STANDARD FEE SCHEDULE

Evaluation, consultation, and psychotherapy sessions typically are 55 minutes in length but there are situations where 70 or 90 minutes might be recommended.  The initial consultation for an individual typically is for 55 minutes and for a couple or family it is for 70 minutes.  The current fee structure is as follows:  55 min- $210; 70 min- $265.  See below for my reduced fee schedule.  Payment is expected at the time services are provided and may be made by check, cash, or major credit card.  The initial consultation is to be paid in advance and either faxed or mailed with the registration forms found on the Initial Consultation  page of this website.

REDUCED FEE SCHEDULE

I offer all war-zone veterans, firefighters, ER/trauma nurses,  EMTs, police, Secret Service, CIA, and FBI agents a reduced fee schedule of $105 in honor of your service.  I will respect requests for minimal recordkeeping where security clearance is an issue.  Please submit the registration forms found on the Initial Consultation page of this website.

I also offer a reduced fee schedule for any individual clients willing to participate in my Psychotherapy Training Project.  I am actively involved in providing psychotherapy training to younger therapists and need edited excerpts of taped sessions of my work with clients to demonstrate specific psychotherapy techniques and approaches.  These video illustrations are critically important in the training of therapists.  Clients who are willing to support this endeavor are offered a reduced fee as compensation for their contribution to this teaching process.  This fee schedule is as follows:  55 min- $125.  If you are interested in a reduced fee schedule by participation in this Project please submit the additional audio-video consent form to be found on the Initial Consultation page of this website.

I have a limited number of openings for highly motivated persons who cannot afford the reduced fee schedule detailed above.  Please visit the Initial Consultation page of this website for information on applying for an additional fee reduction.  I have always maintained a percentage of my practice working with clients who otherwise could not afford to work with me.     

SCHEDULING AND CANCELLATIONS

I manage scheduling myself in order to minimize confusion and in order to be most responsive to my client's needs.  Please contact me by voicemail or email if you need to change or cancel an appointment.  My clients rarely change appointments without notice and I try to provide the same should I need to make a change.  I have a 48-hour cancellation policy which applies both to myself and my clients.  If I fail to provide this notice, the next session is at no expense to you.  If you fail to provide this notice, then you will be expected to pay for the missed session. 

If your work schedule is highly erratic and subject to emergency calls, we will try to utilize special scheduling procedures in support of your work with me.  Please advise me of this in our initial consultation.
