Our regular fees are:
- $130 per 45 minute individual session
- $150 per 55 minute individual session
- $160 per 55 minute conjoint/couples session
The initial evaluation period, which can last from one to three 60 minutes sessions, is billed at $210.00 per session. If you do not have insurance coverage or do not want to use your benefits, and you cannot afford our regular fees, we offer a few sliding scale fee spots based on your income.
We charge our agreed upon hourly fee for other professional services you may need, though we will break down the hourly cost if we work for periods of less than one hour. Other services include: report writing, telephone conversations other than for scheduling appointments, attendance at meetings with other professionals you have authorized, preparation of records or treatment summaries, and the time spent performing any other service you may request of me. Clients will be given 30-day verbal notice prior to any change in fee structure.
Sessions are either 45 minutes or 50-60 minutes in length, except for the initial evaluation period, which can last from one to three 60 minutes sessions.
We usually see clients once per week, but offer twice weekly sessions for clients in crisis.
