Session Details

Initial Consultation (no charge, 15-20 min)

Before scheduling your first therapy appointment, we will schedule a brief consultation by phone or video to discuss your concerns. We will discuss your specific circumstances, answer your questions, and determine whether our services are a good fit for you.

Initial Visits ($250, 45 min)

During your first few appointments (usually 2 to 3 sessions), we will address a range of matters including your current concerns in greater detail. I will then discuss my impressions of your concerns in relation to an appropriate initial treatment plan. If you decide to move forward with the treatment recommendation, we will continue scheduling ongoing therapy sessions.

 

Ongoing Therapy ($250, 45 min)

Most therapy sessions are scheduled for 45 minutes and held on a weekly basis; however, we will adjust the frequency as appropriate. Sometimes it may be beneficial to increase the frequency when problems are acute (e.g., twice a week). Conversely, as we determine that there is less of a need for regular appointments, it may make sense to space sessions apart (e.g., once every two weeks). Longer 60-minute sessions are available as well ($333). Session frequency and duration will be determined together as part of your individualized care.

Group Therapy ($100, 90 min)

DC CBT offers group therapy. As group offers an opportunity for multiple individuals to be seen at once, the cost is less than an individual therapy session.

Group Therapy Screening Appointment ($100, 45 min)

All prospective group therapy members will need to go through a group screening appointment to determine eligibility and fit for group therapy. Group screening sessions are 45 minutes in duration. Should a second group screening session be needed for whatever reason, your therapist will discuss this matter with you during the initial group screening session.

Sliding Scale or Reduced Rates

While DC CBT does not provide a sliding scale therapy rate, at times, we are able to offer a limited number of reduced rate slots for individuals experiencing hardships or have concerns with being able to pay the ongoing therapy rate. You are welcome to inquire if any of these slots might be available. Please keep in mind that you will be asked to submit some documentation (e.g., paystub, income tax return, termination notice) to confirm eligibility for the reduced rate. Please note: reduced rates are not available for group therapy related appointments.

Out-of-network & Superbills

Out-of-Network

As with many providers in Washington, DC, DC CBT is an out-of-network provider. That is, we do not participate with any insurance plans. Patients are responsible for session fees at the time of their appointment.

Types of Payments Accepted

We accept cash, check, and all major credit, debit, FSA, and HSA cards as forms of payment.

Superbills

We will provide receipts (“superbills”) that you can submit to your health insurance provider for potential reimbursement. If you plan to use your health insurance benefits, please contact your health insurance provider to learn your policy’s out-of-network benefits and obtain an understanding of how much you can reasonably expect to be reimbursed.

Medicare clients

DC CBT is not a Medicare provider and Medicare will not reimburse for our services. Federal law indicates that if you have Medicare, we can only provide services to you if you sign an agreement stating that you are voluntarily choosing to see a provider outside of Medicare and understand that you may not file claims with or receive reimbursement from Medicare. If you have Medicare or expect to get Medicare coverage soon, please inform us of this matter during your initial consultation call and we will discuss the specifics of this matter.
