Services and Fees
At Viewpoint Art Therapy, I offer a range of individualized therapy options. Whether you’re looking for art therapy, IFS-informed work, support tailored for men, or space to process your own experiences as a therapist, you’ll find flexible, personalized care here.
Below you’ll find details on session types, rates, and options to help you make an informed decision about what works best for your needs and schedule.
Fees - Individual Therapy
Intake Session
New Individual Therapy Clients
80 minutes
$250
This 60–80 minute intake allows us to wrap up the foundational work in one session, rather than spreading it out over several. It’s a time- and cost-efficient way to make sure we’re ready to hit the ground running by session two.
Individual Therapy Session
50-minute
$180
50-minute sessions are the standard format for individual therapy. Most clients begin with weekly sessions to build momentum and establish a strong foundation. As we go, we’ll check in about what’s working and adjust the length or frequency to best support your goals and schedule.
Individual Therapy Session
80-minute
$250
If I’m honest, this is my favorite format. The extra time allows us to go deeper, whether we’re doing art therapy, IFS parts work, or simply need space to settle in without rushing. With 80 minutes, we’re not just getting started and then immediately wrapping up. We have room to explore, reflect, and actually move through something meaningful.
I know it’s a bigger investment. Some clients choose this format biweekly instead of weekly 50-minute sessions, which can feel more sustainable while still offering the depth they’re looking for.
(If you’re commuting, this option can also mean fewer trips to the office or longer sessions that make the drive feel more worthwhile.)
* If you think I might be the right therapist for you but are unsure how to fit therapy into your budget, I offer two reduced-fee spots at a time through Open Path Psychotherapy Collective. You can review their eligibility requirements on their website (openpathcollective.org), and if you qualify, email me to see whether one of the current reduced-fee openings is available.
Group Therapy
$50-$150
Groups typically range from $50-$150/person per session depending on length of time and materials needed.

Clinical Supervision
Individual -$120/hour
Group -$90/1.5 hours
Are you a Maryland or DC clinician seeking supervision toward counseling or art therapy licensure? I offer supportive, clinically grounded supervision designed to build confidence, sharpen skills, and deepen your therapeutic voice. Read more about my supervision services here.
Paying for therapy
I am an out-of-network provider with all insurance companies. While I don't accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. (Want to learn more about this? Read my blog here.)
Why I Don’t Accept Insurance Directly:
Working out-of-network (OON) allows me to maintain a layer of privacy and protection for your health information—insurance companies don’t have direct access to your therapy records.
I can make clinical decisions based on your needs, rather than insurance company requirements, which often prioritize cost or policy limits over your best interest.
You receive more consistent, personalized care without the constraints of insurance-driven session limits or pre-authorizations.
Maintaining a smaller caseload allows me to give each client focused attention, prepare thoughtfully for sessions, and offer flexibility for rescheduling, while also dedicating time to continuing education and staying current in the field. This ensures you receive high-quality care and that I show up to each session as my most present, prepared self.
You still have the option to submit claims for partial reimbursement if your plan covers out-of-network services.
You can choose a focus that best supports you:
-
Art Therapy
Individual therapy where you’ll experience healing and increased insight through engagement with art materials including paint, clay, collage, drawing, and more.
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
Individual Therapy utilizing Internal Family Systems (IFS) based parts work to explore internal patterns and their impact on your external world and relationships.
-
Therapy for Therapists
Individual therapy tailored for fellow therapists navigating the complexities of professional knowledge and personal experiences.
-
Therapy for Men
This is a space for men who want more than surface-level solutions. Whether you talk, create, or reflect, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and those around you.

FAQs
-
The frequency of our therapy sessions will be determined collaboratively, considering your symptoms, the severity of their impact on your daily life, and the goals we set together.
Initially, we might opt for weekly 50-80 minute sessions or biweekly 80 minute sessions to establish a strong foundation. As we progress and your needs evolve, we can reassess and potentially adjust the frequency.
It's crucial to be open about any scheduling or financial constraints, ensuring that our approach aligns with your well-being and practical considerations.
If childcare, work schedules, financial constraints or commuting pose challenges for your therapy attendance, opting for an 80 minute session every other week instead of the standard 50 minutes weekly could be a great fit for you.

No. Please note that I do not directly accept insurance. Viewpoint Art Therapy is categorized as an out-of-network provider for all insurance policies. Payment for each session is due in full and will be billed the morning of your session.
If you would like to use your Insurer’s Out of Network (OON) benefits, I will provide you with a Superbill (detailed receipt) that contains all the necessary details of the session. You can then submit this Superbill to your insurance company to seek any eligible reimbursement.
If you do seek OON reimbursement, Viewpoint Art Therapy takes no responsibility for pursuing reimbursement or for your insurance company’s decisions regarding reimbursement amounts. OON claims are entirely between you and your insurance company.
Uncertain about your out-of-network benefits? I suggest reaching out to your insurance provider and inquiring about the following:
Do I have out-of-network mental/behavioral health coverage?
Do I need a referral to see an out-of-network provider?
What is the deductible for out-of-network services and has it been met?
How many sessions will be covered per calendar year?
What is my coverage or “allowed amount” per session?
What is the reimbursement rate for CPT code 90832? How about for 90837?
How do I submit claims?
What is the typical processing time for claims, and when can I expect to receive reimbursement?

At Viewpoint Art Therapy, I prioritize your autonomy and privacy by not accepting insurance for therapy services.
Insurance companies often impose restrictions on your care, dictating factors such as session length, frequency, and duration of treatment.
By opting out of working directly with insurance companies, I can help ensure that our therapeutic journey remains solely focused on your needs, without external interference or compromises on your privacy and treatment preferences.
-
I welcome payments through credit or debit cards, including FSA or HSA cards.
To facilitate smooth transactions, I require keeping a card on file, and charges will be processed automatically on the day of our sessions.
Please note that I do not accept cash, check, or money order payments.

Life's uncertainties can occasionally affect our scheduled therapy sessions. I appreciate clear communication and advance notice regarding any such impacts. Your dedicated appointment time is a priority, and I ensure no double booking or overbooking of sessions. I require cancellations to be communicated with a minimum of 48 hours notice.
For cancellations made 24-48 hours before the scheduled appointment, a late cancellation fee of 50% of your scheduled service will be applied. Alternatively, you have the option to reschedule for a makeup session within 7 days to waive the fee. The makeup session will be subject to my availability that week.
For cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice, 100% of the session fee will be billed.
-
Standard session lengths are 50 minutes or 80 minutes, which are perfect for most scheduling needs. However, if you're interested in longer sessions, let me know and I’m happy to discuss options. While insurance does not cover extended sessions, if you're willing to invest, we can certainly make it work. Let's chat about your options and how we can make the most of your time and our time together!
Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
