Fees & Cancellation Policy
“The price of civilization is paid by the sacrifice of instinctual satisfaction.”
- Sigmund Freud
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (Individual & Marital):
Dr. Washam does not participate in, or accept reimbursement from, any insurance providers. The fee for individual psychotherapy sessions is $150, payable by cash or check at the time of service. Additional professional services are also billed at $150 per hour, including report writing, completion of academic, employment, or government-related evaluations and forms, telephone calls longer than ten minutes, consultations with other professionals at the patient’s request, and the organization or preparation of treatment records and summaries.
​​
Reunification and Co-Parenting Therapy:
Dr. Washam’s rate for reunification and co-parenting therapy is $200 per hour, payable by cash or check at the time of service. This rate applies to 55-minute therapy sessions as well as additional professional services, including report writing, telephone consultations longer than ten minutes, and the organization or editing of records. Preparation for court hearings, travel time, depositions, court appearances, and any other court-related services are billed at $275 per hour. A $2,500 retainer is required prior to acceptance of any case. Dr. Washam does not participate in commercial or federal insurance programs.
​​
Cancellation Policy:
Your scheduled therapy sessions are reserved specifically for you. If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice to Dr. Washam. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice, or failure to attend a scheduled session, will be billed at the full session fee applicable to that appointment. This policy is intended to respect your time, Dr. Washam’s availability, and the scheduling needs of other patients. Missing an appointment without adequate notice disrupts the therapeutic process and denies others the opportunity to utilize that time for their care. Exceptions may be made in cases of genuine emergencies, such as illness or severe weather, where providing 24-hour notice would not have been reasonably possible.
