Fees and Payment
My standard fee is $200 per session. During the pandemic I am accepting payment by check, PayPal or Venmo.
I have a restricted number of appointments available for insurance holders. If you wish to use your insurance, please let me know when you call so that we can determine if there is an opening in my practice. If I am not on the Preferred Provider panel of your insurance provider, I can provide you with a Superbill for you to submit to your insurance company.
I require 24 hours notice of cancellation, or you may be billed for the missed appointment.
