A WHOLE PAGE ON FEES:
What are your fees?
I devoted an entire page to fees and payments because I fully understand that needing help and being able to afford it, don't always go together. I also understand that even when a therapist's fee is affordable, it may not be clear what it is you are actually paying for. Additionally, you may even want to get some support from your health insurance in covering costs of services. Here are some common questions that I am asked, that I am happy to share answers to.
My fee for 60 minutes is 175 dollars and will be charged at the end of each session.
I occasionally have some 150 dollar and 120 dollar slots available. Please do feel free to inquire if that is easier for your budgeting purposes. I want to make sure you get the support you need, without financial stress!
What am I paying for?
I wish more people asked me this question! It is important for you to know exactly where your hard earned money is being utilized! It only makes sense that I am transparent with you about what you are paying for. What you are paying for is educated, trained, skilled and experienced support and consultation that spans 18 years, 2 continents, 2 graduate degrees and several certifications to be able to help you in very specific and proven ways. Depending on your preference, this also includes weekly handouts/worksheets customized for your specific concern that you can work on or refer to in between sessions.
Do you accept insurance?
I provide superbills that you can give your insurance for reimbursement. There are specific reasons why I don't take insurance that I am happy to share with you, if need be.
Superbills are submitted to your insurance after ensuring services are covered. They will offer full or partial reimbursement for sessions, if covered.
Therapy is a process of investing in yourself. Unlike a toothache or broken bone, we may not consider seeing a therapist as urgent or necessary because the wound or pain isn't as obvious. However, not sleeping well, crying all day, not being able to concentrate, feeling lonely despite being with your loved one and physical impact stemming from psychological distress is not easy to experience. If you're looking to experience relief in day to day life, it maybe worthwhile to consider treating this like a broken bone that won't let you walk or run like you want to.
That being said, I understand that you may feel the most committed and willing but affordability is genuinely a factor. Please do know that I am happy to email/phone chat with you offer you alternatives to therapists/agencies that offer support and will be more fitting for your budget. No hard feelings.
The goal is to get you the support you want.
With me or with someone else who maybe a better fit!
