Fees

Pricing

Our initial phone consultation is complimentary, regardless of length of time.

My full fee is $150 for individuals and $175 for couples. This applies to a standard 50 minute session.

I reserve the right to increase fees on an annual basis, or if your financial circumstances improve. You will be given 30 days notice should your fee increase. I am open to discussing fee negotiation should your financial circumstances decline as well.

Cancellations
I require at least 24 business hours notice if you need to cancel our appointment. If you cancel with less than 24 business hours, you will be charged your full fee for the missed session, unless we are able to reschedule for a later time in the same week. If I am not able to accommodate you, you will be charged your full fee for the missed session.

If you do not show up for our appointment and do not contact me to let me know, I will consider this a “no show” and you will be charged your full fee for the missed session.

If you are more than 10 minutes late and do not contact me to let me know, I will consider this a “no show” and you will be charged your full fee for the missed session. You may choose to attend the session late and pay the full fee.

I will offer one “freebie” per year. This applies to, but is not limited to: illness, car trouble, forgetting session, double booking, etc. Missed sessions due to emergency situations, at my discretion, will not be charged.

Why is therapy so expensive? Therapy is expensive, I admit it. It is also an important investment into your mental health, well-being, and personal growth. And trust me, you are worth it!

Private practice therapists are running their own small businesses. In order to continue to do the work we love, we have to cover our monthly expenses (including, but not limited to: office rent, utilities, marketing costs, professional insurance, retirement, etc.), quarterly taxes, continuing education and training, as well as earn enough of a living to pay for all the traditional bills that you pay as well (mortgage/rent, car, health insurance, bills, food, gas, etc.).

Your fee, paid consistently, based on the guidelines of my pricing policy support my business operations as well as my livelihood. Thank you for seeing your mental health and my ability to provide psychotherapy as a valuable service worth paying for.

Good Faith Estimate Notice
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients 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. 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.
