Scheduling

Appointments can be made by calling me at (919) 335-8019. All calls are confidential and will be responded to promptly (please note that I am out of the office on Fridays).  Individual therapy session times are generally 50-55 minutes in length.

Fees, Payment, and Insurance

Individual therapy session (53+ minutes) : $185 (prompt payer discount $170)

Initial consultation (60 minutes) : $205 (prompt payer discount $190)

Family consultation (60 minutes): $205 (prompt payer discount $190)

Fees for assessment, consultation, and supervision vary.

Payment is expected at the time of service. Cash and check accepted. Reduced fees may be available and can be discussed upon request.

I currently accept Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) and the State Health Plan on an in-network basis and all other insurances on an out-of-network basis. If you have one of these insurances, please bring a copy of your insurance card to your first appointment, as well as cash or check for your co-pay or co-insurance (you can contact BCBS and ask them about your coverage for an in-network office mental health visit). 

If you choose to use your out-of-network insurance, you will be responsible for the full fee at the time of service and then the insurance company will reimburse you directly for an established percentage of the fee. I will give you the necessary paperwork to file these claims and will help you in any way that I can to make sure you get reimbursed. There are now services to help clients submit their out-of-network claims. One of these services, called GetBetter, is located at https://getbetter.co/.

Cancellation Policy

Once your appointment is confirmed, that hour is set aside for you, so I ask that you do your best to honor the scheduled time and arrive on time. To cancel or reschedule an appointment, I ask that you contact me by phone or email at least 24 hours in advance. If I do not receive such notice, you will be charged $155 for the session missed. Insurance will not cover this charge. The fee for the session may be waived if an additional makeup session can be scheduled within the same week. Although I do my best to be available for make-up sessions, these times may be limited. If you are running more than 20 minutes late for an appointment, the appointment will be considered a “no show” and you will be charged the cancellation fee.
