Fees
Individual counseling and couples counseling are now $125 per session. My previous in-office fee was $160 per session but due to reduced overhead expenses, I am able to offer my clients the same quality of therapy but at a much lower cost. For premarital counseling, I have premarital packages based on the number of sessions you choose and they run for approximately the same per session. Please see my premarital counseling page for packages and fees.
Insurance
I do not accept insurance. Privacy, control, and medical diagnosis are the main reasons I don’t accept insurance. Insurance companies limit and monitor the number of sessions a client is able to have, dictate how a therapist is able to work with a client and require a medical diagnosis be made which becomes a permanent part of your medical record. Ethically, I have a hard time diagnosing someone with a mental disorder because most of my clients are not ill and deserving of such a label. Confidentiality is also weakened as they have access to your clinical notes and records upon demand. For these reasons and more, I have chosen not to accept insurance.
