Consult Fees & Policies
All specialty consults are offered at a flat rate of $300 per 90-minute consult. Payment is due at the time of service. Because these sessions are consultative in nature and not ongoing psychotherapy, they are not billable to insurance; however, families often find that a single session provides clarity and direction that saves time and stress in the long run.
We kindly ask for 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed appointments, will be charged the full session fee.
For families who would like additional support, we also offer consultation packages of three sessions for $750, which can be scheduled flexibly to meet your needs.
