RATES:
$85.00 per 50-minute session

INSURANCE:
Information you need to know if you are considering using your health insurance to pay for counseling:
* Before your claim will be covered, insurance companies require that you be given a "mental health diagnosis",  that may remain on your medical record, indefinitely.
*  The insurance company will have access to (all) sensitive information that you share with the therapist (like sexual history and drug use).  If  "confidentiality" is important to you, it may not be wise to use your insurance.
*  The insurance company has control over how often, how long, and even IF you can see a (particular)therapist, independent of using your insurance benefits.
*  Marriage or relationship counseling is typically not covered by insurance.

For these reasons, I am on no insurance panels, and do not work directly with any insurance companies. It is important to me to work directly with my clients, and have no conflict of interests.

I am supplying you with this information to point out the ADVANTAGES of paying for your counseling, out of pocket.

In light of all of this information, if you choose to use your insurance, you will be required to submit your own claims to your insurance company . I will be considered an out of network provider, and you will need to inquire as to your benefits.
 
PAYMENT:
Cash, Check, and VISA or Master Card are accepted for payment, at the the time of your session.

CANCELLATION POLICY:
