Fees & Payment
Therapy is an investment in your child, your family, and the way you move through hard things together.
When your child is struggling, everyone feels it.
Therapy is a meaningful investment of time, energy, and money—and I would rather be clear about the financial part from the beginning than have you discover something important later, after you have already gone through the budget, promised your daughter a new pony and dance classes, your teen the newest Xbox, and booked the family vacation.
Just kidding. Does anyone really get new ponies?
Not that you cannot do all of that. Not that you cannot do all of that. But it helps to know what is realistic for your family before you decide what to prioritize.
I want you to have the information you need to decide whether therapy is financially workable for your family—without pressure, surprises, or wondering whether there is some catch hiding farther down the page.
I keep my caseload intentionally small so I can bring steady, thoughtful, playful, deeply attuned care to the children, teens, parents, and families I work with. That means I have room to know your family, remember what matters, and show up as a whole person—not a therapist squinting at a chart and asking you to remind me what your dog’s name is.
Session Fees
Consultation
Free initial virtual consultation
Consultations last approximately 20–30 minutes to discuss what you’re looking for, how I can help, and answer any questions.
Therapy Sessions
$250 per 50-minute session
This applies to individual, child, teen, parent, and family sessions.
When we begin, weekly sessions are usually recommended so we can build consistency, understand the patterns, and create enough momentum for the work to take hold.
Your Reserved Weekly Appointment
When you begin therapy with me, you are reserving a weekly appointment time. That time is held specifically for you or your family, whether or not you are able to attend in a given week.
This consistency supports the therapy itself and allows me to maintain a predictable, sustainable practice.
If you need to miss a session, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance. With more than 24 hours’ notice, I am sometimes able to offer an alternate appointment time during the same week or an adjacent week—but this cannot be guaranteed and depends on both of our schedules.
Appointments cancelled or missed with less than 24 hours’ notice are charged at the full session fee and are not eligible for rescheduling.
If I need to cancel because of illness, vacation, or an emergency, you will not be charged.
A note about reduced fees
I offer two reduced-fee appointments for clients experiencing financial hardship. This is a value of mine and one way I can give back to my community.
Those appointments are currently full. If you would like to be contacted if a reduced-fee opening becomes available, you are welcome to join the waitlist.
I know therapy is a significant investment, and I do not take that lightly. My goal is to provide focused, attuned care that helps your family understand what is happening more deeply and begin creating meaningful change.
Why I Work Outside of Insurance.
I choose to work directly with my clients, not through insurance companies. This means we can focus entirely on what will be most helpful for you or your child—not what fits inside a narrow set of boxes on an insurance form.
By staying outside of insurance networks, I’m free to:
Tailor our work to your unique needs and pace
Use the full range of approaches that will best serve you, rather than only those covered by your plan
Protect your privacy—your personal information and session details stay between us
Spend my time and energy fully present with you, not navigating insurance red tape
Many clients still receive some reimbursement for my services if they have “out-of-network” benefits (often included in PPO plans).
I can provide a “Superbill” (a specialized receipt for insurance) that you can submit to your insurance. If your plan offers out-of-network benefits, any reimbursement you receive can be a welcome bonus—but it’s best to plan for the full cost of therapy yourself. High deductibles, limited coverage, or claim denials can happen for many reasons, such as not covering a certain diagnosis, the structure of intensives, telehealth sessions, or out-of-network providers.
The bottom line: when we step outside the limits of insurance, you and I can focus on what truly matters—work that’s flexible, private, and deeply attuned to your needs. Without the red tape, all of my time and energy can go into you and your progress, so you get the care and attention you deserve.
