Fees

I charge $100 for each 50-minute session and accept cash, check and all major credit cards.

I do not currently accept insurance.  However, there can be significant benefits to not utilizing insurance, including:

Increased Confidentiality — When you use insurance, your health insurance company has access to your personal information from therapy which can include a treatment summary and diagnosis.  A diagnosis is required for authorization and in my experience, many people do not meet the requirements for a diagnosis, they just have things that they need to talk about.

Denial of Insurance in the Future — If you ever need to buy individual health insurance, there is a possibility that they might use your previous access to mental health services as justification to deny coverage.

Length of Services — We decide together the number of sessions that are appropriate for you, not the insurance company.
