Fees, Insurance, and Billing
Fee Structure
At The Children and Family Therapy Institute, we provide a Sliding Scale fee structure. Sliding scale refers to a more affordable, often times negotiated hourly rate for therapy sessions using a trained, supervised mental health clinician who is working towards full licensure.
We understand that therapy is a financial commitment, but we pride ourselves on providing fairly priced therapy to everyone who is seeking services.
Insurance
We do not participate with any insurance panels & are considered an out-of-network provider.
Superbill
We can provide clients a billing statement at the end of each month to be submitted for reimbursement for clients with PPO, HSA, or other flexible benefits. We encourage all of our clients to speak with their insurance company about reimbursement for some portion of therapy.
We accept the following forms of payment: cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, HSA cards.
Policies
Cancellation Policy
Failure to attend any scheduled therapy appointment without at least 24 hours advanced notice will result in the full session being billed.
Confidentiality and Privacy Policy
The law protects the relationship between a client & psychotherapist, & information cannot be disclosed without written permission. More about this will be discusses in our sessions.
Exceptions include:
-
suspected child abuse, dependent adult or elder abuse, which I am required by law to report to the appropriate authorities immediately.

-
if a client intends to harm themself, every effort will be made by the therapist to enlist their cooperation in ensuring their safety. If they do not cooperate, further measures will be taken without their permission that are provided to me by law in order to ensure their safety
