What are your fees?
If utilizing your insurance, session cost is dependent on your individualized plan. Some insurance plans require a copayment, a coinsurance, or are high deductible. Insurance information will be gathered prior to establishing your intake appointment so that you may be advised of what your financial responsibility will be. It is the client's responsibility to notify therapist of any insurance changes.
If utilizing private pay, the initial intake and assessment session fee is $125. Appointments thereafter are $100. Rates subject to change at therapist's discretion.
Payments can be made via cash, credit, and HSA. A sliding scale fee can also be offered upon request.
What are your hours?
