Fees
Psychotherapy is a serious investment towards a better you. People often find that 7-24 sessions of weekly or bi-weekly psychotherapy helps them to reach their therapeutic goals. Others will need or prefer slower long-term therapy. Please see below.
Individual Therapy
Intake Fee
The initial appointment is $250. This session will be approximately 60-70 minutes , as I will be gathering information about you and creating an initial and tentative treatment plan.
Regular Session Fee
Weekly appointments are $230 for one 50 minute session. In these sessions we will discuss what's important to you, process difficult feelings, brainstorm ideas, and create plans for change in your life.
Couples/Family Therapy
Intake and Regular Sessions
Sometimes clients' primary focus for therapy are relationship or marital concerns, or family challenges. You and your partner, or family members will have a joint intake session for 90 minutes, which is $300 for couples, and starting at $360 for families. Subsequent sessions are the same fee for 60 minute couples sessions and 70 min family sessions. On occasion it will be necessary to meet individually as issues arise that are specific to the individual and needs specific attention--please discuss fees at the time of scheduling. As a note, it is preferred that each person have an individual therapist (other than Dr. Greer), but this is not necessary. Furthermore, if you have been seen as an individual client first, I will not be able to see you for couples therapy. Thank you for your understanding. However, if you are a current individual client needing a situation specific joint session with a family member to support your progress in therapy, that is also available.
**Please note that at this time I only accept Aetna insurance, as I am mostly private pay (out-of-pocket). Having a private practice and mainly accepting fees from clients allows me to provide the best and most appropriate care for your treatment goals. You are allowed to use psychotherapy to enhance your life in many ways that insurance providers may not cover.
