Fees & Paperwork
Everything You Need To Know About Fees, Scheduling & Paperwork Before We Begin
Payment & Insurance
Payment is due at the time of each session. I’m an out-of-network provider and can offer a superbill if your insurance reimburses for therapy.
Payment options include credit/debit card and HSA.
Current fees:
Individual sessions
$195 per 60-minute session
$300 per 90-minute session
$400 per 2-hour session
$500 per 2.5-hour session
$ 650 per 3-hour session
Couples sessions
$195 per 60-minute session
$300 per 90-minute session
$400 per 2-hour session
$500 per 2.5-hour session
$ 650 per 3-hour session
Couples intensives
Pricing depends on length and structure. We discuss this together during our consultation so you know exactly what your investment will be.
Cancellation & Rescheduling
Therapy requires time, consistency, and presence. When we reserve time together, that space is held just for you.
- Individual and couples sessions: 24 hours’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule.
- Couples intensives: Because these require extended blocks of time, more notice is required.
Late cancellations or missed sessions are billed at the full fee.
If something unavoidable happens, reach out. Communication always helps us navigate scheduling respectfully.
Payment & Billing
Payment is collected at the time of each session.
I accept:
- Credit/debit cards
- HSA cards
A card is kept securely on file so billing is automatic.
Insurance Information
I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance directly.
If your insurance plan offers out-of-network reimbursement, I can provide a superbill that you may submit. Every plan is different, so if you plan to use insurance, it helps to ask them:
- Do you cover out-of-network mental health services?
- What percentage do you reimburse?
- What is my deductible?
- Are telehealth sessions covered?
Many clients choose to pay privately so they can work without insurance limitations on diagnosis or session frequency.
Intake Paperwork & What I Need From You
Before we meet, I’ll gather a few essentials so our first session can focus on you.
Before our first session, you’ll complete:
- Basic intake forms
- A short questionnaire about any previous therapy or major life events
- Current medications
- Policies & consent
- Credit card authorization form
For couples, each partner fills out their own paperwork. This gives me a fuller understanding of how each of you sees the relationship.

Blooming Relationships Counseling provides good faith estimates to all clients in accordance with the No Surprises Act. The Good Faith Estimate shows the cost of items and services that are reasonably expected for your health care needs for an item or service. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created.
The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that might arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. If this happens, federal law allows you to dispute (appeal) the bill.
You may contact the health care provider or facility to let them know the billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate. You can ask them to update the bill to match the Good Faith Estimate, ask to negotiate the bill, or ask if there is financial assistance available.
You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days (about 4 months) of the date of the original bill.
There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on the Good Faith Estimate. If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the health care provider or facility, you will have to pay the higher amount.
To learn more and get a form to start the process, go to www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call HHS at (800) 368-1019.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate or the dispute process, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 368-1019.
Keep a copy of the Good Faith Estimate in a safe place or take a picture of it. You may need it if you are billed a higher amount.
