Insurance reimbursements for my services are available out of network. I do not participate directly with any insurance companies, managed care, or Medicare.  Even so, most insurance plans will still reimburse you out-of-network for a significant portion of your therapy fees.  I will provide a monthly statement that includes all the information needed for reimbursement.  

Frequency of sessions:
Psychotherapy sessions are scheduled on an ongoing basis, at one to three times weekly. Under some circumstances I do therapy on a bi-weekly or monthly basis.  Sessions last forty-five minutes unless we arrange otherwise.  Each year, I am away from the office for short periods of time in the Winter and Spring, and three or four weeks in the Summer.

​

Form of Payment:
Payment is due at the time of service by cash, check, or credit card. Payment can also be made through PayPal or G-Pay.  A statement is issued at the first of each month for the previous month’s payments for insurance or tax purposes. There is no direct billing with any insurance plan.

​

Cancellations:
All regularly scheduled sessions are the patient's financial responsibility. I need 48 hours of notice during business hours in order not to charge for a session. If you know that you must miss a session, I will make reasonable efforts to reschedule sessions when cancelled in a timely manner. While I know that at times 48 hours advance notice is not possible, without this amount of notice you will be charged for the missed session.

​

Ending Therapy:
Either of us may end the therapy relationship. I will support you in all phases of our work in therapy, including when you decide to leave therapy. I can best support the process of your leaving if you give several weeks notice prior to actually stopping. The notice allows you to leave well, with a sense of completion.

​

Confidentiality:
As a licensed therapist, I protect the confidentiality of our communications. I will only release information about our work to others with your written permission, or if I am required to do so by a court order. I am legally obligated to breach confidentiality in order to protect others from harm.  For example, if I have information that indicates that a child or elderly or disabled person is being abused, I must report that to the appropriate state agency.  Also, if a client is an imminent risk to him/herself or makes threats of imminent violence against another person, I am required to take protective actions. These situations rarely occur, but if such a situation does occur, I make every effort to discuss it with the patient before taking any action.
