I Understand That Therapy Is A Financial Commitment.

---

It’s also an opportunity to experience growth and healing in a way that can change your life.

I understand that once you make the decision to go to therapy, you want to get the most out of it. It’s a serious investment in yourself and your future. That’s why we stay focused on achieving your goals in a focused, productive way. I want you to get the freedom you desire rapidly and to only stay in therapy as long as you need to.

Out of pocket investment

The initial intake and clinical assessment is $130.  Subsequent 55 minute individual sessions are $120

Intensive 85 minute Accelerated Resolution Therapy sessions are $180

For those in financial need, please ask me about my sliding scale rate. I do not want finances to be a barrier for you.

Payment accepted

• Cash
• Check
• Debit/Credit Card
• Health Savings Account (HSA) cards

 

Private Pay

Bypassing insurance allows for the highest level of flexibility and privacy for my clients.  

Benefits of Private Pay include:

• The insurance company can’t control or influence how long we work together.
• The insurance company can’t influence the methods we use in your counseling.
• The insurance company can’t control or influence the frequency or length of your sessions.
• No diagnosis needs to go on your permanent health record.
• No one knows you’re in therapy unless you choose to tell them.

 

Insurance

I am in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina and Medcost. This means, that depending on your plan within these insurance companies, you will likely be responsible for just a “co-pay.” I have seen co-pays range from $0 to $50.

You can also seek reimbursement from your insurance plan if you have out of network benefits. This means that you will pay for therapy at the time of the session, and then I submit the claim to insurance for you. Depending on your plan, and whether you have met your deductible, you will then be reimbursed the full fee or a portion of the fee directly by your insurance. If you wish to use out of network benefits I recommend you call your carrier directly. I do not have the time available to do this footwork for clients.

Cancellation Policy

I understand that life happens and you may need to cancel or reschedule. If this happens, please give me 24 hours notice so that I can open up the opportunity to someone else. After your initial session, late cancellations and no shows will be charged for the scheduled session. Of course true emergencies happen and in those cases you will not be charged.

So What Are My Options?

If the cost of counseling seems to be out of reach, consider the following:

• Use pre-tax dollars. Did you know that you can use your Health Savings or Flexible Spending Account to pay for therapy using pre-tax dollars?
• Speak with your tax professional to see if you are able to deduct therapy expenses from your taxes as an out of pocket health expense.
• Reflect on the reality that therapy is an investment in your quality of life and your relationships. Compare the financial cost of short therapy to the possible long-term emotional costs of not seeking help.
