SESSIONS & FEES
​
​
*** IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL SESSIONS ARE AVAILABLE ***
Sessions are typically client-led, meaning you drive the development of the goals you have for therapy, and we partner on the best ways to meet those goals. This may include a fusion of treatment methods, art materials, and project ideas, all of which take your personal comfort levels, past experiences, and timeline into consideration.
​
While all treatment is unique to the client, I follow a general structure of:
​

Making art is not a requirement of session, but it is always an option. If you choose to create something, we will discuss the experience as well as any thoughts and feelings that surface during the process. Art is not created in a vacuum, but rather as an additional method of expression, aiding verbal exploration and understanding. This is where Art Therapy stands out- the work created here focuses more on the Process rather than the Product.
​
Since you may question whether art therapy is right for you, I offer a free 15-minute consultation where you can ask questions and learn about my approach to therapy. If you decide to start sessions, I will provide all the necessary paperwork and information digitally for your convenience. We will start with an intake session that can range from 90-120 minutes where we learn about each other, the work we will do together, and determine treatment goals. Intake session fees range from $450-$650. The standard weekly forty five (45) minute session rate of $240, unless we jointly agree on a custom structure.

Individual sessions
Weekly individual sessions are $240 for forty five (45) minutes. At this time I do not accept insurance, but will provide a receipt for all fees paid at the end of each month, unless otherwise requested, so that you may submit to your insurance company. We will agree on a method of payment at the start of treatment. Depending on the treatment issues being addressed, sessions may occur ongoingly, or for a finite amount of time, as determined by the client's goals and expectations.

Group sessions
Group fees would be determined by the number of participants, location, length of each group session, and the longevity of the group. Art Therapy group fees may include the cost of supplies unless other arrangements are made before the start of the group. Some group options may include, but are not limited to: couples therapy, family therapy, prenatal stressors and anxiety, postpartum birth trauma and depression, adolescence and issues around identity, autism spectrum disorders and other developmental delays, and coping with traumatic events and mental illnesses.

Please stay tuned for an adolescent and guardian social anxiety group, as well as a postpartum moms group. Please contact me if you are interested.

Education
I offer educational services, such as presentations on the fundamentals of Art Therapy for non-art therapists, workshops on self-care, and supervision for new graduates looking for hours in order to achieve their advanced credentials and licenses. These options include experientials that are tailored to the audience and can be customized to meet your needs.
Fees would be determined by the number of participants, location, length of time, and the scope of the information provided. Please contact me to discuss options!
