CounselingWorks, P.A.
Fees and Payment Policy

Our private-pay fees range from $75-$100 per hour, depending upon your income and family size. You will be asked to provide us with last year’s tax return as proof of income and family size if you request to pay anything less than our full fee per hour ($100). If your financial situation changes for the better or worse during our work together, please discuss that with us so we can adjust your fee accordingly.

Pro Bono Services
The standard sliding scale at CounselingWorks is $75-100 per 50-minute session. However, we provide some limited evaluation, therapy and clinical supervision services at a significantly reduced rate ($10-$40) in compliance with the National Association of Social Workers’ Code of Ethics. You may qualify for reduced fee services based upon financial hardship. You do not qualify for reduced fee services if you have health insurance coverage which will pay for your care, even if you cannot use your health insurance benefits at this office. Often, there is a waiting list for reduced fee hours. We will advise you if we have reduced fee time available and you may qualify for it based upon financial hardship.

Payment Schedule
Payment is due at the time services are rendered. By having you pay at each session, we eliminate the need to bill you. This helps keep our costs as low as possible, prevents the accumulation of large debts on your part, and avoids possible risks to your privacy that occur when invoices for service are mailed to you. We encourage you to contact us immediately for assistance if temporary financial problems affect your ability to pay for our services to you.

Insurance
We are an approved provide for most major insurance plans and employee assistance programs. If you wish to use your health benefits to pay for your services, please contact us to determine if we accept your particular EAP or insurance plan.
