INVESTMENT

Taking care of yourself or your family through counseling is an important investment. Sometimes investing in ourselves is the hardest thing to do, but when it comes to your emotional and mental health and your relationships, it will be well worth it.

Every person is offered and encouraged to have a free 15 minute phone consultation to ensure that we are a good fit before our first session.

Sessions – $200/hr

Each therapy hour is approximately 50-55 minutes, with the last 5-10 minutes of the hour used for rescheduling appointments and payment purposes. The intake session may run as long as 75 minutes in length.

Payment is due in full at time of service. Cash, check, credit/debit/HSA cards are acceptable forms of payment. A late cancellation fee of $50 will be assessed if you cancel your appointment with less than a 24 hour notice. If you no-show/no-contact, you will be charged the full session fee.

INSURANCE
Private self-pay is always accepted as a form of payment. We are also in-network with most BCBS plans, MedCost, and CBHA. Any other insurance carriers may consider Refining Moments an “Out of Network” provider. If you wish to file insurance for an “Out of Network” service, a receipt of services can be provided to you after payment has been received.

There are several benefits to private pay as opposed to filing with insurance:

1. You are in control of the number of sessions and length of sessions you have. Insurance companies often limit the number of sessions they will cover.
2. I work from a non-pathological perspective in counseling the family system. Insurance companies often require a diagnosis for counseling services, and not all diagnoses are covered.
3. Your information is completely confidential. Treatment records are your business and not that of an insurance company or outside party.
