Session Fees

Whether you're starting therapy for the first time or transitioning from another provider, here's what to expect for each session type.

Initial Consultation

Complimentary

A 20-minute phone or telehealth meeting to get a sense of one another, discuss what has you seeking therapy, and answer any questions about the process. The best therapy starts with the right fit.

Individual Psychotherapy

$250 / 50 min

Weekly one-on-one therapy sessions. Cadence is re-evaluated over time as you progress toward your goals. Duration and estimated total cost are discussed at the outset and throughout treatment.

Couples Therapy

Sessions focused on communication, conflict resolution, and reconnection. Dr. Hurand is welcoming of all orientations and LGBTQ+ couples.

"The therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of successful therapy — making sure we are a good fit is my priority."

- Dr. Elissa Hurand

What Your Fee Covers

The session fee reflects far more than the time spent in session together. Here's what's included in your investment.

Doctoral-Level Expertise

Fees are comparable with doctoral-level practitioners with advanced, highly specialized training and over a decade of clinical experience on the West Coast.

Between-Session Work

Significant time spent outside of sessions on continuing education, training, consultation, reading, and compiling personalized client resources.

Evidence-Based Methods

Access to specialized modalities including EMDR, DBT, Somatic Experiencing, AEDP, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and trauma-sensitive yoga.

Insurance & Payment Information

Understanding your options for paying for therapy. Dr. Hurand is committed to helping you navigate the financial side of care.

Out-of-Network Benefits

Dr. Hurand is an out-of-network provider. Many PPO insurance plans offer out-of-network reimbursement that can cover a significant portion of session fees. Contact your insurance company to learn about your specific benefits.

HSA & FSA Accepted

Therapy sessions are eligible expenses for Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). You can use these pre-tax funds to pay for sessions directly.

Superbills Provided

A superbill (detailed receipt) is provided after each session. You can submit this to your insurance company for potential reimbursement of out-of-network mental health services.

Payment Methods

Payment is due at the time of each session. Accepted methods include credit cards, debit cards, and HSA/FSA cards. A card is kept on file for convenience.
