My Commitment to Accessibility

I understand that therapy can be a significant financial commitment. I now accept Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) of Alabama and have structured my fees to ensure that a broad range of clients can access care.

Standard Rates

____

Couples

• Couples intake* (90-120 minutes): $140 to $165 (+$40 for optional Gottman assessment)
• Couple sessions (60-90 minutes): $140
• 30 minute couple add-on: $25

*Please note that the first 1-3 family/couples sessions typically require 90 to 120 minutes and will be charged at $140-165. This is usually necessary for assessment and the requirements of working with multiple members. This can be addressed in the first session and may be reduced to 60-90 minute sessions as progress is made.

**Health insurance providers (including BCBS) typically only cover family or couples therapy when it is medically necessary to treat an diagnosed mental health condition for one primary individual. True relationship counseling focused purely on marital growth, general communication, or relationship maintenance is generally not covered by insurance and is offered on a self-pay basis.

____

Individuals

• Individual intake (90 minutes): $140
• Individual sessions (55-60 minutes): $140
• Individual sessions (38 to 52 minutes): $100

Other Fees

• Missed appointment fee: If you miss an appointment without notifying me that you won't be able to make it, I will typically charge the entire fee for your scheduled appointment. 
• Late cancellation: If you cancel your appointment less than 24 hours before your scheduled time, the late cancellation fee will depend on a) whether it is your first time and b) whether it is a weekend appointment. At most, it will be the entire fee for your scheduled appointment. 

Discounted Options

To make therapy more accessible, I offer a limited number of reduced-rate packages for clients who:

• Have limited mental health insurance coverage
• Are struggling to find in-network providers who fit their needs and personality
• Are uninsured

Please contact me if you have would like more information about these options.
