Confidentiality

All information disclosed during sessions is confidential and may not be shared with anyone without your permission, except when disclosure is required by law.  Disclosure may be required in the following circumstances:

  1. Where there is reasonable suspicion that you are likely to hurt yourself or someone else unless protective measures are taken;
  2. Where there is reasonable suspicion of child or dependent adult abuse;
  3. Where information is ordered by the court pursuant to a legal proceeding.

In addition, many insurance companies require disclosure of information before they will process or pay your claim.

Please note: I participate in regular, on-going professional consultation. Neither names nor identifying information is ever revealed.

Fee

My full fee is $175.00 per session. If you are unable to afford this amount, I offer a sliding scale. Any changes in the fee will be done in consultation with you and with consideration for your circumstances.

Payment & Cancellations

Psychotherapy is most effective when it is consistent and regular. Since we have agreed to meet on a regular basis and at a regular time, I will reserve your times for you each week. If you are unable to come to your appointments, I am available to make up the hour at a different day and time in the calendar year. I will accept two (2) weeks worth of cancellations for each regularly scheduled hour of psychotherapy without charge in each calendar year. Beyond this ratio of missed sessions, you are responsible for full payment of the appointment. All cancellations require a minimum of 24 hour advanced notice. Payment is due at each session unless otherwise arranged.

Phone Calls

You may phone me between sessions as needed. I will return your call as soon as possible. I check messages frequently throughout the day Monday through Friday, and once on Saturdays. I do not check messages on Sundays. There is no charge for brief phone calls. Since I normally do not conduct psychotherapy sessions by phone, if more extensive time/contact is needed, we can schedule a session before your next regular appointment. If your call is urgent, do not hesitate to let me know. I will return your call at the first available moment.

Insurance Accepted

I am a preferred provider with some insurance panels. If I am not on your insurance list, I can provide a statement that you may submit to your insurance company for reimbursement of services in accordance with their policy.

“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.”
