Welcome to my practice. This document contains important information about my professional services and business policies.
Psychological Services & Evaluation
- Initial Evaluation: Therapy begins with an evaluation that typically lasts between 1 to 3 sessions. By the end of this period, I will offer you my initial clinical impressions and a proposed treatment plan.
- Voluntary Participation: Therapy is a collaborative process, but it is entirely voluntary. You have the right to terminate or refuse treatment at any stage.
- Risks & Benefits: Therapy often leads to significant reductions in distress and better relationships. However, sometimes it does not. It can also bring up uncomfortable feelings like sadness, guilt, or anxiety. There are no guarantees of what you will personally experience or what the outcome will bring.
Session Length
Standard psychotherapy sessions are 30 minutes in duration.
Financial Terms & Fees
- Fees: My fee is $100.00 per 30 minute session. Payment is due at the time the service is rendered.
- Credit Card on File: To streamline billing, this practice requires a valid credit card to be securely stored on file. Your card will be automatically charged for sessions, late cancellations, or outstanding balances.
- Other Billable Services: I charge a pro-rated hourly rate for other professional services you may request. This includes lengthy phone calls (over 10 minutes), report writing, preparation of records, or consultation with other professionals.
Cancellations
Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation or missed visit requires payment.
As such, we require at least 24 hours’ notice for any cancellations that are re-scheduled for the next day. Patients who provide less than 24 hours’ notice or miss their appointment will be charged the full session fee to the card on file.
I am aware of the Cancellation Policy. I understand I will be charged the full session fee for any cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice.
