Getting Started

Initial Consultation
Our first session together focuses on understanding your current challenges, exploring your history, and collaboratively developing a treatment approach that aligns with your goals. This session sets the foundation for our work together.

Ongoing Sessions
Sessions are 50 minutes in length and scheduled weekly or bi-weekly depending on your needs and goals. As progress is made, sessions may be spaced further apart.

FEES

At this time, I do not  accept insurance for my services. Payment is expected at the time of service via cash, check, or credit card.

If you wish to seek reimbursement from your insurance provider, I can provide you with a superbill upon request. A superbill is a detailed receipt that includes all the necessary information your insurance company needs to process a claim for potential reimbursement.

Please note that submitting a superbill to your insurance does not guarantee reimbursement. I recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to verify your mental health benefits and to determine if they will reimburse for services from an out-of-network provider.

My current fee schedule is as follows:

  • Initial Assessment (50 minutes): $135

  • Individual Therapy Session (50 minutes): $135

  • Couples/Family Therapy Session (50 minutes): $135

If you have any questions about fees or payment options, please don't hesitate to ask. I believe quality mental health care should be accessible. Please contact me to discuss options if financial concerns might prevent you from seeking therapy.

Licensure

As a Marriage and Family Therapist working toward full licensure, I provide services under the supervision of Dr. Meghan Lacks, LMFT License #2227
