Counseling Services & Costs
Marriage & Family Therapy
Serving couples, individuals and children, I offer Marriage & Family Therapy that is brief, solution-focused, short term therapy with specific goals in mind.
Because Marriage & Family Therapy is short term in nature, studies show that clients are highly satisfied with their services. Over 98 percent of clients of Marriage & Family therapists report their therapy services as "good" or "excellent".
Typically, Marriage & Family therapists have a Master's or PhD in Marriage & Family Therapy and an average of 13 years of clinical practice.
They are recognized as a "core" mental health profession, along with psychiatry, psychology, social work and psychiatric nursing.
Consumers report that Marriage & Family therapists are the mental health professionals they would most likely recommend to friends, over psychologists, social workers and psychiatrists.

Costs & Treatment Packages
Costs: 180 CHF for a 50 minute session.
During the first counseling session a treatment plan is discussed, clients can decide if they want to move forward with treatment or not. Many times just a few sessions are needed.
Typically clients commit to 1-4 months of counseling. By the end of therapy, they have the skills to
continually improve and maintain their progress on their own.
Insurance--"Out-of-Network"
I am not a provider for any insurance plan. My services are considered "out of network" and my clients pay "out-of-pocket".
Important--Please ask your insurance company if you can use "out of network" therapists, what type of diagnosis is needed, and how much they will reimburse you before starting our counseling sessions.
Often, insurance companies will cover 70-80% of the full counseling fee.
If you want to request reimbursement from your insurance company, after four sessions I provide a clinical diagnosis and summary of services to submit to your insurance company.
Please note that counseling is not covered by Swiss Health Insurance
Scheduling &Payment
Sessions are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Popular time slots fill up very quickly, so it is recommended to schedule in advance.
As scheduling in done on a first-come, first-served basis, your payment locks in your time slot and reserves that exact time slot for you.
Skype Sessions
For sessions via Skype, payment is made prior to the therapy session using Pay Pal.
1) Please write the date of your therapy session on your Pay Pal transfer slip.
2) Once the payment is made, please email a copy of your confirmation slip to the therapist.
3) Payment confirmation is required to schedule your desired time slot and counseling session
Please note a 48 hour cancellation or change notice is required, otherwise the client is responsible for the full counseling fee of 180 CHF.
