Policies and Rates

My standard fee is $200 per 45-minute session.

Because I believe quality mental health care should be accessible, I reserve a limited number of Community Access appointments with reduced fees for clients experiencing financial hardship. These appointments are offered on a trust-based model and are discussed during the consultation process.

Cancellation: Your designated hour is your financial responsibility; therefore you agree to pay the fee for your appointment, for the duration of our therapeutic arrangement, regardless of whether you choose to come. You are able to “make up” for cancelled appointments in addition to your regularly scheduled appointment within the week before, during, or after the date of your absence, if our schedules align. This means that you may have 2 therapy sessions in one week. I will make every effort to find a time for you. You are allotted one “free” cancellation per year for each time that you attend per week. (For example, if you attend therapy twice per week, you are given two “free” cancellations.) You are not required to pay for sessions that I cancel. I will make every effort to alert you of my planned vacation times in advance. Please notify me as soon as possible if you are going to miss your session. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will not be given the option to be rescheduled and will be charged a late cancellation fee of $100. No show sessions will be charged the full rate of $200.
