I’m just beginning to work on this section but I know this is something big on people’s minds: What will it cost?
FEES
Fees for a 50-minute hour
Psychotherapy / Counseling / Coaching —$120
Hypnotherapy — $150
Why don’t you take insurance?
The short answer, is the insurance system invades your privacy and nickels and dimes your therapist - some actually COUNT the MINUTES I’m with you. More later but more and more therapists are going to self-pay.
