Tide Pools is an out-of-network practice. This means we do not contract directly with insurance companies, including single-case agreements. This allows us to provide the depth and quality of treatment that meets our standard and maintain longterm therapy relationships that lead to lasting change.

Insurance plans vary significantly in terms of the benefits they offer. They may offer different benefits for in-network and out-of-network services. You should review your plan benefits and consult with your insurance provider directly. We are able to offer a statement of services (known as a Superbill), upon request, as a courtesy, which you may be able to use to pursue partial reimbursment for services.

Psychodynamic approaches to therapy have much in common with CBT - including a common focus on helping individuals to deepen insight into patterns of thought and how these influence feelings and behavior. However, we do not offer CBT specifically.

Psychotherapy sessions are typically 50 minutes. As we offer long-term therapy services, we are not able to project the total cost of treatment at the outset. Each clinician’s fee varies based on experience, specific expertise, and the local market rate for private practice clinicians.

We do not offer fixed-fee assessments because we tailor the scope of our work to the needs of the patient. We bill all services at a prorated hourly rate. As we gather background information, we will be able to provide you with a better estimate of the total cost. For reference, most comprehensive assessments in the practice range from $5,000-$7,000 in total cost. Brief diagnostic assessments with uncomplicated presentations may carry a lower cost. Determining needs for accommodations, clarifying complex developmental and clinical presentations, absence of school and other records, and other complicating factors may increase the cost of assessment. We will discuss all of these variables in your initial consultation and clinical interviews.
