How long is a counseling session and how much does it cost? Each session is 50 minutes long, and the fee is $90.
How many counseling sessions will I need? The number of sessions depends on several factors, including but not limited to the goals for therapy, the severity of the issues encountered, and of course, the client's willingness to actively participate.
What if I have to cancel my counseling session? There is no charge for any session cancelled 24 or more hours prior to the scheduled time. However, sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged full fee.
Will my insurance company pay for counseling? Many PPO plans will, and many HMO plans will not. So keep in mind that payment is expected at the time of service, and that reimbursement is the responsibility of the client. Be sure to check with your insurance company that the type of counseling you'd like is covered, and in addition, that the percentages and maximums that apply for out-of-network providers like myself are acceptable to you.
Where is your office and what are your hours? My office is located in the Chantel Building on Bascom Avenue between Hwy 85 and Camden Avenue. Click here for a map, directions, and office hours.
