Policies
I charge $250 for a 50 minute session and $375 for a 75 minute session.
(I generally prefer to do 75 minute sessions as these provide a more spacious time within which to conduct our healing work. However, I understand that not everybody can afford that.)
Unless alternate arrangements are made, payment, either co-pays or the full fee, are due at the time of your session.
Insurance
I am a provider for few insurance companies. I am a participating provider for Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design student insurance plans. For these companies, I will accept their usual and customary fee schedule.
Insurance can be used only for groups whose focus is psychological healing.
If you have insurance and I am not a provider you may want to do the following:
- Call your insurer and ask what they will pay for a “non-participating licensed clinical psychologist.”
- Some insurers will pay something, even a lot, for non-participating providers.
- I am happy to do the billing for you. It will be your job to pay me up front for the cost of your sessions.
Cost per person for consultation groups of 6-8 persons is 85$ for 90 minutes and $95 for two hour sessions. For smaller groups, the minimum fee per person is $250/hour divided by the number of group members.
Group supervision is generally most cost effective, powerful, and fun. Find one or more – up to eight – colleagues and share the cost of a 90 minute or two hour supervision experience. If there is significant travel involved, cost of travel and travel time become a negotiated added expense. Most consultation groups are conducted virtually.
Groups generally run between ninety minutes and two hours. For custom workshops and training, my fee schedule varies according to the needs of your organization and the nature of our collaboration.
If you need/want to cancel a scheduled appointment, please give me 24 hours notice. If you do not give me 24 hours notice, you—not your insurance company—will be responsible for the entire cost of the session.
I try to be flexible about these policies. If I am able to find someone to fill your scheduled session slot, you will not be charged for the late cancellation.
Exceptions:
Death of friends or family or serious illness sometimes come without notice. I will not bill you for missed sessions or late cancellations due to a death or if you are experiencing a sudden unexpected serious illness.
When it comes to winter, I am like the mail man; neither rain, nor snow... will keep me from being in my office. When it snows and the plows have not yet had a chance to clear the roads, I will leave it up to you to decide whether or not you feel comfortable driving or being out and about. Under these circumstances, I will not charge you for late cancellations.
