Practice Information

Typical Intake

Most initial evaluations last 60-90 minutes.  During that time a thorough history is taken, presenting concerns are explored and a treatment plan is formulated by the end of session.

If you are bringing a child or teen, the intake session is typically done with parent(s) and child.  There is flexibility depending on your particular situation and the age of your child.

Psychotherapy Sessions

Sessions typically range 45-50 minutes.

Hours

Monday: 9-8

Tuesday: no office hours, out of office consulting

Wednesday: 9-8

Thursday: 9-6

Friday: 9-5

Saturday: by appointment only

Payment

Payment is expected at time of service, either for full amount of session or your copayment.  Check with your insurance carrier for exact copayment amount you are responsible for. 

Forms of payment accepted are cash, check, Visa, and Mastercard.

Missed Sessions

These are billed at $75 per missed session if 24 hours notice is not given.  There is some flexibility for special circumstances or weather.  Keep in mind that you are reserving a time slot that nobody else is able to use.  If you do cancel on short notice and your time slot gets filled, there is no charge.

Insurance

At this point I accept BC/BS PPO, BC/BS Traditional, and BC/BS Community Blue.  Those with other insurance carriers typically pay up front and get reimbursed directly by their carrier.  There is no guarantee your carrier will cover services, but most times they pay an "out of network"rate for psychological serves.

Keep in mind that if you pay by insurance, the carrier requires a psychiatric diagnosis.  Often, a report is required and there is no way to control who at the insurance company reads the report.
