Fees For Services

Fees for Services are to be paid prior to or at the time of service by cash, check, or credit/debit card only. I am an out of network provider, but if you need a statement for insurance reimbursement, I will be happy to provide that for you. If you do not show for an appointment and fail to cancel at least 48 hours ahead of time, the full fee will be charged to the credit/debit card of record.

*90 minutes is normative for couple therapy sessions, particularly at the beginning of therapy. Couples can titrate to 60-minute sessions as they progress. Research shows that massing and fading, i.e. meeting more frequently and intensively at first and fading as you progress, is the most effective form of couple therapy.

Scheduling Appointments

When you schedule an appointment, please advise me of what service you would like to receive by the above-mentioned schedule of fees for services. I want you to have time you need for my services; this is totally your choice. I need you to be clearly aware of your financial obligation.

Fees for Service

My practice is entirely private pay fees for service. Fees for service requires no diagnosis, gives you total confidentiality, and allows you to determine the type, length, and content of your treatment. It is a great benefit for you to approach this as a valuable professional service for you and your family.
