Cost
Sessions are currently all virtual due to CoVid-19 and are 50 minutes in length.
Your session time is reserved for you, specifically. Please "arrive" on time, as sessions will also end on time.
Rates are as follows:
50 minute initial appointment: $150
50 minute individual session: $130
50 minute couples/family session: $140
Telephone consultations are charged at the 50 minute hourly rate.
As a way to create greater access to mental health counseling for BIPOC individuals, I do reserve some availability for sliding scale payments.
Payment is due at the time of your appointment. I accept cash, personal checks, HSA and most credit cards at this time. I am happy to provide you with receipts for you to submit to your employer for reimbursement.
Insurance
I am an in-network provider for Blue Cross Blue Shield and can bill as an out-of-network provider for many insurance companies.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance to avoid incurring the full fee of the appointment. Please cancel Monday appointments by the previous Friday.
Please know that the cancellation policy is enforced without exception. That way it is fair for everyone, and it is not at all personal when the fee is charged. I understand that emergencies and illness do occur, and as unfortunate as they are, my business is unable to financially sustain the losses of all my clients’ personal circumstances.
Why I Enforce the Cancellation and Payment Policy:
* An aspect of engaging in personal development work involves taking responsibility for one’s decisions and actions, as well as developing a greater awareness of how we impact one another.
* It strengthens our working relationship. When we respect each other’s time, our working relationship is enhanced and protected.
* It promotes your personal work. The commitment to your personal work is strengthened and therefore, is incentive toward further progress
* It allows more people to be served when they need it. When you cancel your appointment with as much advance notice as possible, you potentially allow another person or family to get in the door on short notice.
* It protects the health of my counseling business. When my business is functioning well, it enhances my ability to provide you the highest level of care and attention.
