Policies & Fees
Fees
An initial 45-minute consultation for an individual is $250; an hour-long couples consult is $300. Individual and couples session fees usually range from $250 to $350. Fees are sliding scale and are determined by a variety of factors, including frequency and timing of sessions, patient finances, etc.
Missed & Canceled Sessions
Missed and canceled sessions are charged in full. However, if notice is given at least 48 hours prior and an alternate time can be arranged within a week or two, the session may be made up without additional charge.
Health Insurance
Samera is an out-of-network provider. Since she is not in-network with any insurance companies, she does not accept insurance. However, if a patient’s insurance plan includes an out-of-network mental health benefit, treatment may be reimbursable through the insurer. Understanding the details of an individual’s out-of-network coverage, as well as specific requirements for reimbursement, are the patient's responsibility to confirm directly with their insurance company. It is then up to the patient to inform the therapist what documentation is needed, so that patient and therapist can work together to ensure reimbursement.
