Good to Know:

  • Getting Started

    We offer a 15 minute free introduction session over the phone to answer any initial questions and to assess how your needs match with our areas of expertise and style. If you decide that we would be a good therapeutic fit, we can begin scheduling appointments which will begin with an intake session.

    The therapeutic relationship is the foundation from which to do the meaningful work involved in therapy. If it doesn’t feel like a good fit between either of us, that’s ok! We encourage you to find your person. We are committed to staying within our areas of professional competence and will refer you to an alternate provider if we believe that your needs would be better addressed elsewhere.

  • Fee

    The rate for a 50-minute session with Shannon is $200 and with Caitlin it is $125.

    Credit, debit, and HSA cards are accepted through the client portal. Your card of choice is kept on file in the client portal and will be automatically charged the day of the scheduled appointment. If you prefer a different form of payment (ex- cash or venmo billing) please let me know.

    Please inquire about rates and fees for other services including but not limited to workshops, training, meeting attendance, case management.

  • Cancellation Policy

    Sessions are reserved especially for you. Once you’re on the schedule, that appointment is your designated time and financial responsibility. If you need to cancel your appointment, please do so in the client portal or by emailing you counselor at least 24 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment to reschedule within that week if possible. Sessions will be billed for the full amount if not rescheduled 24 hours in advance.

    Clients are not charged for sessions that are cancelled by us.

  • Sessions

    In-person sessions are available Monday through Friday from 8:00-2:00 in our office located at 3046 A Berkmar Dr. Charlottesville, VA 22901

    Teletherapy sessions are provided through a secure online platform to clients in the State of Virginia.

    All sessions are 50 minutes in length and are scheduled based on your individuals needs.

  • Insurance

    We do not accept insurance at this time.

    Your insurance may provide some reimbursement if you would like to work with them directly. To help, we can provide a monthly superbill that you may choose to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.

    The rate of reimbursement is determined by your insurance plan. I encourage you to contact your insurance company to see if this is a good option for you prior to scheduling.

  • Crisis / Emergency / Closings

    If you experience a crisis outside of your session time, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for evaluation and support. We are not available after work hours to respond to emergencies.

    The office generally follows the Albemarle County Public School schedule and will be closed on snow days and school holidays unless otherwise indicated.

Good Faith Estimate

The fee for a 50-minute psychotherapy visit (in-person or via telehealth) is $200 for Shannon and $125 for Caitlin. Most clients will attend one psychotherapy visit per week, but the frequency of psychotherapy visits that are appropriate in your case may be more or less than once per week, depending upon your unique needs.You have a right to initiate a dispute resolution process if the actual amount charged to you substantially exceeds the estimated charges stated in your Good Faith Estimate (which means $400 or more beyond the estimated charges). You are encouraged to speak with your counselor at any time about questions you may have regarding your treatment plan, or the information provided to you in this Good Faith Estimate.
