Services and Fees

All services provided are based on a 60 minute hour at a rate of $200 per hour. It is recommended that Individual Therapy consist of a one hour session on a weekly basis while Couples Counseling benefit from an hour and a half (since it takes more time for two people to talk) and no less than an hour and a half for Family / Group Counseling. After decades in the field, these minimum requirements have yielded the most consistent results in my client’s lives. I do understand that people’s schedules may not allow one to meet these recommendations may require a more tailored schedule. Please get in touch so I can suggest options that will allow you to get the most from therapy. Send me a Message

Reserving Your First Appointment

My office is currently taking deposits to reserve the first appointment for new clients. Due to the increased interest in psychotherapy following the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, My aim is to maintain appointment space available to new clients who are serious about beginning Therapy with me.

This method of scheduling usually allows me to maintain at least one open appointment slot. This typically allows you to get a first session reserved with me within a week or so. Once I know I am able to accommodate your therapeutic needs via talk therapy & I am able to find you a time to meet for the first time, the deposit process is all done securely via an email from our secure card services company. It is a very easy step that is much easier than trying to quit the gym.
Getting started is as simple as a Phone Call or a Sending me a Message.

Insurance

I offer services in regards to mental health, relationships, intimacy, PTSD, addiction, co-dependency, hypnotherapy & more. Unfortunately, these services are often not acknowledged as part of a path to encouraging a healthy individual. The services our office provides are often deemed as “Specialist” and as a result I do not contract with any insurance providers. However, clients that maintain medical insurance under a PPO type insurance plan have the option to attend sessions with me as an “Out of Network” provider. Clients attending sessions can request a Superbill (a receipt for your insurance company) that can be submitted to your insurance provider to request reimbursement. With the reimbursement model my clients pay an upfront fee out of pocket & any money due to them from their insurance provider will be returned to them, either directly or through credits applied to their deductible. I have found that our clients can maintain control over their finances using this model of insurance reimbursement far better and have a direct link with their provider allowing them the quickest response times to questions they might have.

Individual Therapy

When past events have impacted an individual in negative/unhealthy ways; feeling stuck, depressed or felling anxious can deteriorate one’s quality of life. Individual Therapy looks into developmental, experiential and situational reasons for current issues. The object of Individual Therapy is aimed to not only change current behavior and feelings, but to educate the individual in a way that allows the he/she to succeed on their own for the remainder of their lives. One hour per week on a weekly appointment provides the steady conditioning to garner change in yourself & provide a platform necessary for optimal progress.

Couples Counseling

When a long term committed relationship losses passion, it feels like love has gone out of the relationship for one or perhaps both of the partners. Daily living becomes a struggle and fighting causes bitterness, distance and the desire to escape it all. Couples Counseling gives you the skills and knowledge that it takes to bring your relationship back to the way it felt in the beginning and to change the mistakes that have caused pain for both partners over the past life of the relationship. Weekly appointments are necessary for optimal sustained progress. An hour and a half is recommended for a couples session. Individuals within the couple are urged to attend a solo one hour session near the beginning of therapy to accommodate the therapist’s need to attain the history of each person in the relationship and to bring immediate help for the couple whether that be together or with additional support for one person to being stability back to the relationship.

Family / Group Counseling

Parents often find that raising a family has its own unique difficulties in the different stages of growth. In the early years it depletes energy, interferes with your sex life and causes arguments surrounding styles of parenting. In later years, a child may act differently than expected and cause disharmony among family members. Family / Group Counseling helps to restructure the family so that compassion, love and acceptance guide the family’s interpersonal relationships. Family / Group Counseling requires no less than an hour and a half. It is wise to spend two hours in the beginning of therapy to accommodate the therapist’s need to attain the history of the family and to bring immediate help for the members involved. Weekly appointments are required early on for optimal progress & to reinforce suggested behavioral changes.

Relationship Testing Workshop

In this 2 hour workshop, individuals take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test and learn about their four primary personality characteristics that shape preferences & influence them to do what they do, say what they say and act as they act. The self awareness that this testing provides helps individuals to know and accept themselves and understand the differences of others. When taken by two people in relationship (couples, parent/child, siblings, etc) it can prevent arguing, stop fights, and promote love and acceptance between the two individuals. This is highly recommended for Pre-Marital Therapy and with Couples Counseling. It can be very helpful with understanding adolescents as well. MBTI testing costs $150 per test administered in addition to the two regularly priced hour sessions needed to review the testing results and apply the findings to a custom tailored comparative analysis to improve the couple’s interpersonal connections. This is where the results of the test, which provide little clarity as a stand-alone assessment, are used in the practical sense to improve your relationship though comparative analysis.

Hypnosis Therapy

Hypnosis has become a popular idea to the general population because of its imagined ease of success and instant gratification. Unlike Hollywood’s depictions, Hypnosis Therapy is one method of helping a person to more readily contact the sub-conscious mind, where issues and conflicts begin. However, it is not usually what the general public understands it to be & often involves 2-3 hour long sessions to ready the person to accept help on the sub-consious level.
