I offer a limited number of free therapy slots on my schedule.
No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
A TO-BE-JOINTLY-DETERMINED RATE for those who wish to pay for their treatment within a limited financial capacity.
There are a limited number of low-cost therapy slots on my schedule.
We can discuss what will be a comfortable rate you can manage for the course of your therapy at your phone consultation/first session.
This covers the cost of your individual mental health therapy session.

This covers the cost of your individual mental health therapy session AND another client who is receiving free-to-low-cost mental health treatment.
These payment options were determined by the local rates for similar mental health services as well as for the sustainability of my livelihood and business practice, and they are subject to change (with changing rates over time and/or with my professional advancement). I will revisit chosen payment rates with all clients 1 month prior to any anticipated business changes to my rates.

For SELF-PAY clients: Before our first session, you will be emailed a link to create an account on my CLIENT PORTAL on the platform THERAPY NOTES. This platform offers a HIPAA-compliant video conferencing service for the provision of secure telehealth treatment.
Every session, you will log onto your portal & enter my virtual waiting room until I begin our session.
For HEALTH INSURANCE clients: Before our first session, HEADWAY will provide us both with a unique link to meet via HIPAA-compliant video conferencing for the provision of secure telehealth treatment.
-
Scheduled therapy sessions are specifically reserved for you. I ask that you provide a 24-hour notice by phone or email should you be late or need to cancel for any reason.
There is no fee penalty for a missed session. Consistently late or cancelled appointment visits will prompt my exploration to identify contributing factors & possible adjustments that can be made before termination is considered. Two consecutive, or three total, missed sessions without notice will result in a loss of future appointments. I can understand & make allowances for extenuating circumstances communicated with me.
-
Ideally, therapy ends when you & I agree that your treatment goals have been achieved.
The length of your treatment & plan for your termination depend on the specifics of your therapy goals & personal desires, & will be jointly discussed & determined.
You have the right to terminate treatment at any time, even during a session, for any reason. Following termination, you will be given referrals to other therapists/hypnotherapists if so desired.
You are always welcome to return to treatment with me should another need present in the future.
