Policies and Fees

The full MS Word version of my individual therapy agreement is here.

My confidentiality agreement is available in MS Word here.

Policies and fees subject to amendment. Please see the current version presented to you in session.

Here are the more commonly asked about items:

Payment at Time of Service: Full payment is required at the time of service unless other arrangements have been made in writing.

Fee: My standard hourly (45-50 min.) rate is $100.

Attendance: Appointments can be cancelled with 24 hours notice.  Appointments missed without 24 hours notice are considered scheduled appointments, and full fee may be collected.  A pattern of missed and late appointments may result in termination and referral to another clinician.  If I need to cancel an appointment because of emergency or illness, you will be notified as soon as possible.  The session will be rescheduled at the next convenient time for both parties.

Session Length & Punctuality: Please call when running late.  Arrival more than 15 minutes late may result in cancellation of the appointment.  Sessions are generally 45-50 minutes long – a standard “therapeutic hour”.  If you are late, the therapy session must be shortened in order to maintain the agreed upon schedule.  In most cases it’s not possible to extend the length of the session to compensate for late arrival.

Compliance: Compliance with medical prescriptions, such as reliably taking psychiatric medications, is required as a condition of treatment.  Compliance with mutually agreed upon contracts, such as safety contracts, is required.
