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 meetings with attorneys or other providers.
By statute, in the Mediator role I will not be called upon to testify in any case.
