Q: What are the fee's associated with therapy?

​

A:  The fee for individual, couple's or family therapy is $200 for a 50 minute session.  

​

Q: Do you offer a complimentary consultation?

​

A:  Yes, I offer a 15-minute, free phone consultation to help us decide if you are a good fit for the services I offer.

 

Q: What is your cancellation policy?

 

A:  Therapy works best when you attend regularly scheduled appointments.  This means that you may have to schedule doctor's appointments, work and social events around your therapy.  

 

 I have a 72 hour cancellation policy.  Any appointment which is not cancelled within 72 hours, for any reason, will be charged the full rate.  Whenever possible, I will do my best to reschedule your appointment within the same week.  If we are able to reschedule within the week, I will waive the cancellation fee.  Otherwise the full amount is due at the time of the cancelled appointment.

 

Q:  Do you take insurance?

 

A:  I work on a private pay basis, as an "out of network provider".  If you have insurance and would like to seek reimbursement from them, I will provide you with an invoice which has all of the information you need to complete a "superbill" for reimbursement.  Please check with your insurance company ahead time to see if they accept "out of network providers".

 

Q: How long will I need to come to therapy?

​

A: The number of sessions that you will need will depend on the amount of work you want to do.  Some people find what they are looking for  after just one session.  Typically, clients attend therapy weekly for about 5-6 months.  However, I have some clients who have find the weekly support invaluable and will attend for many months or years.

​

Q: What is a Good Faith Estimate/No Surprises Act?

 

A:  Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.  You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during treatment.  If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

 

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, or how to dispute a bill, see your Estimate, or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
