Cost of Treatment and
Getting Started
What about cost and insurance?
First and foremost, I want to express how grateful I am for the people who invest their time, effort, and money into the treatment I do with my clients. I’m really very honored that people would place such a value on this work. That being said, one of my biggest aims is to get you your time, effort, and money’s worth out of this process!
My session fees are as follows:
Intake Session/ Assessment (90 min) $200
Individual Sessions (50 min) $150
Groups/ Classes (60 min) $60
I am not paneled with any insurance, and so this would mean that you would be responsible for paying the full session fee (what we call self-pay or private-pay). I can offer what’s called a super bill for you to submit to your insurance to see if they can refund you for any out-of-network behavioral health benefits. Everyone’s insurance works differently with these benefits, so I encourage you to reach out to your insurance provider with any specific questions.
How do I get started?
Step 1: Free Consultation
Start by scheduling a free 20-minute video consultation. This gives us a chance to meet, ask each other general questions, and see if we’re a good fit to work together. You can book that here.
Step 2: 90-Minute Assessment
If we decide to move forward, we’ll schedule a 90-minute assessment. During this session, I’ll ask questions to better understand your background, current symptoms, goals, and what kind of treatment you’re hoping for.
Step 3: Treatment Plan Presentation Call
After the assessment, I’ll take about two days to reflect and write up a tentative treatment plan tailored to you. Then, we’ll have a follow-up phone call where I’ll share my recommendations and talk through what treatment would involve, including the level of commitment it requires.
Step 4: Treatment Commitment Call
You’ll have about a week to consider whether the proposed treatment plan feels like a good fit. We will schedule another call to answer any questions you may have or help clarify anything. By the end of this call, you will decide if you are committing to move forward with the treatment plan.
Step 5: Orientation
If you choose to begin treatment, we’ll start with an orientation period. This is when you’ll learn the foundational elements of DBT and begin setting personalized goals. The orientation is generally about a month.
Step 6: Treatment Starts
Following orientation, you will start your sessions and skills class (if applicable for your path). We will have Progress Check-Ins every 60 days, where we’re checking in on the goals we’ve set and if any adjustments to the treatment need to be made. Most treatment plans take approximately 6-9 months to complete, all, of course, depending on the client’s goals and needs.
Step 6: Additional Treatment or Graduation from Treatment
Once your initial treatment plan is complete, you’ll have options:
You may feel there’s more for us to explore together, so we can talk about continuing with another treatment plan that supports your evolving needs.
Or, you may feel ready to complete your work with Crosby DBT or with therapy all together. At this point, we would agree to close your file and offer any necessary options for future follow-up treatment.
