Fees
 
Fees for professional services are due at the time services are rendered and may be paid by check or cash. I do not accept credit card payment at this time. I do offer a free telephone consultation to help you determine what type of service is most suited for your needs and whether or not we can work together or if another referral is needed. 
 
My current fees are:
 
Intake Interview - $135.00
first session/one hour
 
Individual Psychotherapy - $110.00
weekly/50 minutes
 
Couples Counseling and Family Therapy - $120.00
weekly/50 minutes  
 
Group Therapy - $60
weekly/90 minutes
 
For clients who demonstrate financial need, I do offer a few slots each week for a limited number of sessions at a reduced fee or a pre-set payment plan.  

Insurance Reimbursement

 

As a licensed professional counselor many of my services are covered under most insurance plans. I am an in-network provider with PHCS and Multi-Plan insurance plans. If you are in either of these plans, it will be noted on your insurance card. With all other insurance plans, I am an out-of-network provider. Please check with your insurance carrier to see if they offer out-of-network mental health benefits.

 

I will assist you in submitting your insurance claims. For in-network and many out-of-network plans, I will submit your claim directly to your insurance carrier. In some cases, it will be necessary for you to submit the claim. In these cases, I will provide you with a monthly statement that you can submit directly to your carrier. I will assist you in utilizing your health insurance benefits, although payment of all professional fees is ultimately your responsibility.

 

Many clients prefer to pay out-of-pocket to keep personal mental health information private or because some insurance carriers limit the number of sessions you can have in a year. I will discuss your financial concerns at our first session. Your first step is to call me for your free consultation, for more information or to schedule an appointment.
