Co-Parenting and Mediation fees are generally split between the two parents unless one party agrees to pay for the entire fee.
It is very important that you pay the agreed upon fee prior to leaving the office after each session in the form of a cash, credit card, or check. If you find it inconvenient to write several checks per month, it is acceptable to pay for several sessions in advance. Fees that are unpaid, or that appear likely to be unpaid, will be discussed with you individually. Accounts are considered delinquent after two sessions are unpaid. If you are having financial troubles that may affect your ability to pay for therapy or mediation, please let me know and we will try to negotiate a payment plan.
Cancellations should be made at least 24 hours in advance unless there are exigent circumstances. There will be a charge for a full office visit if you fail to notify me of the need to cancel, or no show.
INSURANCE
I currently do not accept insurance. However, I will assist you in providing any documentation needed so that you may receive reimbursement from you insurance company for services provided. The insurance company will typically want to know the dates of service, what services were provided, and a diagnosis for the client receiving the services.
ADDITIONAL FEES
Due to the complex nature of cases involving disputes over custody, high conflict, or court involvement, the client/parent will also be billed for phone calls to attorneys, correspondence to attorneys or the court, as well as court testimony at my hourly rate.
By statute, in the Mediator role I will not be called upon to testify in any case.
