I work with a range of clients that present a variety of circumstances. All of my clients are seeking some shift in being.

During our initial meeting we will discuss your specific areas of concern as well as assess if we are the right fit. We can also do a brief version of this on the telephone. It is important that you understand that no matter what treatments we are using, the focus is always on some relief that you seek. Every client I have met with who improves takes action. That can be as simple as self-observation and an inner commitment to your work.

We will create a plan together and discuss how it can best work in your day-to-day life. At first weekly meetings are useful to gather information and form a therapeutic relationship. Then every two or three weeks may be best. Appointments become check-ins about how the plan (your actions) are going (how you are feeling; subjective and objective results), and we make alterations as indicated.

Rates & Insurance

Rates:

  • Average Session Fee: $170

Payment:

Payment is made using PayPal. I will send a link and it must be paid prior to our first meeting. The day of is fine.

Insurance:

  • If you choose to meet with me and want to use insurance as out of network, two things have to be met: 1) you have to meet the symptoms of a medical diagnosis and 2) your insurance has to accept a bill from an out of network LPC.  To find out about #2, you will call your insurance company to determine if they provide reimbursement for out of network Licensed Practicing Counselors. *Understand that you are responsible for the entire fee, no matter how much your insurance pays for a service. I will give you a bill with information your insurance needs to process the out of network claim if they allow it.

Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Coverage Parity laws require most health plans to apply similar rules to mental health benefits as they do for medical/surgical benefits. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions of your insurance provider:

  • Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
  • What is my deductible and has it been met?
  • How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
  • What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
  • Is approval required from my primary care physician?

Please note the cancellation policy: I require at least 24 hours’ notice for a cancellation. If you are a no-show or late cancel, the fee is $100.  If it is an emergency, contact me as soon as possible. If you have an on-call work requirement, this is something you want to disclose up front and we will discuss.
