The charge for the initial psychotherapy
session, which runs about an hour, is $125. The charge for a standard 45-50 minute psychotherapy session is $105. 25-minute
sessions are $60, and 75-80 minute sessions are $170.
Group therapy meetings are 90 minutes long and cost $45. Prospective group members must meet with me for a screening prior
to beginning group. The fee for a screening appointment, which lasts about 25 minutes, is $45.
I am a provider for MHN (Managed Health
Network), Pierce and Pierce/Medcost (the UNC student plan), UnitedHealthcare StudentResources (The Duke University student
plan) and Blue Cross/Blue Shield. (Note to Blue Cross/Blue Shield members: I will be leaving the plan in the fall, probably
effective October 1. I will be glad to continue to work with you using out-of-network benefits.) If you are a member of any
of these insurance plans, you'll pay the co-pay specified by your plan. I file the claims and your insurance company will
pay me the balance according to their contracted rate. You may have a deductible and/or a limit on the number of sessions
per year. Different plans have different benefits, and if you have MHN or the Federal BCBS plan, you'll need authorization
prior to your first appointment. Please contact your insurance company and inquire about your outpatient mental health benefits.
Some insurance companies contract their
mental health benefits out to other plans. For example, you have plan "XYZ," but your plan uses MHN for mental health. If
so, I am an in-network provider for your plan. It can be confusing-- check your outpatient mental health benefits information
for these details.
If you have an insurance plan other than MHN, MedCost, BCBS or UHC StudentResources, you may have Out-of-Network benefits
that will cover part of the cost. If so, I can still file your insurance for you, or supply you monthly with completed forms
that have all the information necessary to file your claim. I can also provide you with receipts for a flexible spending health-care
account.
A Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy session
runs about 1-1/4 hours. The fee is $95 per session. Insurance does not cover PRYT.
Please note that Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy is not a form of psychotherapy.
I do not do PRYT with my psychotherapy clients, and I do not practice psychotherapy with my PRYT clients. I am happy to recommend
a psychotherapist to a PRYT client should they ask, or should I believe it would be a helpful means of addressing concerns
that are beyond the scope of PRYT. I'm happy to recommend other PRYT practitioners to psychotherapy clients, as well.
Private yoga instruction, which is
not intended to be therapeutic in nature, is $75 per hour.
I
accept cash or checks. At this time, I'm not set up to take credit cards. I strive to make payment terms as user-friendly
as possible. Please feel free to call or email me with any questions about fees, payment or billing.
