Psychotherapy Services and Fees

SERVICES

I respect that life is busy. Depending on your needs and schedule, I offer two service platforms:

At my office in Arcadia or, via Doxy.me, a HIPAA protected virtual platform that creates one less appointment to travel to and allows you to be in the privacy and comfort of your own home/office.

FEES
1  ~ weekly 50-minute session $190.00 1  ~ weekly 90-minute session $285.00   Looking for a reduced fee while meeting women who are like-minded that will enhance your support system? Talk to me about Chapter 2. You can find more information here:  https://joanneroyerphd.com/group-coaching/       I offer limited appointment times for those clients who are participating members of Open Path Collective.  
INSURANCE
I do not take insurance. I do my best to keep my work with clients separate from insurance companies.  In doing so, I find that my clients are able to better reach their goals, and make more progress. Often time insurance companies dictate a number of appointments clients need, and how work should be completed. I believe that these decisions should be made by between you and I.  Insurance companies also require that a clinical mental health diagnosis be made which I do not believe is necessary in order for our work to be effective. Not all issues that bring a client into psychotherapy or coaching are tied to disorder. Not working with insurance gives you, the client, the utmost choice, and control over your work, and give us the ability to work together with the focus remaining on you! That's what it's all about. WHILE I DO NOT PROVIDE INSURANCE BILLING, I WILL, HOWEVER, PROVIDE YOU WITH A RECEIPT THAT MAY BE ACCEPTED FROM SOME PPO INSURANCES, AND A REIMBURSEMENT MAY BE PROVIDED TO YOU.  PLEASE BE SURE TO CALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY DIRECTLY TO INQUIRE.
PAYMENT
Payment is made at the beginning of each session via cash, personal check or using a major credit card.  For clients preferring to use a credit card, your information will be entered once in an encrypted, HIPAA compliant billing system which then will automatically bill you for each session as they occur.

Members of Open Path Collective, I accept cash or check only.

I invite you to schedule a no-cost 30-minute call as your first step to explore working together.
