Fees & Policies

Billing & Insurance

As a foreign counselor, my services are not covered by German public insurance. If you have German private or international insurance, it may be possible to receive reimbursement for sessions with a referral/recommendation for counseling from your doctor. I will be happy to discuss payment options during our free 30 minute consultation.

I do provide financial scholarships for individuals in situations of financial need. My scholarships will subsidize up to 30% of the cost of therapy. Please inquire about taking advantage of my financial scholarship during our initial consultation if this is a concern for you.

Appointments & Scheduling

At Least Weekly

Consistency is key for the therapeutic process, so I prefer to have regular weekly appointments with all clients. I do not do every other week sessions, but I am happy to see you more than once a week if we decide to work more frequently.

Flexible Reschedules Instead of Cancellations

If you need to cancel a session, you can reschedule for a new time during the week, or one week before or after your absence. This allows for a three-week window to reschedule a missed session. There is no cancellation fee if you are able to reschedule, even up to the last minute.

If you choose to not reschedule or we cannot find a day/time that is mutually available for a reschedule, you will be charged the full fee for the missed session.

Fees are waived for 2 absences per year for vacations or emergencies. These “freebies” are reset on January 1.

When I’m Not Available

If at any time I cannot be present for our session due to illness, vacation, or professional trainings, you will not be charged and you may choose whether or not to reschedule that session. I will give you as much notice as possible.

I am not available for sessions during national holidays. You will receive a list of holidays that I will not be working so you can plan your time. You are welcome to reschedule sessions around national holidays, but there will be no charge if not.
