Rates & Policies
Sliding scale
I use a sliding scale to calculate the rate of a one-hour philosophical counseling session for you. A session costs between $75 and $150, depending on your household income.
To calculate your rate, take your household income (including your income and that of your significant other or spouse, if relevant) and multiply by .1%. So, if your household income is $80,000 a year, multiply by .001, and your rate is $80 for an hour-long session.
Philosophical counseling is not covered by health insurance at this time.
How often do we meet and for how long?
Every week or every other week
After the first session, when we'll get to know each other and get a sense of the big questions you want to pursue, you can decide whether you'd like to meet every week or every other week. I reserve a client's slot on the calendar for three months at a time.
Commit to at least three months
The kind of transformative work we'll be doing requires us to go deeply into the narrative of your life, reflect on your deepest values, question assumptions, think critically and creatively, try on new perspectives, evaluate your options, and take practical steps toward the life you want to build. That all takes some time, so I expect for us to commit to at least three months of work together to unpack issues and make lasting change in your life.
Where do we meet?
All philosophical counseling sessions have moved to Zoom. I recommend that you find a quiet and private place on your end to talk, so you can speak freely during our sessions with minimal interruptions. (I do get that interruptions sometimes happen — full disclosure, I have a dog who sometimes likes to say hello — we just want to minimize them so you can focus on you!)
Cancellation policy
If you cancel your session less than 24 hours in advance, I will not be able to fill your spot and will have to charge you for your session. If you need to cancel, please do so as far in advance as possible (a week in advance is preferred). If you need to shift the time of your session, I may be able to accommodate, so please ask before cancelling.
Age restriction
At this time, I offer philosophical counseling for adults (who are at least 18 years of age). I will consider younger teenage clients on a case-by-case basis.
Payment
After each session
Directly after our session, I will email you a PayPal invoice that allows you to pay by credit card online. Please pay your invoice within 24 hours.
As a three-month package
If you'd like to pay for your three months of sessions all at once as a nonrefundable package, you'll get a 15% discount.
