I offer one free 20 minute phone consultation to hear about my services. Please feel free to call and schedule an appointment 7 days a week during the hours of 8 am to 5 pm. If you leave a message I will return your call within 24 hours. 

I recommend weekly sessions for both individual and couples counseling. Weekly sessions provides an appropriate amount of time to absorb and integrate material we work on session into your daily life without losing the thread of our work together. In some circumstances it may be appropriate to meet two or three times per week (for example when a client is in crisis). As we get closer to the end of our work together I recommend bi-monthly sessions as part of the termination process.

For Couples Counseling the first four sessions are part of an assessment period. The first session the couple meets together to describe what they plan to work on, the second session I meet with one of the partners in order to gather background information, the third session is with the other partner, and all following sessions are with both partners unless otherwise specified.

Fees:

The price for each 50 minute individual session is $200.

The price for each 60 minute couples counseling session is $210.

I use a sliding scale; please ask me about this in person. I am currently accepting a small number of qualified low fee clients. 

In Partnership with the Saint Mary's College, Kalmanovitz School of Education, I offer a special affordable rate for Graduate Counseling Students. Please notify me of your student status for details.

I offer short term and long term psychotherapy.  

I currently do not accept insurance. I can however provide an invoice that you may submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Check with your insurance to find out if this reimbursement applies to you. I accept cash or check at the beginning of each session.

CANCELLATION POLICY

I have a 48 hour cancellation policy. If you do not cancel within 48 hours of our scheduled session AND we are not able to reschedule our session within the same week you will be required to pay the full fee of the session. I will do everything I can to work with you in situations that you need to reschedule. For those clients with fluid schedules it may be a good idea to schedule a session early in the week to allow more flexibility if we need to reschedule. Feel free to ask me more about my cancellation policy in person.
