More About Fees

To sustain my life and keep doing my work, I have to charge for therapy and consultation services, and I do not want it to be a hardship for you to pay for these services. You may be able to be reimbursed by your insurance if you have a PPO plan. You can use Advekit or submit for reimbursement yourself. Please let me know if that option might work for you so I can be sure to provide the right information to Advekit or on your receipt. If that option doesn’t work for you, there are two ways I can be flexible to help meet both of our needs: sliding scale and scheduling. Please consider this information prior to our initial session so you will be prepared to discuss fees.

Sliding Scale

My fee is $180 per 60-70 minute session. For a limited number of clients facing extreme financial hardship, I am able to offer $90 per hour. Unlimited sliding scale options are $150 or $120. For each client that pays at the top of the scale, I am able to sustainably offer my services for a client paying at the bottom of the scale. I welcome your generosity, however, I do not want paying for therapy to be a hardship for you. It will be a hardship to pay if you will have to give up a basic need such as housing or food to pay for therapy. However, healing and recovery are worth sacrificing for. If you will be giving up something a little extra (such as going to the movies or a meal out), that is a sacrifice, not a hardship. For example, buying a latte from a coffee store five days a week will cost at least $20 a week. Making that sacrifice can help you pay $20 more for therapy if you attend weekly. I am happy to renegotiate if your circumstances change and you want to renegotiate your rate (in either direction).

Scheduling

Another option to reduce your overall cost is to attend less frequently. Some people find that having therapy every other week gives them time to practice and integrate each session more fully as well as reduce overall cost. Biweekly sessions may also be useful.
