I believe engaging in the psychotherapy process is a courageous step in your efforts toward growth and healing. I approach psychotherapy as a unique kind of learning process, facilitated by a collaborative therapeutic relationship and a safe, confidential environment. My role is to be a listener, facilitator, teacher and advocate. I believe vulnerability is the courageous opposite of weakness that can open a pathway to change. - More information is available on my website: https:/micheleburgner.com.
FEES: $150 per 60-min session. I am not in network with any commercial insurance companies and I am not accepting new Medicare clients. I can submit out-of-network claims to your insurance, so it is possible you may receive a partial reimbursement directly from them. Discounted fee options may be available for financial constraints on a case by case basis.
I have a waitlist for new, non-Medicare, clients. I am currently NOT able to accept new Medicare clients. I am glad to offer a free 15 minute consultation by phone or video upon request.
