Individual Therapy 50 minutes 170.00
Do you have an inner critic that won’t get out of your head? Tired of pretending things are fine? Do you feel like you forgot who you once were? Maybe you find yourself frequently conforming to other’s expectations leaving you stuck and unsure of your own self identity. Do you feel guilty or ashamed because you’re not living up to the image you once pictured as to what your life “should” look like? Maybe you have a tendency to play small or dim your light to make others around you feel comfortable. Doing so might not serve anyone, being yourself and allowing yourself to shine is not going to hurt others. You might not know where to being in therapy. That’s okay, I can help you! Being new to therapy can feel intimidating. I understand you may feel vulnerable and your fears will be treated with the utmost respect.
Couples/Marital Therapy 60 minutes 185.00
Therapy may be useful for relationships at any stage; dating, engaged or married. As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I’m trained to attend to your unique experiences as a couple. I’ve been trained in IFS (Internal Family Systems), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and Gottman Couples Therapy, I look at the foundation of your relationship, communication and expectations within the relationship. Topics we may also address in our work together: Building the couple relationship after having children, Building trust and connection, Intimacy, Communication and Blended Family Issues.
I recommend if you’re considering couples therapy you may also consider individual therapy with another therapist. My client is the couple in couples therapy so things that are individual issues should be worked on before or concurrently when engaged in couples therapy.
INTAKE ASSESSMENT (first session) 195.00 - Session length: 75 minutes
PLEASE NOTE: Domestic Violence: Studies have shown that couples therapy is not beneficial for couples that have ACTIVE domestic violence especially because it can create safety issues. As such, if I know that you are in an active relationship with domestic violence, I will refer you for individual therapy instead and any other appropriate resources.
Consultation for Licensed Mental Health Providers: 45-50 minutes 160.00
I’m available to consult on cases, offer guidance on managing the many hats we wear in our practices. (Therapist, IT Department, SEO specialist, Copywriter, Marketing Director, Human Resources, Administrative Staff, Janitorial staff, Courier, Biller, etc. Consulting can help take the overwhelm out of building your practice and have support in the areas we may have never been taught in grad school.

Cancellation/Missed Appointment Policy:
Our scheduled time together is sacred and reserved especially for YOU! Please provide at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. You will be responsible for the cancellation/late reschedule fee of the full standard rate of the session if it is less than 24 hours. Please note I can offer a virtual session with minimal notice if you’re unable to attend in person as an alternative.
Insurance: I do not participate with any insurance company. However you may use your HSA/FSA cards for payment or potentially use your out of network benefits based on your individual insurance plan. If you choose to use your out of network benefits, it means you will be responsible for the payment at this time of service. I can provide you with a monthly itemized receipt (also called a super-bill) that you may directly submit to your insurance company for reimbursement at their out of network rate based off your plan. I cannot guarantee reimbursement and do not directly communicate with insurance oh behalf of members utilizing their out of network benefits. Using out of network benefits means that some of your information must be shared with your insurance company in order for them to reimburse you. For instance, a diagnosis will be required to be on file and the insurance company may choose to audit your records.
Good Faith Estimate: Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance and estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare service. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a good faith estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during treatment. If you receive a bill that is $400 more than your GFE (Good Faith Estimate), you can dispute the bill. Make sure you ton save a copy or picture of your GFE. For questions or more information about your right or how to dispute visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
