions. During the first session we'll be be assessing whether we should set a plan to work together. If we do, sessions are usually scheduled every week or every other week, but it's also fine for you to come once and then play it by ear as far as scheduling future appointments.
