Fee Schedule

Play Therapy is a short-term investment with long-lasting impact. Here’s an overview of what to expect when it comes to cost. If finances are a barrier right now, please reach out.

  • (60–90 mins via Zoom)
    $180/hr

    Before starting therapy, we’ll meet (without your child present) for an intake discussion via Zoom. This is a chance for me to get to know your child’s history, challenges, and strengths, and for you to ask any questions about the therapy process. We’ll also talk about your hopes for therapy and what to expect in sessions.

  • (45 min play session + 15 min notes/prep)
    $180

    Play Therapy sessions are typically held weekly at the same time each week, creating a predictable rhythm that helps your child feel safe and supported. Each session is 45 minutes, with additional time before and after for clinical preparation and case-noting.

    At the start of each session, you'll be welcomed in the waiting area while your child and I head into the playroom together.

  • (45 mins via Zoom)
    $180
    Additional time: $30 per 15-minute increment

    Every 6–7 weeks, we’ll meet for a parent-only session to reflect on your child’s progress and touch base about how things are going. These regular check-ins are an important part of the therapy process, helping us stay connected, aligned, and working together to support your child’s growth.

    We’ll talk about what’s emerging in sessions, any changes you’ve noticed at home, and ways you can continue nurturing your child’s emotional development in everyday life.

  • $180 / hour

    (minimum 2 hours)

  • $180/hour (charged in 10-minute increments)

    *Travel fees may apply
