Terms of Service

Session Fees

• Individual Therapy: $150 per session (50-60 minutes)
• Couples Therapy: $200 per session (60-75 minutes)
• DMM Assessment: $500 (includes interview, transcription, analysis, written report, feedback session)

Sliding Scale

Limited sliding scale availability ($125-$150/session) for clients experiencing financial hardship. Sliding scale spots are income-verified and prioritized for those without insurance coverage. Inquire during consultation if cost is a barrier.

• Late payment: Sessions not paid at time of service may result in suspension of therapy until account is current
• Returned payments: $25 fee for returned payments (insufficient funds, payment disputes)

Insurance & Reimbursement

I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. I provide superbills (detailed receipts) you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

I do not guarantee insurance reimbursement. Reimbursement rates vary by plan. Verify your out-of-network mental health benefits before beginning therapy.Fee Changes

I reserve the right to adjust fees with 30 days written notice to current clients. New clients will be charged current rates at time of booking.

Technology Requirements

To participate in telehealth sessions, you must have:

• Reliable internet connection — Video quality matters for effective therapy
• Private, confidential space — Free from interruptions during sessions
• Computer, tablet, or smartphone — Computer or tablet recommended for optimal experience
• Quiet environment — Headphones can help ensure confidentiality

Platform

Sessions are conducted via [specify platform: Zoom with HIPAA BAA, SimplePractice video, Doxy.me, etc.], a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will receive a link before your session.

Technical Difficulties

If technical difficulties occur during a session:

• We will troubleshoot together via phone
• If video cannot be restored, we will continue via phone (with your consent)
• If neither video nor phone is available, the session will be rescheduled

You are responsible for ensuring adequate technology and internet connection. Technical difficulties on your end do not waive payment responsibility if session time has begun.

Physical Location Requirement

You must be physically located in Colorado during all therapy sessions. Services cannot be provided to clients located outside Colorado, even temporarily. Violating this requirement may result in immediate termination of therapy services.

Privacy & Safety

You are responsible for:

• Ensuring privacy during sessions (no one else present without prior consent)
• Not recording sessions (without explicit written consent)
• Not being under the influence of alcohol or drugs during sessions

Failure to maintain appropriate session conditions may result in session termination and full fee charge.

Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., Psychology Today, insurance verification sites). I am not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of service of third-party websites.

Client-Initiated Termination

You may terminate therapy services at any time by notifying me via email or phone. No penalty or fee applies for termination (beyond payment for sessions already provided).

Therapist-Initiated Termination

I may terminate therapy services if:

• Non-payment — Failure to pay for services renders therapy unsustainable
• Frequent cancellations/no-shows — Chronic unreliability disrupts therapeutic progress
• Violation of Terms — Violating these Terms (e.g., recording sessions, intoxication during sessions, threats)
• Out-of-scope needs — If your needs exceed my scope of practice or expertise, I will provide referrals
• Ethical concerns — If continuing therapy would violate ethical guidelines (e.g., dual relationships, boundary violations)
• Geographic non-compliance — If you relocate outside Colorado or attend sessions from outside Colorado

I will provide reasonable notice and referrals when terminating services, except in cases of safety concerns or ethical violations requiring immediate termination.

Mutual Termination

When therapy goals are achieved or progress plateaus, we will collaboratively discuss termination and aftercare planning.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from therapy services or these Terms will be resolved in Colorado courts.

Dispute Resolution

If disputes arise, I encourage:

1. Direct Communication — Discussing concerns openly with me first
2. Mediation — If direct communication fails, voluntary mediation may resolve disputes amicably

Arbitration

If mediation fails, disputes may be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with Colorado law, rather than litigation. Arbitration is typically faster and less costly than court proceedings.

Legal Action

If arbitration is not pursued, any legal action must be filed in Colorado courts with jurisdiction over Denver County.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of law, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if necessary. The remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
