Joanna recognizes every client's situation, readiness and background contributing to her therapy journey is unique. How long you need to engage in therapy and how often you attend sessions will be influenced by unexpected or changing circumstances. If increased stress and anxiety develops during the challenging process of depth psychotherapy, it is not unusual for a client to request extra sessions and/or increase frequency of sessions.
Together we will continually assess the appropriate frequency of therapy and will work to determine when you have met your goals and are ready for discharge.
Where services will be delivered.
• I am currently only providing services via telehealth until further notice; as such, all benefits will be quoted as virtual unless indicated otherwise in the notes section of this document.
Charges are not higher than the below listing:
One individual session is as follows: $300.00
Individual follow-up session - $300.00
Individual crisis session for first 45-minutes $300.00
Individual crisis session for each additional 30-minutes - $200.00

Client Diagnosis
As a therapist, I must diagnosis clients for both ethical, legal, and insurance reasons -- as well as required by the "No Surprises Act."
Your Good Faith Estimate diagnosis is:
Z13.30 Encounter for screening for mental health diagnosis
This diagnosis is only to satisfy the federal requirement for this form and is not a formal psychological diagnosis. A formal diagnosis occurs after an assessment has been completed, which typically occurs 1-5 sessions after beginning psychotherapy. If you choose to decline a formal diagnosis, I will not update this GFE.
It is within your rights to decline a diagnosis per state and federal guidelines.
Your Financial Responsibility Summary
For a good faith estimate: the amount you would owe if you were to attend therapy for 52 sessions in a year (weekly, without skipping any weeks for holidays, break, vacation, unplanned events/sickness, etc.). The "Good Faith Estimate" requires practitioners to provide an exact estimate and not a range.
Out of an abundance of caution and transparency, I will only quote weekly appointments.

• The Good Faith Estimate does not include services not provided by your provider that you may need and that your provider may recommend. For instance, the Good Faith Estimate does not include the cost of seeking medication for mental health.
• The Good Faith Estimate is an estimate for services only and does not include other fees, such as fees for cancelling less than 24 hours in advance. These fees are outlined in the informed consent that is signed before the start of therapy services and that you have control over.
