Please take a moment to review the following information
Consultation
I offer a free 30-minute consultation (either on the phone or in my office), so you can get a sense of whether we have a good match. It is also an opportunity for me to decide whether or not I will be able to help you.
Reduced Fees
If you cannot afford my fee, please let me know because I do have a limited sliding scale or I can connect you with another counselor to serve your needs.
Rates
This will be discussed during the initial appointment. A session is approximately 50 minutes.
Insurance
April A. West, LPC is an out-of-network provider. This is to preserve your confidentiality during treatment, and to allow you more control over the treatment you receive. I can provide you with the paperwork needed to claim reimbursement from your insurance company. You may be reimbursed in full or in part depending upon your individual insurance plan.
If you do not want to submit claims yourself, you can use Better:
https://www.getbetter.co/
A company which will submit your out-of-network claims for you for a fee. Please note that they are a separate company and I do not work directly with them.
Cancellation Policy
If you do not attend your scheduled 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.
Payment
Cash, Credit Card or check accepted for payment at the time of service.
