KATE LEFFEL

​How much do you charge?

My standard session rate for a 50min session for both individuals and couples is $200. I believe that therapy should be accessible to everyone and I offer a few sliding scale times based on need and on a first come, first serve basis.  I accept cash, check, major credit cards, and HSA cards as payment for services.  If you have PPO Health Insurance, you may be able to receive a reimbursement through your insurance provider. I can provide you with a receipt for these purposes.  

 

Even if financial security is a concern, don’t hesitate to contact me if you are interested in therapy. If I'm not able to offer a fee to accommodate your situation, I am connected to a wide network of quality therapists and can offer referrals to best suit your needs.

 

​

Do you accept insurance?

No, I do not bill any insurance directly.  But I do encourage all my clients to speak with their insurance company about reimbursement for some portion of therapy.  Many people are unaware that they have this benefit and insurance plans can sometimes reimburse anywhere from 40-60% of each session and I can provide you with a receipt for these purposes.

 

​

What if I need to reschedule?

I have a 48-hour cancellation policy.  I request that you give 48 hours notice if you need to reschedule a session. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the session fee.

 

​

How many sessions do you recommend for therapy?

The length of our work together will differ for each person.  My goal is for therapy to be as brief as possible, however the length can sometimes depend on the problem we are working with and your commitment to the process.  Because a positive working relationship between the client and therapist is crucial to long-term success, I initially recommend coming in for at least 4 sessions to explore and define our goals.  Most clients continue for 6 months or longer.

 

​

How often will we meet?

We meet at least once a week for a 50 minute session.  Therapy is a commitment you make to yourself so the consistency and frequency are important for building a strong foundation.
