PSYCHOTHERAPY

The therapy hour is 50 minutes and the fee is payable at time of service.

Payment
Please be prepared to pay at your session.  I do not mail bills to clients. I accept cash, checks and credit cards.

Insurance
Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee assistance plan.  I am a preferred provider with a number of insurance companies which typically means you will have to pay only your copayment and deductible (if any) at our session — I will take care of the billing for you.

If I am NOT a provider for your health insurance, you can pay in full at the time of your session and I will take care of the billing for you, or provide an invoice you can submit for reimbursement.

Even though I contact your insurance plan, I recommend you also contact your plan and get details about your coverage. This will help you make informed decisions related to your care.

Cancellation Policy
I put aside your scheduled appointment time for you, and cannot bill your insurance for a missed session.  Therefore, if you do not show up for an appointment or cancel without 24 hours notice, you will be required to pay for your session.

If I am a preferred provider for your insurance plan, the “full cost” may be your preferred provider discounted amount.

FEES FOR:

Fees for these services are based on the service provided for the following reasons:

• Sessions are longer than the standard therapy hour.

DISCLAIMER

There are distinct differences between Psychotherapy and services for Hypnotherapy, Career Transitions, School Problems, and Learning Disabilities.

Psychotherapy is a healthcare service designed to diagnose and treat mental health and relationship issues. The focus is on the root causes and understanding deeper issues of problems. A formalized treatment contract and written consent for treatment are required and the fee is based on a 50 minute therapy hour.
