RATES & AVAILABILITY
Private Pay Rates
The main benefit to paying out-of-pocket and not using insurance is that you will receive the highest level of privacy while receiving therapy since I do not need to report anything at all to an insurance company, and your information never leaves my solo private practice (unless it required by mandated reporter or other safety laws designated on a state or federal level, or a judge-signed court order). I also will not need to do a mental health diagnosis for you, unless you would like to work on that together, or you may need one for other specific circumstances, but it is 100% your choice.
I have recently lowered my session fee and made it the same rate for individual therapy and relationship counseling, and have changed the session length to 45-minutes. I have made this change to try an accommodate more clients while still practicing good self-care. I also highly value your privacy and do not feel it is appropriate for insurance to be as involved in the care of clients as I have found it to be. For EMDR treatment, 90 minute sessions are recommended as a best practice, so once we start in Phase 4, Desensitization, I will request for those to be 90-minute sessions at the rate of $200. Clients can also request extended sessions for 90-minutes at $200.
Regular Sessions (45 minutes):
- Individual (1 person): $100
- Relationship / couples / marriage/ family / group (2+ people): $100
Extended Sessions (90 minutes):
- Individual sessions for EMDR treatment or for a regular extended individual session: $200
- Relationship or otherwise 2+ people in a session for 90-minutes: $200
I may offer sliding scale and college student rate spots depending on how many active clients I have at a lower rate at the time you reach out, or there may be a wait list for these spots. I may also change my published rates at any time, but if you get started with me at an advertised rate, I stick to the rate we confirm in the Informed Consent document we complete, and may, with plenty of notice, change the rate in the future, for example, as any business owner might, I may let clients know about rates changing each January, but that may also include no adjustments and maintaining your current rate. In this current case, I am lowering my rates, so all clients will be changed to that new rate when I have them sign a new Informed Consent in January 2024.
Since transitioning to telehealth only, and to maintain HIPAA compliance, I use a specific credit card processing service for health providers, so payments are accepted via credit or debit cards only. I can also accept HSA debit/credit cards.
I do not accept any insurance or provide superbills at this time.
