The cost of session is based on whether or not you choose to self-pay at an out-of-pocket rate or bill your insurance for session. The out-of-pocket rate for a standard 50-55 minute session is $130 for individuals and $150 for a couple’s session. Your first session, known as the ‘intake session’, is $200 due to the additional time utilized by your therapist to assess your therapy goals and create a treatment plan for your continued success. If you would like to try billing your insurance for sessions, please let us know when you schedule your first session. At that time, you will be provided a link to our insurance billing platform to learn more about your estimated cost of sessions.

The cancellation policy for sessions is 24 hours minimum notice. We understand that ‘life happens’ and you cannot always plan for emergency circumstances or sickness that may arise. Communication is the best policy in this case. Please let us know as soon as you are aware that you will be unable to attend session. If you do not communicate the need to cancel or reschedule 24 hours in advance, or ASAP if an emergency arises, you will be charged the FULL PRICE of session for your absence. If you are using insurance to pay for sessions, you will still be charged the FULL PRICE of a normal out-of-pocket rate for the absence.
