Individual session (45-50 min.) $160
Couple or family session(55-60 min.) $190 Initial intake session (55-60 min.) $190 Missed appointment or late cancellation (less than 24 hours) $70 I am able to reduce the fee for clients who are paying out of pocket. I ask that clients consider their income and lifestyle and select a fee that is possible for them between $120 and $160 for individual sessions or $140 and $190 for couple/family sessions. I have a limited number of slots for significantly reduced fees. Please feel free to ask before the first session if any of those are available. |
I am a BlueCross/Blue Shield provider, and an out-of-network provider for other insurance companies. This means that I bill to BCBS, but clients covered by other insurance pay me directly and my billing person submits the claim. The insurance company then reimburses the client. It is best for potential clients to call the number on the back of their insurance card and ask these questions:
1. What is the benefit level to see Catherine Lally for mental health services? 2. What is the deductible amount (if there is one) and what is the copy or coinsurance per session? If I am not listed in their system they may ask my licensure status. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with doctoral level training in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am also a Licensed Psychologist at the Master's Degree level. Insurance does not cover "marital counseling." However, when couples come for counseling, sometimes we can use insurance when one or both spouses have some kind of health issue that warrants therapy, such as depression or anxiety or a history of trauma. Research often supports the use of couple sessions to work on those and other mental health issues. |
