Consultation - Free
A consultation is a scheduled 10-15 minute phone call that allows us to connect and see if we might be a good fit for therapy prior to initiating services. This will give me a chance to ask some preliminary questions about the presenting problem, to see if our schedules align, and for you to ask any questions you have regarding therapy services with me.
Individual Sessions - $120 (some sliding scale availability)
Individual sessions are $120 with a limited number of sliding scale availability (will be $20-$120 based on your total household income and number of people in your household). When submitting your income, you can submit monthly or yearly, whichever is easiest for you. Individual sessions last between 45-60 minutes depending on several factors including age, clinical need, session content, and processing.
Couples and Family Sessions - $150 (some reduced fee availability)
Couples and family sessions are not eligible for sliding scale, but there are some "reduced fee" ($75) slots available. **Note: if a family session is utilized as part of an individual client's treatment, they pay their normal individual session fee, not the family session fee. Couples and family sessions last between 60-90 minutes depending on several factors including number of participants, age of participants, clinical need, session content and processing.
Group Sessions - $35
Group sessions have a flat rate of $35 per person per session. They are not eligible for a sliding scale. Group sessions vary in length, but they usually last around 80 minutes. Several factors impact the duration (how long we meet for), frequency (how often we meet), and length of the session. You spec
No Show/Late Cancel Fee - $50
Please note that if you fail to cancel your session within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment time, you will be marked as a no call/no show and be charged $50. Additionally, if you have not arrived before 15 minutes after the start of a session and no communication was received about you being late, the session will be cancelled and you will be charged $50.
Payment Information
Payments are processed at the end of the therapy sessions. Invoices will be processed through the patient portal system that you will gain access to when you initiate services. In the patient portal, you can add any major debit/credit card to your file. I can also collect your billing information over the phone or during our sessions as needed. Please consult me if an alternate payment method needs to be used. If your are having financial issues or need a certain payment schedule to help you, please talk to me to see if we can work something out.
Good Faith Estimate Information
Under the No Surprises Act (H.R. 133 – effective January 1, 2022) health care providers need to give clients or patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. This Good Faith Estimate (GFE) shows the costs of items and services you can reasonably expect for your health care needs. You have the right to receive a GFE for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. The GFE does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You may experience additional charges if complications or exceptional circumstances occur.
If you receive a bill at least $400 more than your GFE, you may dispute or appeal the bill.
You may contact the health care provider or facility listed to let them know the billed charges are higher than the GFE. You may ask them to update the bill to match the GFE, negotiate the bill, or ask if financial assistance is available.
You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days (about four months) of the date on the original bill.
There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on this GFE. If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the health care provider or facility, you will have to pay the higher amount.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a GFE within the following timeframes:
If the service is scheduled at least three business days before the appointment date, no later than one business day after the date of scheduling
If the service is scheduled at least ten business days before the appointment date, no later than three business days after the date of schedule; or
If the uninsured or self-pay client requests a GFE (without scheduling the service), no later than three business days after the date of the request. Healthcare providers must supply a new GFE within the specified timeframes if the patient reschedules the requested item or service.
**Note: A Good Faith Estimate is for your awareness only and does not require immediate financial commitment or payment.
