$111 per 50-minute session.
I accept a limited number of insurances. Please call for more info.
Cash, check, credit cards, or Venmo accepted for payment.
In order to be respectful of the needs of other clients, please be courteous and call promptly if you are unable to show up for an appointment. This time will be reallocated to someone who is in need of treatment.
If it is necessary to cancel your scheduled appointment, and you have not notified us at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full session fee. Appointments are in high demand, and your early cancellation will give another person the possibility to have access to timely care.
No diagnosis or stigma required
All insurance companies require a psychiatric diagnosis for your counseling services to be covered. While clinical diagnosis is important when appropriate, self-pay allows you to seek services whether or not you fully meet diagnosis criteria, without feeling labeled.
Privacy
While all insurance companies must follow HIPAA guidelines, submitting to insurance still means that there are more eyes on your healthcare information. Health insurance companies require counseling notes to “justify” service. Self-pay ensures complete confidentiality since only the counselor and the client are privy to any counseling-related information and no third-party is involved.
“Success is really nothing more than the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. This means that any person who knows what they are doing and where they are going is a success. Any person with a goal towards which they are working is a successful person.”
