Therapeutic Services

Your clinician will work with you to schedule appointments. Clinicians normally conduct an initial evaluation that will last one (60 minute) session.  This first session will involve an evaluation of your needs and goals.  During this time, you and your clinician can decide whether they are the best person to provide the services you need and want to best meet your treatment goals.  Success in therapy greatly depends on the relationship between therapist and client and therapy involves a large commitment of time, money, and energy, so we encourage you to be picky about the therapist you select.  If you choose to engage in the therapy process with Bridgette or Kayla, they will discuss frequency of session (generally once every 1-2 weeks). Sessions will last 45-53 minutes (depending on insurance coverage), although some sessions may be more or less frequent depending on the need.

Financial Information

Both clinicians are contracted with several insurance companies (please see their individual pages for specifics) and will bill the insurance company directly for services rendered. If your clinicians is not “In-Network” with your insurance company, they are happy to work with you, and your services will be subject to your “Out-of-network” deductible (different from your In-network deductible). They do not tend to work with Employee Assistance Programs and strongly recommend that you contact your insurance company prior to receiving services to make sure you know how they will be covered by your individual plan.

The hourly fee for your appointment is $250 for the diagnostic assessment and $225 for individual, couple, or family therapy appointments.  Other services including telephone conversations lasting longer than 15 minutes, document completion/preparation, and the time spent performing any other service you may request of me, are billed at $55/15 minutes increments. Please note, that neither clinician is a trained custody evaluator, so they do not provide custody evaluations. They will also not become involved in any legal proceedings that involve the custody of a child. They do not perform any forensic work or evaluations if we are participating in a therapeutic relationship.

No Surprises Act Information

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
