Limits of Confidentiality
All discussions with me are confidential, with the exception of five situations where I am mandated by law to break confidentiality for the purpose of the safety of you and others. Mandated reporting situations are when a client presents a danger to themselves, or others, or when information is divulged that gives me reason to suspect child abuse, dependent adult abuse, or elder abuse.
The “50” Minute Hour”
Each session lasts 50 minutes. A session and a half (or a meeting which is an “hour and a half” in length) would last 75 minutes, and a two-‐hour session would last 100 minutes.
Phone Sessions
I don’t charge a fee for short phone conversations. However, phone sessions lasting over 10 minutes will be charged proportionately at the agreed-upon rate, including the first 10 minutes.
Fees
The fees for one hour (50 minutes) of therapy are as follows:
• $185 per hour for individuals
• $250 per hour for couples
• $295 per hour for families
Cancellation Policy
The full fee will be charged for missed sessions and for cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled session.
