Fees 2010

Initial Consultation/Interview
We offer a free 30 minute consultation so you can determine goodness of fit. If you decide to stay for the full, 50-minute session, the charge will be $75.00

Ongoing Counseling and Hypnotherapy
50 Minutes - $150.00
Session times may vary depending on your needs. For example, many couples prefer extended sessions. In these cases, fees are prorated.

Telephone Support
Phone calls are prorated based on hourly fee and billed in 5-minute increments.

Making Therapy Work in Your Budget
Every-other-week appointments may be an option depending on your needs/goals and therapist availability. Many clients find that a 75- or 90-minute session, twice a month works well.

Sliding scale appointments down to $110 for a daytime appointment and $120 for an evening appointment are available if needed. Clients must provide income verification to determine eligibility.


Payment Options
You can pay for services by check, cash, credit card, or PayPal. Please have your PayPal payment sent or your check made out before your session to maximize our time together. If you are paying by credit card, I will keep your card on file and charge your session within one business day of your appointment. Please let me know of any changes to your credit card information as they occur.


Can I Use Insurance to Pay for Therapy?
Though we are not on insurance panels, some types of insurance will cover our services as "out of network providers." If you have a PPO, your insurance will most likely cover therapy. You will pay a slightly higher co-pay, but it may be worth it if you have a good connection with your therapist.

Even if you have an HMO, it may still make sense to work with one of our therapists. Check your deductible. If it's on the higher side, you may decide to pay out of pocket anyway - since you would have to pay as much with an "in-network" provider.
