THE COST

BASIC FEE STRUCTURE
 
   
Initial Assessment / Diagnostic session $100
   
Therapy per hour $90*
   
Therapy per half-hour $55
 
Group Therapy per 2-hour session (None at this time) $45**
 
On-line computer therapy per 1-hour session (See note §) $90**
 
Training / Presentations per hour $130
   
Professional Consultation at my office
$90
 

*I have a few sliding-scale fee openings for the following:

Where the client has no insurance that will help with the cost, their need for services is high, and their family income is less than $50,000 annually, the hourly fee will be $50.

In addition, I have set aside a couple of sessions per week for very serious need where the $50 is impossible. Please get in touch with me if you believe you fall into either of these categories.

I regret that if you do not fall into one of these two categories, and insurance does not cover your therapy, I will have to charge the full fee. I would also be happy to refer you to a therapist with more flexibility in the fees they can charge.

§ I am in the process of researching how I might be able to do on-line therapy. If anyone is interested (and has a high-speed internet connection with video capability), please let me know and we will see what your insurance company and my licensing board allows.

"Failure to appear" fee (not coming to a scheduled session without cancelling within 1 hour of the start-time of the session): $35 per missed session, regardless of the normal copay. Exceptions can be made at the discretion of the therapist.

 

** I also offer a sliding scale fee for groups. If you have no medical insurance and your family income is less than $90,000 annually, the fee is $20 per 2-hour session.

If this is still not possible and you would like to join the group, please contact me and I will try to help you work it out.
