Licensed Clinical Psychologist

Financial Information

My current fee structure is:
Initial Consultation: $160 (50-75 minutes)
Individual Psychotherapy: $135 (50 minutes)
Couple and Family Therapy: $135 (50 minutes)
Other charges can be incurred for incidental activities requiring significant time (e.g., extensive phone contacts).

I am on the provider panel for Blue Cross/Blue Shield Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Network. Currently I am able to accept check and cash, and you are responsible for payment or co-payment at the time services are rendered.

If you have an insurance plan other than BC/BS and want to use your benefits, then you have to find out from them whether or not they will reimburse for "out of network" services. If they do, then you will want to find out how they calculate what is reimbursed and what you have to do in order to make a claim. In these cases, you pay for the service at the time it is rendered and I provide you with the paperwork you need to make a claim. The insurance company should reimburse you and not me (because you will have already paid me).

If your insurance company does not reimburse for out of network claims (or your insurance benefits are exhausted for the year, or you do not wish to use insurance), then we can negotiate a fee.

24-hour cancellation policy: Please note that it is expected that if you cannot use your appointment time, you should notify me as soon as possible. If you do so with less than 24 hours notice or you do not come to your appointment, I reserve the right to charge you a missed appointment fee. This can be up to the cost of an individual therapy session. However, I do consider extenuating circumstances and your attendance history in deciding whether or not to assess a fee.
