Services & Fees

Service Details

We offer therapeutic, diagnostic, and assessment services for most of life’s challenges. We typically meet with clients for 50 – 55-minute sessions which primarily occur on a weekly basis. We have found that meeting weekly enhances the focus and direction of therapy. Also, it helps you achieve your goals more quickly. Because our therapist’s time is highly sought after, we require 48 hours’ notice of cancellation. Clients who cancel without such notice will be charged a full fee for the session missed. Note that insurance companies do not cover missed appointments.

Good Faith Estimate Notice

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.

Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

Fees

$150 for Individuals

We are committed to making outstanding therapy available to those people who are ready to make a serious commitment to treatment. We, therefore, offer a sliding scale fee aimed to meet the needs of clients who are experiencing financial concerns but are ready to seriously commit to therapy.

In The Community

As part of our focus on helping people feel more empowered and able to have a say in their mood, we provide free training to businesses or groups. Potential topics include; stress reduction, relaxation, avoiding burnout, and how to enhance enjoyment in life.  Attendees learn exercises specific to the topic and increase their knowledge of and ability to find other available resources. Training takes place either on-site at the business or here in our office and lasts up to one hour. We welcome any questions or inquiries regarding scheduling.
