Fees & Packages

Fees & Packages

This practice is transitioning to a private-pay model to support flexible, individualized care so that therapy can be guided by your needs rather than coverage limitations.


Short-Term Integrative Therapy

Somatic Experiencing & Cognitive Restructuring

Integrative Somatic Care is a short-term therapy approach that combines Somatic Experiencing® principles with cognitive restructuring to support nervous system regulation and meaningful change. This short-term therapy format is designed for clients seeking focused, time-limited care rather than open-ended weekly therapy. 


Most clients complete treatment within 4 –10 sessions, depending on goals and complexity.


Session Fees (Private Pay)

Services are offered on a cash-pay basis to allow flexibility in session length and focus. 

  • 90 Minute Intake Session: $160
  • 60 Minute Individual Session: $135
  • 90 Minute Individual Session: $185

Session length is collaboratively determined based on clinical need and client preference.


Packages: 

A. 4 Session Clear Start Package

Minimum engagement, high completion rate.

Includes:

  • 90 min intake
  • 3 × 60 min sessions
  • Package Rate: $510


Recommended Program (Most Clients Start Here)

B. 6 Session Integrative Care Package — $780

This is the default starting option for most clients.

Includes:

  • 1 × 90 minute intake session
  • 4 × 60 minute sessions
  • 1 × 90 minute session

Why this works:

  • Allows adequate time for assessment, nervous system regulation, skill building, and integration
  • Supports deeper somatic work without rushing
  • Often reduces the total number of sessions needed overall

Clients may complete sessions weekly or bi-weekly based on needs and scheduling.


Additional Program Options

C. Extended Focus Program (8 –10 Sessions)

For clients needing deeper or more sustained work:

  • Intake plus a mix of 60 and 90 minute sessions
  • Range: $1,040 – $1,300
  • Length and pacing determined collaboratively


All packages are time-limited by design and reviewed regularly.


Program Structure & Commitment
Therapy packages are offered to support consistency, focus, and continuity of care. Packages are not contracts for treatment and may be discontinued at any time.

Payment
Package fees are paid in advance unless otherwise agreed upon.

Refunds & Discontinuation
If a client chooses to discontinue services before completing a package, unused sessions will be refunded on a prorated basis at the standard session rate, minus sessions already used.

Clinical Flexibility
Session length (60 – 90 minutes) and pacing may be adjusted based on clinical need and mutual agreement.

No Guarantee of Outcomes
Therapy outcomes vary by individual. Packages do not guarantee specific results but are intended to provide adequate structure for meaningful progress.

Private Pay/Insurance
Services are not billed to insurance. Clients are responsible for full payment and may request a superbill if desired.

Why Private Pay?

Choosing private pay allows therapy to be guided by clinical need rather than insurance restrictions.

Benefits include:

  • No diagnosis required solely for billing
  • Longer sessions when clinically appropriate
  • Flexible pacing and scheduling
  • Greater privacy and confidentiality
  • No session limits imposed by insurance plans

Why do you offer packages instead of only single sessions?

Packages support consistency, reduce therapy drift, and allow deeper work—especially for somatic approaches that benefit from continuity. Clients are never locked in and may discontinue at any time.

Is the 6-session package required?

No. It is simply the recommended starting point for most clients. Other options are available and discussed during the intake session.

What if I need fewer or more sessions?

That’s common. We review progress regularly and adjust as needed. Therapy is collaborative, not one-size-fits-all.

Why are sessions longer than 60 minutes?

Somatic Experiencing and integrative work often benefit from additional time for regulation, processing, and integration. Longer sessions can reduce overall treatment length.

Do you take insurance?

No. Working outside insurance allows more flexibility, avoids diagnostic pressure, and supports a more personalized therapeutic process.

Can I use my HSA or FSA?

Often yes. Clients are encouraged to check with their plan administrator.

Is this short-term therapy right for me?

This model works well for clients who want focused support, practical tools, and measurable progress without committing to indefinite therapy.
