Lauren Malkasian Therapy
scheduling
Please call me or email me to schedule a 15-minute complimentary phone consultation to connect personally and help you decide if you’d like to make an appointment. We can talk about your needs, and you can ask any questions you have about therapy. This first conversation is a good opportunity for us both to discover whether we are a good fit to work together.
fees
The fee for a 50-minute session is $175. I offer a limited amount of sliding scale slots based on financial need. If this is a concern for you, please contact me (to discuss this option further. If I'm not able to accommodate you, I can provide you with referrals.
Cash, check and credit cards are accepted for payment. Payment is due at the time services are rendered.
​
insurance
I am an out-of-network provider. Contact your insurance provider in order to determine whether or not your policy covers out-of-network mental health providers. Upon request, I can provide a statement for you to submit to your insurance company for the possibility of partial or full reimbursement.
I encourage clients to contact their insurance provider directly prior to their first session by asking the following questions:
-
Does my policy cover out-of-network, mental health providers?
-
What is my deductible and has it been met?
-
What percentage of my bill will be covered for services obtained by an out-of-network provider?
-
How many sessions will be covered per calendar year?
-
Does my plan cover teletherapy?
​
*Please note that insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis in order to qualify for reimbursement.

Cancellation Policy
Since the scheduling of an appointment involves the reservation of time specifically for you, you will be expected to pay for the appointment unless you provide at least 24 hours for rescheduling or cancellation. Please note that insurance plans typically do not cover missed or canceled sessions.
