Additional Information

Rates remain constant from the point at which we begin to work together. Any future rate changes will not apply as long as you remain a current client.

I offer a limited number of appointment slots per week on a sliding scale. The sliding scale is based on your income and ability to pay. We can discuss this option more during our initial consultation or appointment.

I also offer a ten minute check-in via video or phone call on an as needed basis and subject to availability. These check-ins are useful when we’ve been working on something challenging in our sessions or as an opportunity to update in-between scheduled appointments. Please be sure you are in a safe and secure place to discuss your personal matters when calling.

Insurance and Payments

Intrinsicum Potentia Counseling operates on what is commonly known as a “fee-for-service” model (or out-of-pocket model) and does not bill insurance directly for your sessions. This model is similar to how you might pay for other professional services such as an attorney, accountant or plumber. The fees for my professional counseling services are due in full at the time of our sessions. I accept major credit cards, cash and personal checks (made out to MJMCC, LLC). I will provide you with a receipt for services which you may be able to submit to your insurance for Out-of-Network reimbursement. You may also be able to pay directly with your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) card. Please contact your insurance company or benefits administrator prior to our initial meeting to confirm eligibility.

Additional Benefits to the Fee-for-Service Model

Insurance companies usually require a mental health diagnosis in order to cover counseling services. This diagnosis becomes part of your permanent health record and some individuals have been denied life insurance or other benefits as a result. Using the diagnosis, an insurance company determines the length of treatment for each client. As each client is unique, it is difficult to determine the length of treatment at the onset of therapy. This may result in the insurance company stopping payment for therapy services when a client is still in need of treatment.

It includes creating a unique treatment plan based on your needs and not a plan based on the statistical research of the average client. Your insurance company will not have access to any of your private health records unless you choose to release them. This assures that everything discussed in your therapy is confidential.

Cancellation Policy

If you miss your scheduled therapy appointment and you have not notified me at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session. I allow clients one exception based on extraordinary circumstances per a rolling 12-month period.
