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:
