I don't currently accept insurance, but I can provide documentation if clients wish to submit to an insurance company for "out of network" benefit coverage
Session Fees: **** Fee for psychological service $220.00 per hour personal & couples$240.00. Video-Audio conferencing is available through Zoom Meeting Interactive Software. It is important to determine if your insurance provider or Employee and Family Assistance, or Health and Dental Benefits through your employer will cover the costs of your psychological counselling needs, as I am a registered doctoral psychologist. Most insurance companies will pay for psychological services if the psychologist is registered. However, every insurance provider will determine the amount and percentage of coverage differently. If your insurance company will not pay then services will need to be paid by the individual. Payment is required prior to the therapeutic session or immediately after the session. Report writing or consultations beyond the therapy session will be billed out at the stated hourly rate and will be required to be paid for prior to the services being provided. Any questions or to book a counselling session please contact. Fees for late cancellations (beyond 24 hours and no shows will apply)
