SESSION FEES: Initial 15 Minute Phone Consultation - Free

Standard 50 Minute Session - $150

Extended 80 Minute Session - $240*

Standard Sessions are the perfect length of time for most people coming in on a weekly basis.

Extended sessions work well for busy professionals who have hectic schedules, or those who cannot commit to weekly sessions and prefer longer sessions to work through concerns.

Extended sessions also work well for those seeking Divorce Counseling as a couple, since the longer session length provides a jump start for working through issues and allows enough time for both people to share their concerns.

* If you are coming in as a couple for Divorce Counseling, you will be required to book an Extended Session for your initial appointment.

Good therapy is an investment.

Your emotional well-being is paramount to enjoying quality relationships, cultivating meaning and building sustainable self-esteem. An investment in your mental health is an investment that pays in large dividends. You owe it to yourself to start the journey of creating the life of your dreams.  

Elevate Counseling is a boutique style private practice and strives to deliver a premium counseling experience.
My primary concern is to preserve the integrity of the counseling process as well as your privacy.
Therefore, I don't work directly with insurance companies. This means I am out-of-network with insurance companies and do not accept insurance as payment for fees.
Fees are due at the time of service and can be paid via cash, check or credit card (including HSA or FSA cards).
However, if you have insurance, you may also have out-of-network benefits that allow for session reimbursements, in part or in full, paid directly to you from your insurance company. I strongly suggest checking with your insurance company to understand if your plan covers out-of-network providers.
If desired, I am happy to provide you with a Superbill (invoice) so you can seek reimbursement from your insurance company for any out-of-network benefits you may have.
Additionally, if you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) you can use funds from that account to cover therapy.
Finally, you can speak with your tax professional to determine if your therapy expenses are tax deductible.
I reserve a limited number of sliding scale sessions each week, so if you’d like to work with me but cannot afford my fee, please feel free to contact me to discuss your situation.

FAQs

What can I expect during my first session?: Our first meeting together is called an intake session. This an opportunity for me to understand why you’re interested in therapy or consultation. In this session, I will gather all the necessary information to get a clear picture of where you are and what you hope to accomplish. This is also an opportunity for you to ask whatever questions you might have about me and the process.

Your comfort in working with me will be one of the most significant factors determining a successful outcome. I want you to feel confident that I am the right person for you to share your story with. If, for any reason, you feel you would be happier working with someone else, I will refer you to another therapist better suited to your needs. However, if at the end of the initial session you would like to continue working together, we will schedule a day and time for our next appointment.
What is your cancellation policy?: I respectfully ask for 48 hours notice to cancel or reschedule your appointment as I hold that day and time exclusively for you. No-shows or cancellations made without 48 hours notice will be charged the full fee unless:

I am able to get you rescheduled within the same week (I’ll try my best, but it’s not always possible).

We meet for the session online instead of face-to-face.

An unexpected emergency arises. If that happens, we will discuss your circumstances and determine whether the fee applies.
How often will we meet?: Consistency yields the best results, so in the beginning I believe it’s important to meet weekly in order to build momentum and for me to really get to know you. Once we’ve worked together for a while, we can discuss the possibility of spacing your sessions out over a longer time.

If you’re coming in for (un)Therapy, we will meet based on your schedule and the goals you’re trying to reach. We might meet weekly, or we might meet for longer, less-frequent sessions.
How does (un)Therapy or coaching differ from traditional therapy?: Traditional therapy focuses on how emotions and experiences come together to create your unique self. We identify patterns and connections in your life that may be either helpful or defeating. Often, we examine how your childhood experiences influence what’s going on with you in the here and now. As your therapist, my role is to guide you into a deeper understanding about your core self. This insight will ideally empower you to make the changes you desire.

(un)Therapy, or consultation, is for those who are reasonably happy and well-adjusted and need help with a very specific issue or concern that is not tied to mental health issues. We will work on building a plan with specific goals and work toward reaching those goals within a short time frame. As your consultant, I will direct you, offer advice, make suggestions, and hold you accountable for meeting the milestones and goals of the plan we build for you. We will be less concerned with your subconscious and emotional state and more focused on tangible results.
Do you offer online therapy or video conferencing?: Yes. Once we’ve met in person and established our relationship, I’m happy to meet with you via my secure, HIPAA-compliant video-conference platform. While I feel strongly that we will do our best work in person, I understand that coming to my office for every session may not be feasible. We can discuss if meeting online will meet your needs.
