The rate for a standard 50 minute session with a fully licensed therapist is $140. The rate for seeing an intern is $95 for a 50 minute session (when available). We take payment at time of service, which allows you to stay aware of your personal budget and make decisions that are best for you. We can offer a reduced rate if you are unable to pay the full rate at this time.

We get this question often. As an out-of-network provider, we do not accept any insurance directly. We are able to give you the necessary paperwork (a “superbill”) that would allow you to submit your receipts to your insurance for reimbursement. You will have to check to see what your health plan offers depending on your health care plan. If you are uncertain about how to check with your insurance, we’d be happy to provide you with a document that walks you through the process.

There are a few reasons that have led us to decide to not accept any insurance. First, and most importantly, we want you to have the final say in what type of treatment you receive and the frequency and duration of that treatment. When you see a counselor through your insurance, they are the ones who make that decision, regardless of your desire. This can lead to a counseling experience that is unsatisfactory, and your satisfaction with my services is a top priority to us. Second, we want to keep you from any unnecessary diagnosis. When you choose to see a counselor through your insurance provider, there always is a diagnosis. Sometimes, this means giving a diagnosis (that goes on your permanent record!) that may not even be applicable! Third, we want to help keep all of your information safe and confidential. When you see a counselor that is private pay, all of your information stays “in house.” When working with your insurance, a counselor must provide your diagnosis and progress information to the insurance company. This could lead to your information leaking out. Every year, the Department of Health and Human Services reports thousands of HIPAA compliance violations. By keeping all of your information without our system, we greatly reduce the risk of any violations.
