We start with four sessions to see if it’s a good fit. First, we meet all together; then each of you in the couple has an individual session with me, after which we come together for a second couples session, which is the fourth session in the series.

By this point, we will have discovered some of the pivotal components of your dynamic. I will share with you if I think this method is a good fit for your project; if need be, I can refer you to other resources.

I have a sliding scale and I don’t ask to see proof of financial need. You select what you can pay, knowing that if you can pay at the higher end of the scale you are making therapy available for those can’t pay as much; you increase the availability of therapy in the community.

Individuals: My scale starts at $150 and goes to $185 for 60 minutes.
Couples: My scale starts at $180 and goes to $250 for 60 minutes.

I offer a sliding scale so that I can see a wider range of clients. Those who can pay a bit more are subsidizing those who can’t. This is my only way to increase access to care—which, for me, is a moral issue.

I accept out-of-pocket compensation instead of taking insurance. My practice works with out-of-pocket reimbursement to provide care in the best possible way.

If you are an individual client with out-of-network benefits, yes.

If you are a part of a couple, no. Insurance companies see the challenged couple dynamic as the result of a mental illness in one member of the couple. For me, this is a nonstarter. I’m working with you to heal a dynamic between you. I’m not interested in saying I’m treating something I’m not. That’s insurance fraud.

ln-person clients: You pay me at the visit with a check or in cash. There is a bank next door for your convenience. Please arrive with your form of payment.

Virtual clients: You use a credit card or an HSA/FSA card on my payment portal.
