Based on mutual agreement I will reserve for you a weekly

appointment time. You can pay on the following basis:

 

Private therapy for mood, anxiety, addiction problems

per 50-minute session:                                                                                         $170

Couple counseling/coaching per 50-minute session:                        $200

 

Because with addictions and with couples therapy an

organized curriculum is most effective, it is recommended

that you secure  an initial 5-session block:

                                                        Couples/5-sessions:*                                     $900

                                                       Addiction treatment/5-sessions:**      $765

For couples counseling, the curriculum includes:

  •  history of your relationship

  • identification of the source of specific problems

  • education about what makes relationships work or fall apart

  •  goal setting

  • training in the specifics of what not to do

  • training in the assertive problem-solving strategy for couples including a focus on the most powerful communication tools. The curriculum is tailored to each couple and can be redirected at any time.

**  For addiction problems the curriculum includes:               

  • individual assessment with identification  of causes and goals

  • identification of options

  • education about the biology of addiction

  • education about the psychology of addiction

  • identification and strategies for individualized recovery in life areas going forward:

It is possible that your insurance company will reimburse some of your expenses.  However, I will be considered an “out-of-network” provider. If you like, I will provide you with a monthly statement that you can submit to your insurance company; however, you (not your insurance company) are responsible for full payment of fees. 

Note:  As a rule, insurance companies will not pay for services that are not based on a diagnosed mental illness. Therefore, couples counseling is not covered in insurance policies. And it is unethical and illegal to see couples and bill a diagnosis for one of the individuals.
