Rates
Therapy involves a substantial commitment of time, energy, and money. Choosing the right therapist for you will make the most of your investment. To facilitate this process, I offer a free consultation session by secure video or phone. This will allow us to discuss your needs and to see if my style is a good fit for you.
Ontario
My standard self-pay rate is $225 per 45-minute session (HST exempt) as recommended by the Ontario Psychological Association. I request a credit card on file for any missed or late canceled appointments. This card can be used for payment and billed automatically each session. If you want to pay with e-transfer, check, or cash, please make arrangements in advance. I have a limited number of reduced-rate spots available. Please ask about availability at initial contact if you want to be considered for a reduced rate.
Psychologists are a regulated health profession in Ontario and their services are often covered by extended health insurance plans. I will be happy to provide an invoice or statement for you to submit for reimbursement.
Colorado
My standard self-pay rate is $175 per 45-minute session. I request a credit card on file for any missed or late canceled appointments. Generally, this card is used for payment and billed automatically each session (HSA or FSA cards are accepted). If you need to pay by check or other means, please make arrangements in advance. I have a limited number of reduced-rate spots available. Please ask about availability at initial contact if you want to be considered for a reduced rate.
Many insurance plans include out-of-network benefits that you may choose to utilize. I will be happy to provide a monthly Superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
- Since I work in two different countries, I have separate rate schedules for each one. At the time the rates were set, they were roughly equivalent. Please understand any exchange rate changes that make it appear that I am favouring one country or the other are temporary and not something that I can control.
