Cancellation Policy
Your appointment is a much sought-after slot with a therapist who commits to you. There are often others waiting. We ask that you think seriously about this commitment before beginning and be sure to keep the appointments that you set.
If you have been scheduled for reoccurring appointments and are unable to keep an appointment, please notify our office at least 24 hours in advance. Failure to do so will result in a charge of $150 for the missed appointment. I schedule on a weekly basis, so if you miss two appointments (“no show”) or have excessive cancellations this will result in your being removed from the recurring appointment schedule. If needed, please call the office and I will do all I can to help you find a more convenient time for your appointments.
Billing FAQ’s
When is payment due?
Payment is due at the time of service. If using insurance we will wait for the first EOB so we can see if you have a copay or working towards a deductible. Once we receive an EOB we will know your fee and charge it accordingly after each session moving forward.
Insurance
Insurance can be beneficial in many ways however, in mental health, insurance can also be problematic to your treatment. Insurance companies require that we assign you a medical diagnosis and may request copies of the session notes. They will also often dictate how many sessions you get and may even only cover certain approaches or diagnoses. In addition, it is not uncommon for insurance plans to have a high deductible or charge you a specialist copay.

Why do you need a copy of my insurance card both front and back?
Your insurance card has your id number on the front in which we verify with what is in our system for accurate billing procedures. On the back of your card are important numbers and information if we have questions about any of your claims. Therefore, we request both the front and back of your insurance card in order to help us be more efficient in our billing practices.
