Rates are based on a 50 minute "therapeutic hour" and currently are $150 per session.  Most sessions will last around 50 minutes, but some types of sessions are more appropriate longer.  These may include family sessions or couple sessions.  Sessions which are clinically indicated to be 90 minutes long will be charged at $190 per session.  The appropriate length of time for your sessions will be discussed during your initial visit.  Payment is expected at the time of service and is accepted by cash, checks, mastercard, or visa.  If financial resources are limited at this time, therapy may still be an option.  Research has shown that even short-term therapy (as little as 6 sessions) can significantly improve functioning.

        Individual

        Family

Using your Insurance to Pay for Service

If you would like to use your insurance benefits, please contact your insurance company to determine if you have any "out- of - network" benefits.  The fee for your session will still be expected at the time of service, but you are welcome to bill your insurance company for sessions in order to be reimbursed by your insurance company.  Dr. McFarland can provide you with the needed documentation to submit to your insurance company.  However, most insurance companies require a diagnosis in order to reimburse services.  Depending on the insurance company, only specific diagnosis may be covered and once an insurance company has your diagnosis it may be kept on your permanent record and be considered a "pre-existing" condition.  Some insurance companies also limit the number of sessions that they will pay for per calendar year.
