PAYMENT POLICIES
Fees Policy
Payment is due at the time of rendering services, either immediately before or after the therapy session. Acceptable forms of payment include Cash, Check, Credit or Debit, and online via Client Portal.
Fees for services vary depending on type of counseling service, length of service, and contracted rates with insurance.
Reduced fee (i.e., sliding scale) and pro-bono services are available upon request and are based on availability and verifiable need.
Please call me to discuss any concerns you might have about session fees so you know exactly what you can expect.
Financial information
I am currently no longer accepting health insurance for mental health services. Key benefits to self-pay include the minimized risk of exposing your personal health records and no risk of your mental health concerns becoming a part of your permanent health record. A reduced / sliding scale fee is available upon request and is determined based on therapist availability and demonstratable financial need.
Cancellation/No-show Policy
In respect of our valuable therapeutic time together, a minimum of 24 hours of advance notice is required if you need to cancel or reschedule your session. Failure to provide 24 hour advance notice will result in a mandatory $100 fee. Of course, emergencies happen so communicate with me as soon as possible in such occasions. Please note that health insurance plans do not cover missed appointments and it will be your responsibility to promptly pay the fee in full.
