What the Fee Actually Buys
The number above is not only the time you spend on screen with me. It covers the preparation before the appointment, the appointment itself, and the review afterward.
Before a first session I read whatever you have already told me and decide where I think we should start, so that the hour is not spent on logistics. Afterward I write my notes, look at what moved and what did not, and plan what we target next rather than deciding it on the spot at the start of the following session.
Short practical contact between appointments is part of the arrangement. Written work for a third party, such as a letter, form or treatment summary, is arranged separately, so please ask in advance.
An intensive is priced differently because it is a different shape of work. Up to three hours is not three ordinary sessions stacked together. It is one continuous piece of work with breaks built in.
How Billing Is Handled
Payment is taken in full when you book, and the appointment is held once it has gone through. There is no balance that builds up over weeks, no invoice at the end of the month, and nothing left to settle after we finish.
This is a private-pay practice. The fees on this page are the fees, and they are the same for everyone.
If you want the expected cost in writing before you commit to anything, ask me for a Good Faith Estimate at the consultation. You are entitled to one.
If the Fee Is the Obstacle
I hold a limited number of reduced-fee places for people for whom the standard rate is the reason treatment would not happen. Availability changes. Ask at the consultation and I will tell you plainly whether one is open.
Booking, Cancellation and Payment
- Payment is due in full at the time of booking in order to reserve an appointment.
- Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance.
- Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice, and no-show appointments, are non-refundable.
- Arriving 10 minutes late or later is treated as a no-show.
What to Have Ready Before the First Call
The consultation is fifteen minutes and costs nothing. There is no form to complete beforehand. It simply goes better when you have had a moment to think about four things.
- A rough sense of what you want to be different
- It does not have to be precise or well phrased. I cannot drive past that intersection is a perfectly good starting point, and so is I do not know, something has been off since last year.
- Which state you will be sitting in
- This is a telehealth practice, so where you are physically located at the time of a session matters. It is worth checking before we schedule rather than after.
- Your questions, including the awkward ones
- Asking what something costs, or what happens if it does not help, is not rude. It will not change how I talk to you, and it is better asked now than carried into a paid appointment.
- Somewhere private and a connection you trust
- A closed door and headphones are usually enough. You do not need a perfect setup, only one where you are not managing who might walk in.
