Therapy Fees​

My current rates are listed below. I am a fee-for-service therapist which means I do not currently accept insurance. Nonetheless, I am an out-of-network provider for all insurance providers. Please call your insurance to verify out-of-network benefits and coverage details. At your request, I will provide you with a receipt at the end of each month so that you can submit it to your insurance provider.

Picture
​After contacting me and sending your email addresses, each partner will complete an online, confidential assessment prior to scheduling the follow-up sessions. There is a $29 fee for each partner which covers the automatic, digital scoring of the assessments, as well as feedback and specific recommendations that will be printed and reviewed at your follow-up session. 

After each partner completes their online assessment, each partner must schedule a follow-up session independently of each other to allow each partner to review, ask questions, and discuss their personal results of the assessment. This session is offered either
at the standard (50-min) or extend (75-min) rates noted below.  
Standard
$150./50 min
​per partner
Extended
$230./75 min
per partner

Payment & Insurance 

Payment for therapeutic services is made by credit (all major credit cards accepted), check, or cash.
I am a fee-for-service therapist. Although I do not participate with insurance companies, I am considered an out-of-network provider. Only when requested, I will provide you with a receipt at the end of each month so that you can submit it to your insurance provider. It is the client's responsibility to complete and file their insurance forms.
Have Questions? 15 minutes Free Consultation
As a general rule, insurance companies will only pay for therapy if there is a diagnosable clinical condition (i.e., Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, ADHD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, etc.). If you plan to seek reimbursement from your insurance, I recommend calling your insurance provider and asking them the following:
  • “Do you require pre-authorization for me to obtain behavioral health services/counseling from an out of network Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist?”
  • “What is my deductible for an out of network provider?”
  • “What are your reimbursement rates for an out of network provider?”

If you are not seeking reimbursement from your insurance company, you do not have to meet the clinical criteria for a diagnosis to receive counseling services, you have more flexibility regarding what you want to work on during our counseling sessions, and you have more options regarding the frequency and duration of counseling services.

​Cancellation Policy

​

I require a 48-hour cancellation notice. Please see the Therapist-Client Service Agreement for details.

Symbolism of a Tree

A tree is a symbol of antiquity and immense and enduring strength. A general symbolic meaning of a tree can be interpreted as protection. A widespread symbol of the tree is the tree of life, it's body rooted in earth with its crown dancing in the sky. A tree is symbolic of nurturing energies if it is a fruit bearing tree. More tree symbolism and symbolic meanings of the tree represent...a recovery from illness, ambition or wishes fulfilled, having to do with family, blessings, good fortune, stability, shelter and security. - Presley Love
