it all starts with a consultation
The connection between the therapist and the client is the foundation for exploration and change. Melissa offers a 15-minute complimentary phone consultation in order to determine whether it would be a good fit to work together.
The rates will be discussed for therapy upon initial contact. All major credit cards and flexible spending account (FSA) and HSA cards are accepted. Melissa believes people should not be denied access to quality mental health care as the result of current financial hardships. Occasionally she is able to offer clients a sliding scale fee based on your unique financial situation.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.
