Estimated Annual Cost
The total cost of treatment depends on the frequency, duration, and type of services you receive, which will be determined collaboratively based on your clinical needs and goals. The following estimates are provided for planning purposes only and do not constitute a commitment to a specific course of treatment.
Weekly individual therapy (52 sessions): approximately $15,600 per year
Biweekly individual therapy (26 sessions): approximately $7,800 per year
Weekly couples therapy at standard rate (52 sessions): approximately $18,200 per year
Biweekly couples therapy at standard rate (26 sessions): approximately $9,100 per year
Most clients are seen weekly or biweekly. Frequency is reviewed regularly and adjusted as clinically appropriate. Some clients complete a defined short-term course of treatment; others engage in longer-term work. There is no minimum or maximum commitment.
Insurance and Reimbursement
This practice does not bill insurance directly and is considered out-of-network for all insurance plans. You are responsible for the full session fee at the time of service.
Upon request, I will provide a superbill (an itemized receipt with the relevant CPT and diagnosis codes) that you may submit to your insurance carrier for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Whether your plan reimburses for out-of-network mental health services, and at what rate, is determined solely by your insurance carrier. I recommend contacting your carrier before beginning treatment to confirm your out-of-network benefits.
