Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you accept insurance? My services are eligible for out-of-network insurance benefits, flexible spending, health savings accounts, and other tax-deductible medical benefits. I can help you determine your out-of-network coverage, and I am happy to help you find ways to make therapy more affordable. To determine how much your health insurance plan covers out of network benefits, please call and ask the questions listed here.
What is your fee? My fee is $300 for a 45-minute session. I am committed to making therapy accessible and I reserve 30% of my practice for clients who require a reduced fee. I also offer reduced fees for personal education sessions required for Somatic Experiencing Practitioner certification.
What form of payment do you accept? I accept cash, check, or Zelle (amy@abodyofbeing.com).
Do you offer initial phone consultations? I am happy to speak with prospective clients for a brief 10-minute call to answer specific questions. Otherwise, I meet with prospective clients for at least one in-person consultation appointment to determine if we are a good fit. I charge my regular fee for initial consultations.
Do you do remote teletherapy? I work both in person and remotely on a secure Zoom platform.
How long are sessions? Sessions are generally 45 minutes long.
How frequently would I come to therapy?
For couples work and individual psychotherapy, frequency and consistency are essential in facilitating change. To that end, we see each other on a weekly basis at a mutually agreed upon time. If more frequent sessions are warranted or desired, we would meet more than once each week.
For Embodiment Work, Somatic Experiencing, Psychedelic Consultation, or Integration Work, we determine the frequency that would be most advantageous.
What is your cancellation policy? If you must cancel a session, I require notice of at least 48 hours, not including weekends. If you are unable to give ample notice, you will be responsible for the full fee for the missed session.
