Fees
Individual counseling sessions are $80 per 50-minute session. Extended sessions are usually recommended for couples and family work and can sometimes be helpful for individual therapy, as well. Extended sessions are 90 minutes with a fee of $155 per session. If you believe a modified session length would be appropriate for you, please discuss this with your therapist. Paying by cash or check allows a discount of $4 for a 50-minute individual session and $8 for a 90-minute extended session.
For a copy of clinical records, there is an administrative fee of $25 for the first twenty pages and 50¢ for each page thereafter along with a reasonable fee for the cost of mailing, shipping, or delivery. If you become involved in legal proceedings that require my participation (this is very rare), you will be expected to pay for all of my professional time, including preparation and transportation costs, even if I am called to testify by another party. Free Your Mind Therapy Services, LLC charges $206 per hour for preparation and attendance at any legal proceedings.
Free Your Mind Therapy Services, LLC fee structure is reviewed quarterly. If any changes are made, Free Your Mind Therapy Services, LLC will notify you at least one month before changes become effective.
Sliding Scale
If, at any time, the cost of counseling becomes prohibitive, please discuss this with your therapist. There is limited availability for sliding scale appointments based on income and family size.
Insurance
Free Your Mind Therapy Services, LLC is an out-of-network insurance provider. If you have insurance with out-of-network coverage, your insurance provider may reimburse a percentage of the counseling fee directly to you. It is your responsibility to inquire from your insurance company if you have out-of-network coverage, as well as coverage and limitations, for mental health counseling. Upon request, you can be provided with a monthly statement or “Super Bill” for submission to your insurance provider, your Medical Flex Spending account, or a Health Savings Account for reimbursement. Please remember that your insurance company may require clinical records for reimbursement justification and will require a mental health diagnosis.
I’d recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:
- Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
- Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
- Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
- Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?
Payment
I accept cash, check and all major credit cards as forms of payment.
Late Cancellation/No Show Fees
All sessions are by appointment only. Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours in advance of the scheduled session. You are responsible for the full session fee if you miss a session or cancel within 48 hours of the scheduled appointment. A missed appointment is not eligible for out-of-network reimbursement. The late cancellation/no-show fee will be charged to your credit card on file at the time of the missed session.
