What does it cost to participate in group?
Groups that meet every other week are $60 per session.
Groups that meet once a month are $80 per session.
Payment is made by check or Zelle (secure bank-to-bank transfer) at the first session of each month.
Two virtual consultation sessions ($150 each) are required before joining the group. These sessions—often reimbursable by insurance—allow me to understand your needs and concerns, gather relevant history, and help prepare you for the group experience. If at any point during the consultation phase we decide not to move forward, you will not be charged.
My groups are non-healthcare groups that support personal development rather than the treatment of mental illness. As a result, participation in the group itself does not meet the medical-necessity criteria required by health insurers for coverage.
These groups are designed for self-discovery and personal growth. By participating in a group outside the mental health insurance system, you are ensured a high level of privacy and will not be given a mental health diagnosis.
Your group fee is charged whether or not you attend a session. This fee holds your space in the group and functions similarly to a membership fee. This policy helps maintain group cohesion and allows me to cap membership at seven participants per group.
