Fees

It is your responsibility, and not the responsibility of Gracious Bay Counseling PLLC, to fully understand the limitations of your insurance policy, including what services and fees are covered.

​

Sessions are scheduled for 45-60 minutes. If you are unable to arrive on time, your session will still end at the scheduled end time. If Gracious Bay Counseling has an agreement with your insurance carrier, we will bill them for the session and once collected, we will charge your credit card on file for any co-pays and/or deductibles owed.

​

Please note that workshops, letter writing and consultation phone calls outside of regularly scheduled therapy sessions are not billable to the insurance carrier. Gracious Bay Counseling will bill you directly for that time. If Gracious Bay does not have an agreement with your insurance carrier, the fees are as follows:

​

• Initial Evaluation: $175 per intake

• Individual Therapy: $150 per session

• Couples/Family Therapy: $175 per session

• Documentation Fees (letters, reports and phone calls): Anything lasting longer than 5 minutes, $20 per 15 minutes 

• Cancellation Policy: 24-hour notice of cancellation is expected to avoid a charge of $65 for your scheduled session. Insurance carriers cannot be billed for cancellations.

• Saturday Social workshop fees are dependent upon program. Please see events page for more information.
