FEES
Counseling sessions are 50-55 minutes in length. The first session, for history and assessment, is billed at $175. All subsequent sessons are billed at $160 per hour. Fees that are not billed to insurance companies, or copayments, are collected at the time of the session. Clients are expected to let me know with 24 hours notice if they are not able to make an appointment.
