I am pleased to offer flexible options for self-pay clients. Self-pay advantages:
- No diagnosis required
- More privacy and confidentiality
- Keeps your private health information from insurance companies and other third parties.
- At times, clients may prefer not to disclose their therapy participation with family members and self-pay may help.
- Flexibility in session:
- length
- cost
- location
- Walk and Talk, nature-based therapy available to self-pay clients.
- In some situations, clients may benefit from home visits for assessment, monitoring, and treatment (ie: postpartum clients). Ethical considerations and privacy limitations will be addressed before-hand in these situations.
Self pay session options and rates (and examples of when they might be appropriate):
- 53-60 minute session ($175)
- most clients and most first sessions
- 83-90 minute session ($260)
- First session with clients who’ve experienced acute trauma or who are experiencing PTSD and need extra time for intake.
- For established clients who need more time in a session.
- 30-45 min. session ($100)
- For clients who are not in crisis, experiencing PTSD, or in acute distress, who need support with processing thoughts, with decision-making or life transitions
- For clients who want a lower cost option (when not prohibitive to quality of treatment)
- When we agree this is enough time for the client to effectively address their treatment goals and check on progress
- For clients without trauma history with the goal of learning some coping and cognitive skills for intrusive or negative thoughts for mild anxiety or depression
- Group therapy/support group ($150/month)
- Equates to $30-$40 per weekly group session
- Full month payment required before first session with no refunds issued except in the case of cancellation by group facilitator.
- If the number of clients committed to group and paid is too low, group may be cancelled and full refund issued if sessions have not yet begun.
- This fee holds your place in the group as well as allows us to hold the group. No refunds will be issued if you miss a session. Groups are most effective when all clients attend consistently.
