Fees
My first session is offered at a reduced rate, in order to afford you the opportunity to determine whether or not we are a good “fit” in working together. My current rate is $135.00 per 50-minute session. In addition, sliding scale fees may be available for those in need. I currently accept Aetna, Blue Shield and several other major insurance plans. If I am not on your insurance panel, I can provide you with a billing statement in order to request reimbursement from your insurance company. Please note that I do have a 24 hour cancellation policy.
Some considerations regarding using your insurance
In choosing to pay out of pocket for psychotherapy services you will benefit by allowing for a greater degree of confidentiality. Many times, insurance companies will require detailed information regarding your treatment (including a diagnosis) before agreeing to pay for services. Additionally, you ultimately have the freedom to choose your own therapist based on your individual needs and to you control the length of your treatment.
