Fees & Policies

Insurance

Almost all my clients receive money back from their insurance company using out-of-network benefits. You may want to check with your company to see if you have out -of-network benefits. That means you can see the doctors you want, not only the ones in your network.

To get reimbursed, I will give you a receipt which will include all the necessary information needed by the insurance company. When you send them the receipt, they can reimburse you directly once your deductible has been met. You may want to find out your deductible, what percent of each session is covered, and if there is a limit to the number of sessions allowed.

Generally, how much you get back is determined by what benefit package you have chosen or what your company has chosen for you. Usually the bigger the company, the better the benefits.

I hope this gives you some helpful information to consider about insurance and reimbursement. 

Fees / Session Length

The fee for each session is required at the time of service. Fees will be discussed at time of intake. Hourly sessions last approximately fifty (50) minutes. An hour and a half session would last 75 continual minutes. I accept credit cards and some people use their HSA. 

Cancellations

Your session time is reserved for you. Twenty four (24) hour notice is required for cancellations or you will be charged the full service rate. Cancellations for Monday are required to be made on the previous Friday.

***Please make any appointment changes or cancellations via phone or text message to 713-823-4001. No emails please. ***

If you have a scheduled couples session, and one person cannot make the appointment, the other person is welcome to attend for an individual appointment and avoid being charged for a missed couples session.

Emergency Policy

My practice is by appointment only as opposed to crisis intervention. If you are in a crisis and want to talk to me, please call me and leave a message. I check my voice mail and messages several times a day and can be reached by calling 713-823-4001. In case of an emergency and you can not reach me, you can call 911, United Way Crisis Hotline 713-228-1505, MHMRA Crisis Unit 713-970-7000 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room.

At this time, all appointments are being held via phone, facetime or zoom.
