How much does therapy cost?
Our current standard fee is:
$125 per session (50 minutes).
If you are planning on using your insurance to cover the cost of therapy, please contact your "behavioral health insurance carrier" and find out what percentage of the fee they will cover for an out-of-network licensed psychologist. At the end of each therapy session you will be provided a bill for the session. You will be expected to pay for each session at this time. Please pay by writing a check to Paul E. Dunn, Psy.D.. You will then be able to send a copy of the bill to your insurance carrier and they will reimburse you the amount that they will cover. Most insurance carriers will cover about 80% of the fee.
