Fees and FAQs
Rates & Insurance
-
Individual therapy (virtual and in person) is $120/session
-
Augusta Center for Therapy is Out-of-Network with insurance companies. I will provide you with a monthly statement (called a Superbill) which you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. I have found that many insurance plans will reimburse 40%-80% of the cost of Out-of-Network therapy after meeting your deductible.
-
A superbill is a document that contains information about the services you received during a therapy session, including the date of the service, the type of service, a diagnosis and the cost of the service. When you pay for a therapy session out-of-pocket, you can request a superbill from your therapist, which you can then submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.
If your insurance provider covers out-of-network services, they may reimburse you for a portion of the cost of the therapy session. The amount of reimbursement can vary depending on your specific insurance plan and the type of service you received.
-
I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Cancellations made with less notice will be charged the full fee unless in an emergency situation
Confidentiality
-
Your sessions are private and confidential. The only exceptions are if you’re a danger to yourself or others, or if there’s concern about the abuse/neglect of a child, elderly person, or person with a disability. Before your first session, you’ll receive a confidentiality agreement to review and sign.
-
Yes! I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform to protect your privacy. To ensure confidentiality on your end, we recommend choosing a quiet, private space for your sessions.
About Therapy
-
No, you don’t have to be in crisis to start therapy! Many people seek therapy to work on personal growth, manage stress, or navigate life transitions. Therapy is a space for support, no matter where you are in your journey.
-
Therapy can still be a good fit even if you’ve had a negative experience in the past. Different therapists have different styles, and it might take time to find someone whose approach works for you. If you’re open to trying again, I’m happy to help you explore what could make this experience better.
-
Therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes long. Most clients start with weekly sessions, but the frequency can be adjusted based on your preferences, goals, and progress.
-
The timeline varies for everyone. Some people notice changes in a few sessions, while others may take longer depending on their goals and challenges. Therapy is a process, and consistency is key to seeing meaningful results.
