• Health insurance companies have lists of "billable" diagnoses. This raises an ethical dilemma for clinicians who work with clients whose diagnoses fall into the "non-billable" categories. I don't want to fudge on your diagnosis in order to get paid, and you don't want a wrong diagnosis in your insurance records.
• My affordable fee makes it possible for clients to find solutions to their problems without going through a managed care program and having to worry about a case manager looking over our shoulders as we work.
• Your privacy is important. MCO's and PPO's often erode the confidentiality standards set by state and federal laws. I'd much rather see more clients, do less paperwork, and spend less time on hold, negotiating with unreasonable policies.
• Many of my clients may not meet diagnostic criteria, and are seeking coaching in order to go from where they are presently to where they want to be. They're not necessarily unhappy; they just have dreams, and they want to bring them into reality. Is that you?

Counseling
My private practice standard fee is $95 per hour, due at time of service. Extended session (90 minutes) are $140. I provide this option for those that find they work best in longer sessions. If you are a student or are on a limited income, I will work with you at a sliding scale rate. We can discuss this when you call.

Groups
My standard fee for a two hour group experience is $190. This offers an affordable alternative to personal growth and therapeutic experience, by providing my services in a group setting. Depending on the number of participants, these groups are generally $30-$40 per person.

Scheduling & Cancellations
We’ll work together to determine a regular weekly meeting time. My current hours of availability are Tuesday mornings, weekday evenings, and Saturdays.
