• Individual sessions are scheduled on an ongoing weekly basis, bi-weekly or monthly basis and last fifty minutes. Payment is due at the time of the session by check or cash. A statement is issued at the first of each month for the previous month's payments for insurance or tax purposes. There is no direct billing with any insurance plan.
  
• All regularly scheduled sessions are your financial responsibility. I need 24 hrs of notice in order to not charge you for your session. If you know that you must miss a session, I will make reasonable efforts to reschedule sessions when cancelled in a timely manner. While I know that at times 24 hrs advance notice is not possible, without this amount of notice you will be charged $50 for the missed session, regardless of the reasons for the cancellation. If you no show for an appointment you will be subject to the full fee of the session.
  
• Either of us may end the therapy or coaching relationship. I would like to offer emotional support to all the phases of your work in therapy, including when you decide to leave therapy. I can support your decision to leave best if you give several weeks notice prior to actually leaving. The notice allows you to leave well, having an experience of completion.
  
• If, at any time, you feel that your needs are not being met or you are not getting what you want out of our sessions, please tell me, so we can discuss your needs and adjust your therapy treatment plan.
  
• As a licensed therapist, I protect the confidentiality of the communications with my clients, including my coaching clients. I will only release information about our work to others with your written permission, or if I am required to do so by a court order. There are some situations in which I am legally obligated to breach your confidentiality in order to protect others from harm, including (1) if I have information that indicates that a child or elderly or disabled person is being abused, I must report that to the appropriate state agency and (2) if a client is an imminent risk to him/herself or makes threats of imminent violence against another person, I am required to take protective actions. These situations rarely occur, but if such a situation does occur, I will make every effort to discuss it with you before taking any action.

Cost: The cost for a 45 minute individual therapy session is $110 as of 1/10/09.
