Therapist's note
Individual sessions are 60 minutes and the fee is $250. Couples and/or family sessions are 90 minutes. The fee is $360. Payment is expected at the close of each session. At the end of the month I give a bill with proper codes, paid in full which clients can submit to their insurance providers for posssible reimbursement. I encourage people to check with their insurance provider to see about reimbursment. It varies from company to company.
In certain circumstances I do consider negotiating a fee ($225) if the patient is committed to therapy and finances are truly a hardship. Sometimes millenials parents' pay the therapy bill. In these cases I do encourage people in their 20's and thirties when working on being more independent to contribute something of their own income to their therapy if realistic.
Some clients prefer to pay out of pocket as they do not want the insurance company to have personal information regarding very personal events.
