$220/ hour — Hour sessions are 50 minutes long. I am sometimes able to work on a sliding scale if needed, so let’s talk and see what works for you.
$220/hour — I charge the same rate for EMDR. However, for proper processing during an EMDR session a little more time is often needed, and sessions can go up to 90 minutes long. In that case I would prorate the fee.
***I can provide you with a super-bill that you submit to your insurance for reimbursement for services. ***
$100-200/hr —Short term; up to 5 sessions for brief crisis counseling. Modality is typically EMDR to process recent trauma, and solution focused to help establish healthy coping skills. This applies to community members that have experienced a recent community disaster, are first responders, or teenagers that are from low income families. Depends on person or family and the scenario. Also pending availability. Please email a request, and I will get back to you.
Therapists in private practice work alone, and a large portion of the cost of each session goes towards business expenses. Therapists spend many years working for free to become licensed and then continue spending time and money towards continued education with seminars, classes, and workshops to stay up to date and improve upon their skills. The costs of therapy also cover rent and overhead business expenses. Therapists are also on their own to cover costs of health insurance, liability insurance, retirement planning, life insurance, time off for sickness or vacation. Time for each session also covers the time spent writing notes and prepping. Please let me know if you have any questions about this, I’m happy to discuss.
