Rates, Billing and Insurance

Rates

I generally see clients on a weekly basis. My basic fee is $200 for individuals per 50-minute session. Couples counseling is $200 per 50-minute session. A 90-minute couples counseling session is $300 per session. Family therapy is $220 per 50-minute session.

Billing

I ask that you pay my fee directly to me (check, cash or credit card) at the end of each session. You are responsible for payment whether or not you choose to use insurance coverage.

Insurance

Insurance coverage has advantages and disadvantages. Typically I am not covered by any managed care plan, health management organization or preferred provider plan. My license may be covered by some insurance companies as a non-participating provider. You must talk with your insurer to determine whether or not my services are covered.
At your request I will provide a statement with all necessary billing and payment information that you can submit to your insurance carrier. Your bill will most likely have to state a diagnosis. It is important to determine just how much coverage you have and whether the loss of confidentiality is worth the benefit. I have chosen to remain independent of these insurance plans because they intrude on your privacy in psychotherapy and limit your choices in treatment decisions. I encourage you to discuss any questions about this with me.

I am on the panel for the following and out of network for the rest:

  • Pacific Source

If I am not an in-network provider with your plan, you may have out-of-network benefits that can reimburse a portion of therapeutic services. I am contracted with Sunrise Medical Billing Services, who will assist in checking insurance benefits, letting you know exactly how much you will owe, and facilitate all in-network and out-of-network insurance claims.  The session fee, your co-pay and/or co-insurance is due at the time of service. Before your session, or with any insurance related questions, feel free to contact:

SINGULARITY
by Marie Howe
 
"Do you sometimes want to wake up to the singularity
we once were?
so compact nobody
needed a bed, or food or money —
nobody hiding in the school bathroom
or home alone
pulling open the drawer
where the pills are kept.
For every atom belonging to me as good
Belongs to you. Remember?
There was no Nature. No
 them. No tests
to determine if the elephant
grieves her calf or if
the coral reef feels pain. Trashed
oceans don’t speak English or Farsi or French;
could we wake up to what we were before,
— when we were ocean and before that
to when sky was earth, and animal was energy, and rock was
liquid and stars were space and space was not
at all — nothing
before we came to believe humans were so important
before this awful loneliness.
Can molecules recall it?
what once was? before anything happened?
No I, no We, no one. No was
No verb no noun
only a tiny tiny dot brimming with
is is is is is
All everything home."

“Tell your daughters how you love your body.
Tell them how they must love theirs.

Tell them to be proud of every bit of themselves—
from their tiger stripes to the soft flesh of their thighs,
Whether there is a little of them or a lot,
whether freckles cover their face or not,
whether their curves are plentiful or slim,
whether their hair is thick, curly, straight, long or short.

Tell them how they inherited
their ancestors, souls in their smiles,
that their eyes carry countries
that breathed life into history,
that the swing of their hips
does not determine their destiny.

Tell them never to listen when bodies are critiqued.
Tell them every woman’s body is beautiful
because every woman’s soul is unique.” 
 Nikita Gill

“When I would go to bed with a woman when I was young, I didn't realize that there were many of us in the bed at the same time. There was her and I, her parents, my parents, our past lovers and anyone else we had unfinished business with. That's the thing about being unconscious- we can't help but bring our unresolved baggage into every other relational encounter. We imagine it's just the two of us, but our projections and patterns ensure that the bed is symbolically filled with many others. Talk about an unwelcome orgy! A little hard to move around freely with so many projections on the mattress. One of the reasons we do the work to heal our past is so that we can actually create more space for intimacy. With our patterns fallen away, we stand a much better chance of holding love safe. With our projections worked through, we can actually see the beloved with clear eyes. Finally, it’s just the two of us.” Jeff Brown
