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, especially for couples.

Sliding scale appointments are available in special circumstances. Clients must provide income verification to determine fee.


Payment Options
 You can pay for services by check, cash, credit card, or PayPal. Please have your check made out before your session to maximize our time together. If you are paying by credit card, please let me know so we can allow a few moments at the beginning of your session to complete the process. If you are paying via Paypal, please send your payment in advance of your session.


Can I Use Insurance to Pay for Therapy?
 Though I'm not on insurance panels, some types of insurance will cover my services as an "out of network provider." If you have a PPO or POS, your insurance will most likely cover therapy. You will pay a slightly higher co-pay, but it may be worth it if you feel like we have a good connection and you really want to work with me.

Even if you have an HMO or EPO, it may still make sense for us work together. 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.
