Pricing

Here are the current rates for counseling and coaching:

Standard-length Sessions:

Intensives (extended length counseling sessions):

These longer sessions make it possible to do deep work, using processes like EMDR, without the start-stop cycle of traditional weekly therapy. The likelihood of accessing painful material and running out of time before it can be fully processed is reduced. Therefore, sessions are safer and more effective.

The value of the intensive therapy format is the time saved in not having to ramp down before the end of a session, contain strong emotions, remember where we left off, and ramp up into the same material a week later – assuming nothing came up during the week that requires us to redirect our attention and put the trauma work on hold. It also reduces the amount of calendar time it takes to reach your therapy goals. So while it is more expensive initially, it is actually far more cost effective.

Unfortunately, insurance does not cover extended length, intensive therapy sessions.

Insurance: 

I am a provider for Blue Cross / Blue Shield (e.g. Anthem, Highmark). I’m “out of network ” (OON) for most other insurances. If your plan includes OON benefits you may be able to submit claims to your insurance company for partial reimbursement.  Payment is due in full at the time of service.  Please contact your insurance company to find out how much they pay for outpatient psychotherapy. It’s usually a certain percentage up to their “allowable amount”.
