Finances

The fee for each Prepare-Enrich (50 minutes) Session is $180. Sessions that go over the allotted time will incur a prorated cost of $45 per 15-minute increments.

Payment for Prepare-Enrich sessions can be made by cash or credit at the start of each Session. Unfortunately, premarital counseling is not billable to most insurance companies. Generally, only a few insurance companies cover marriage counseling, and to bill insurance for marriage counseling, services must be deemed medically necessary. If you require more information about insurance billing for premarital counseling, I encourage you to contact your insurance company directly regarding coverage details.

Prepare-Enrich is designed to be completed in 4-8 sessions depending on the couple’s needs. Once the desired number of sessions has been established, couples will be scheduled accordingly with a target completion date; if the couple does not finish their sessions by the targeted completion date, a two-week grace period will be given. Once the grace period ends, the remaining sessions will have an additional fee of $25 each attached to each Session. After completing the agreed-upon sessions, if you would like to continue services as a couple or as an individual, a new intake for individual or couple’s therapy would be necessary. The assessment for Prepare-Enrich cannot be used in place of intake for therapy services.  Prepare-Enrich requires that both individuals complete an assessment. The assessment fee is set by Prepare-Enrich and will be paid directly by you to Prepare-Enrich. This fee will be requested from the first person to log in to the Prepare-Enrich assessment. No other fees will be paid to Prepare-Enrich directly.

Cancellation Policy

When you schedule a session, that 50-minute time is held for you. If you are unable to keep your scheduled appointment for any reason, please notify me by voice mail, e-mail, or text message at least 24 hours before the time of your appointment. There will be no charge for appointments canceled 24 hours or more in advance. A fee of $180.00 will be charged for appointments canceled for any reason less than 24 hours in advance. This policy also applies to missed appointments. This fee will be charged automatically to the card on file.

In addition, you are required to contact the facilitator to schedule your next appointment. If you have a standing appointment, you will remain on the calendar for your next standing appointment unless you contact your facilitator to make alternative arrangements. If you miss your next standing appointment, another $180 fee will be charged, and you will be removed from the calendar. If you have a standing appointment and are removed from the calendar, that standing appointment will be made available to other clients. After three (3) canceled or missed appointments (with or without notice), within 45 days, you will be discharged from services. Re-engagement will be at the facilitator’s discretion.

Other Matters

Prepare-Enrich sessions are a time to explore and identify key areas of importance in our lives and how you come together as a couple. Confidentiality from both parties is key to building trust. For this reason, I cannot provide this service if either partner is absent from the Session. If you become “stuck” between sessions, please note this for our next scheduled Session. To build upon honesty, I will not engage in conversations or sessions with either partner regarding Prepare-Enrich work.

Domestic Violence/Abusive relationships

Prepare-Enrich is not a program to end abusive relationships. However, if you or your partner indicates there has been violence or abuse, a discussion will be had about what appropriate steps to take next. If you need help, please contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline (800) 799-7233.
