Free Phone Consultation

Prior to a first appointment, I offer a free phone consultation (approx. 15 min) where we can briefly discuss your concerns and any questions you might have in determining whether I am a good match for what you are looking for. I will also ask you some questions to make sure I have the appropriate experience and resources to meet your needs.

Individual Therapy Sessions

We will then meet for a first session, where I can continue to get to know you and your concerns.  This initial 60-minute consultation session will be a time for us to decide together whether we should move forward in our work together.

Thereafter, therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes long, although some clients prefer longer 75 minute sessions.  Sessions will often be weekly, but we may decide to meet more or less frequently depending on your current needs.

Couples Therapy Sessions

Couples counseling sessions are typically 60 minutes long, including the initial consultation session.  When working with a couple, I typically meet with each person for one individual session during the assessment process, but most sessions will be held with both members of the couple.

Fees and Payment

My fee is $205 for the first 60-minute consultation, and $205 for subsequent 50-min sessions.  A $5 discount is given for payments via check, cash, or Venmo.

You will not be charged for a cancelled session if you call or email at least 48 hours in advance.  For appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours notice, a $100 late cancellation fee will be applied.

Insurance Claims

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I am not on insurance panels.  Upon request, I can generate a monthly statement that you can forward to your insurance company if you have insurance coverage and would like to seek reimbursement. Many health insurance plans will reimburse for treatment provided by a licensed psychologist. Plans vary widely, and you are responsible for determining what insurance benefits you receive and obtaining reimbursement. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:

  • 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 for an out-of-network provider?
