Fees & Insurance

Fees: ​

My standard fee is $250 for a 45 minute individual session, and $300 for 45 minute sessions with couples or multiple partners.

Insurance: ​

Couch and blanket - fee and insurance informationClients with Aetna will pay the negotiated rate with the insurance company. For clients not under Aetna, I can provide you with a weekly billing statement for out-of-network reimbursement if you wish to submit it to your insurance company. This statement is your receipt for tax or insurance purposes.

NOTE:​ Some or all your fees may be covered by your health insurance if you have outpatient mental health coverage. However, insurance companies do not reimburse all conditions that may be the focus of psychotherapy. It is your responsibility to verify the specifics of your coverage.

Please remember that my services are provided and charged to you, not your insurance company, so you are responsible for payment. Fees you pay for therapy services that are not reimbursed by insurance may be deductible as medical expenses if you itemize deductions on your tax return.

Sliding Scale:

I offer some lower-fee slots, based upon income and circumstances. If my fee is a concern, please discuss it with me. If I am unable to accommodate your financial situation, I will provide you with referrals for clinicians who can meet your needs. If we arrange a reduced fee and we are meeting weekly, we will discuss a fee increase if you decide to reduce the frequency of our meetings.

Cancellation Fee: ​

If a session is cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, there will be a $100 charge paid at the time of your next session.

Acceptable forms of payment include cash, checks, and major credit cards. Payment is expected at the time of service. I do not bill secondary insurance.
