My standard fee for a session is $160-200 for individuals and $230 for mediation sessions. All sessions are 50-60 minutes. I use a tiered fee system so that I can offer sliding scale fees to as many clients as possible.
Part of the intake process is working together to figure out how frequently we want to schedule sessions. Most folks schedule appointments every week or every other week. I do not offer reduced fee rates for clients who schedule sessions more than three weeks apart.
Please let me know if you need a reduced fee, and we can try to negotiate something that is affordable for you.
For active clients, I charge $50 for letters (HRT, surgery confirmation, support for withdrawal from school, recommendation for leave from work, etc.) I charge $100 for letters for inactive clients. To be considered an active client, you must have scheduled and attended a session within the last 90 days.
I strongly believe that everybody has a right to accessible mental health care. I will do my best to provide services that are not cost prohibitive. Please call me for a free consultation to discuss whether or not we would be a good fit.
Insurance: I am currently a private-pay, out-of-network provider. While I don’t accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will reimburse you for portion of our session cost. You can use Thrizer to verify your out-of-network benefits and submit superbills. They will manage the reimbursement process end-to-end for you to save you the insurance headache. Once you meet your deductible, you can request an instant reimbursement to skip the insurance wait or receive reimbursements in a few weeks via direct deposit. You can create an account and get started at www.thrizer.com.
Cancellation Policy: I require at least 48 hours notice for rescheduling or cancellation (unless rescheduled within the same week.) If I am given between 24 and 48 hours notice, I charge half the agreed up on fee. If I am given less than 24 hours notice, I will charge the full fee. I am not willing to not keep a running bill for clients; payment is expected at the time of the scheduled session.
