Kimberly Schildbach Therapy
When we are struggling in relationships or with ourself,
our whole life suffers. Â
Steps taken now to maximize your mental health will pay dividends later on.
I charge $250 for individual sessions and $300 for couples sessions. Sessions are 50 minutes long** and can be scheduled every week or every two weeks depending on your needs. I also offer therapy intensives.
Because your therapy time is a time set aside specifically for you, I require at least 24 hours for cancellation. If you cancel within 24 hours, I will charge the full fee.
Payment can be made by any major credit card from your HSA/FSA account.
My fees reflect my experience, my commitment to the highest level of care, and my investment in ongoing training and certifications. I have a very exclusive practice, with limited appointment slots. This allows me to serve you the best. I spend my time between sessions thinking about the work I am doing with you, expanding my skills, and attending to my continuing education to help serve you better.
** 75 minute session can be scheduled and fees will be prorated.
Our work together requires my full investment and attention, I ask you to be equally invested.
Let's work together to get you the life and relationship you want.
Please note:
I do not take insurance.
I don't want insurance companies to make your mental health decisions.
As such, I am not paneled with any insurance carriers. If you are coming for individual therapy I can provide you an invoice, called a superbill, for you to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Reimbursement should be seen as a bonus, not a prerequisite for working with me. Please note, a superbill does require a diagnosis.
Couples therapy is deemed "not medically necessary" by insurance companies and is not eligible for reimbursement.
Couples therapy focuses on communication and dynamics which are not considered diagnoseable mental health conditions. The diagnosis made needs to be the focus of treatment. You will find some therapists who will diagnose one member of the couple with anxiety or depression so that the couple can pursue reimbursement. Working in therapy on anything other than the diagnosed condition can be a form of insurance fraud, one that I will not partake in.
Beyond that, having a superbill or using your insurance for treatment requires a diagnosis and allows the insurance carrier to determine length of treatment. Most of my clients would rather not have their private health information shared with insurance carriers who then may store that information in the Medical Information Bureau, where is could be accessed by other parties.
Your privacy is extremally important to me.
