Epoché Psychotherapy

Rates

What I charge and what to expect at the time of service. Money is one of the things therapy is often vague about; this page is the opposite.

When clinically appropriate, 90-minute therapy sessions may be scheduled and prorated from the standard session rate. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP): $200–$500 depending on session type.

Standard therapy sessions

Individual Psychotherapy (55 minutes)

$200 per session

This includes:

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)

Offered in collaboration with licensed prescribers who handle evaluation and prescribing — named on the KAP page.

Important:

All medical evaluation, screening, prescribing, and follow-up are handled by the licensed prescribers I work with. I do not prescribe or dispense ketamine. You pay the prescriber separately for medical services.

The prescriber bills you separately for medical services and quotes their current fees directly; some insurances are accepted, depending on the prescriber. Those fees do not include any prescriptions.

New KAP clients begin with three preparation sessions; clients already in therapy with me need one. Whether preparation and integration sessions can be billed to your insurance plan depends on the plan — ask me before we start and I'll confirm with your benefits.

Longer sessions

When clinically appropriate, I may schedule 90-minute therapy sessions. These are prorated from the standard 55-minute session rate and discussed ahead of time.

For clinicians

I offer EMDR consultation for clinicians working toward EMDRIA Certification — small group and individual, by telehealth. Rates and formats →

Payment methods

I accept:

Payment is processed automatically after each session.

Insurance & reimbursement

I am in network with several major carriers for clients in Washington; the current list is in the FAQ. Those contracts are Washington plans, so if you're seeing me by telehealth from Colorado, sessions are private pay (superbills below). If your plan is one of them, if your plan is one of them, your cost is whatever your plan sets (copay, coinsurance, deductible), and I can help you read your benefits.

If I am not in network with your plan, you pay at the time of service and I provide a superbill for reimbursement. Many PPO plans reimburse a portion. I also work with Thrizer, which handles the claim so you pay an estimated copay at the time of service rather than the full fee up front.

Good faith estimate

If you're paying out of pocket — whether you don't have insurance or have insurance you'd rather not use — federal law (the No Surprises Act) entitles you to a written estimate of what therapy will cost.

The arithmetic is simple. At $200 a session, weekly therapy runs about $800 a month; every other week, about $400. KAP is priced above.

You can ask for the estimate at any time. You'll get it in writing when we schedule, and a new one any time something changes. If a bill ever comes in $400 or more above the estimate, you can dispute it through the federal process at cms.gov/nosurprises.
