Convenient & Effective

Single sessions can occur in person in Pittsburgh and anywhere in the world online. My standard fee is $239.00 per session whether conducted in my office or online. I accept cash or credit cards. I do not process insurance but can provide a statement of service for reimbursement if your insurance covers clinical hypnosis. All sessions require a deposit or prepayment to hold the reservation.

Private Consultations are an economical way of deciding if hypnosis is an appropriate strategy for achieving the change you desire. Also, we’ll have the opportunity to determine if I am the right hypnotist for you. Whether conducted by phone, online via zoom or in person, last up to 45 minutes and a $25 fee applies. If we schedule to work together within three days of that consultation, the $25 fee will be applied to our work together making the consultation free.

Initial sessions are two hours long. Subsequent sessions last between 60 and 90 minutes.

Prepaid Packages

Prepaid packages are offered for specific protocols. Non-refundable, prepayment is required for these protocols because they often take time and a certain amount of “skin-in-the-game” commitment. The number of sessions indicated represents the number common among prior clients. Prepackages come with extra services and benefits that render them more demanding of my time between sessions and may often require longer time in each session.

Sessions normally take place one or two weeks apart. While we may agree to extend the time between sessions to three weeks or four weeks for longer programs, any gap in sessions lasting more than a calendar month forfeits a session from the package.

Multi-session packages indicate the minimum number of sessions commonly required to reach a goal. Because we are not “treating” a problem but working together to achieve an objective, and, because individuals present unique conditions and circumstances, it is impossible for me to know with certainty how many sessions you will require.

For your protection. Commitment to a prepaid package is not required until the end of the first session. If you decide at the end of our first session that you prefer not to continue with a program, you simply pay for the single session, and we are finished, no harm, no foul. If you choose to move forward with a program, a non-refundable prepayment is required.

Discounted Multi-Session Packages

I offer discounted multi-session packages for those who want them, usually for the client’s convenience. These packages follow a use-them-or-lose-them modality. I don’t make partial refunds on unused sessions. If more than a calendar month passes between sessions, the client forfeits a session. These packages can be paid in two monthly installments of 50% each. These may not be applied to the above-described packages as the above require more out-of-session work on my part. These packages can apply only to what might be described as session-by-session work.

Three-Session Package: $647 (more than a 10% discount.)

Five-Session Package: $997 (more than a 15% discount)

Payment Options

Full Payment is due at the time of service in either cash or by credit card. I do not accept checks. A non-refundable deposit to hold session reservations is required. Sessions held online must be prepaid.

Prepaid packages: The first session can be applied to the cost of the package provided the first session is included in the number of sessions. Price can be broken up into three monthly installments.

Discounted Multi-Session Packages: Payable in two monthly installments of 50%.

I do not process insurance claims. Some health plans will cover hypnotherapy, but usually when it is part of a physician's prescription.  I can provide a statement with appropriate codes for reimbursement after our work is completed.

Health Savings Accounts or Flexible Spending Accounts. You may be able to receive reimbursement from a health savings account to pay for hypnotherapy services, especially if you are seeking smoking cessation or weight loss. Check with your plan administrator.

PWYC stands for Pay What You Can. 

I offer a limited number of weekly sessions under a program called PWYC or Pay What You Can. This enables me to offer services to those who cannot afford quality clinical hypnosis. I describe the program in detail in the Terms and Conditions document which is available as a PDF. Please read it if your financial situation would prohibit our working together.

Guarantees & Refunds

I cannot guarantee results. The more you do what I instruct you to do between sessions, the greater your chance of success. I’m not a magician. We are in partnership toward your success.

I do not ever offer refunds for completed sessions, nor do I offer refunds for unfulfilled prepurchased sessions. I do offer prorated refunds for multi-session packages if I determine that we are not being productive and if I terminate the agreement.
