Rates
Counseling appointments are generally 50 minutes in length. My fee per session is $150. After the initial intake appointment, phone consultations lasting longer than five (5) minutes in length will be billed, pro rated, at the same rate as office visits. Note that if we are meeting under your Employee Assistance Program (EAP), my fee is paid by the EAP for the approved number of visits.

For other insurances, I will be considered an out of network provider, meaning that the insurance may cover a portion of my rate (depending on your particular plan benefits) and you will be responsible for the remainder. You will need to contact your insurance provider and inquire about the extent of your coverage for counseling services. I will file a claim with your insurance company directly.
Payment
At the time of our appointment, you are responsible for paying any amount that your insurance does not cover. A credit card number will be kept on file and will be charged for missed sessions and/or outstanding balances. Bills that remain unpaid for more than 30 days from their due date incur a one percent (1%) late fee per month that they are delinquent. Cash, check and credit card are accepted for payment. Credit card payments may incur an additional service fee.
Good Faith Estimate - Standard Notice
