Policies & Fees for therapy

I am available for sessions during morning, afternoon and evening hours at various times throughout the work week. The best way to get started is for you to call or email me. At that point we can discuss your needs on the phone and decide when to schedule an appointment. Alternatively if I feel you would be better served by another clinician, I can refer you to someone who better fits your needs.


Payment
Cash and checks are accepted forms of payment.


Sliding Scale
I do not offer a sliding scale but I can provide services at a reduced rate in some extreme circumstances.


Insurance
I am not currently an in-network provider for any particular network. This is due to my commitment to keeping our work completely confidential without the involvement of third parties. However, you may still be eligible and choose to pursue insurance reimbursement for all or part of my services depending on the details of your particular provider and policy. If you would like to pursue insurance support for our work together, then I would recommend that you call your provider and ask the following questions. When we meet we can then discuss details of billing.


Does my policy cover mental health benefits?

Does my plan include coverage for Out-of-Network providers?
How much does my plan cover for an Out-of-Network Provider?
What is my deductible and has it been met?
How many therapy sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?
What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
Is approval required from my primary care physician?


Cancellation Policy

Except in the most extreme situations, if you do not arrive for your scheduled appointment, and you have not given at least 24 hours notice, you will be required to pay the full cost of that session.  I am happy to reschedule your appointment if you have a planned absence.
