Frequently Asked Questions
How long are sessions?
All sessions last 50 minutes (individual and couples). If you would like to book a longer session you may book two back-to-back sessions (pending therapist availability), for 100 minutes (1hr 40min). The fee for scheduling a back-to-back session will be equivalent to booking 2 sessions.
What are the standard session fees?
Individuals: $100 per session (50min)
Partners/Family: $120 per session (50min)
What is an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor?
Associate professional clinical counselors (APCC) are still in the process of completing their requirements for full licensure. They have graduated from a masters level program, registered with the Board of Behavioral Sciences and received an APCC number, and work under the supervision of a licensed professional while completing a minimum of 3,000 hours of supervised work experience over a minimum of two years.
Do you accept insurance?
No. One of the main reasons we offer private pay is due to insurance companies requiring a documented mental health diagnosis and the ability to specify the number of sessions you can receive based on the severity of that diagnosis.
Benefits of choosing to pay out of pocket (private pay):
-
Diagnostic information, session notes, and treatment plans are held in confidentiality with the therapist.
-
More input on the frequency and duration of your own mental health treatment.
-
Consistency in care.
