Individual Therapy sessions are 55 minutes. During your first session, the Intake Session, we will review any questions you have about practice paperwork, therapy in general, and practice policies. To help with assessment, you will be asked more clarifying questions about the information provided and you and your therapist will be sure therapy goals are understood.

Clients are asked to commit to weekly sessions for the first 4 to 6 weeks of therapy to ensure a solid foundation. From there it can be discussed whether moving to bi-weekly sessions or a once-a-month session schedule will be appropriate.

55 Minute Individual Therapy Session Cost is $160 per session

Sliding fees are available for clients who meet income requirements on a limited availability basis.

It is your responsibility to check with your insurance plan to verify if your plan is in-network with Kristen Stewart, LMSW of Breaking Dawn Therapy PLLC as a provider.

If your insurance plan is not in-network, you may be eligible to receive reimbursement for your therapy sessions from your out-of-network insurance provider. You can be provided with a monthly “superbill” which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

You will need to contact your insurance carrier directly to determine if they will cover a portion of fees as an out-of-network provider.

Here are some questions you can ask your insurance provider:

• Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
• What is the benefit for out-of-network providers?
• What is my deductible, and has it been met for this year?
• How many therapy sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
• What is the coverage amount for each therapy session?

Please Note: Insurance companies dictate the length of treatment and require that you be diagnosed with a mental health disorder in order for therapy session costs to be covered. A mental health diagnosis remains permanently on your health record. Insurance companies have the right to audit your therapy files and ask questions of your therapist about your treatment.
