The Fine Print

Session length is 60 minutes

Your Title Goes Here
Initial Phone Consultation and Fees

The initial phone consultation is provided at no cost. Goals are for you to evaluate whether we can be of help, and for us to ascertain whether we can indeed help you – and provide you with referrals and guidance if we can’t..

We offer a range of fees based on services for individual therapy and coaching. Skills groups fees are $100 per group.  We offer need-based sliding scale based on openings.

Insurance Coverage and Payment

We are not paneled with insurance companies.  We will provide you with all the bills and statements necessary to submit invoices to your insurance company.

Upon billing, you can remit payment with a check, credit card or through PayPal and Venmo.

Coaching

If you live outside of Connecticut, the only service we can offer you is family/parent coaching, not therapy.  While we in fact are practicing, licensed or supervised clinicians, offering therapy services across state lines is not allowed. We obtained coach certifications in order to offer this service beyond our state of licensure. Read The International Coach Federation’s Code of Ethics to which we adhere.
