Let’s Talk Money

How much does this cost?

It seems that no matter where on my website I have placed the cost of my services, people have trouble finding it.  (Right now, costs are mentioned under each modality.) I thought it would be a good idea to lay out the question of dollar cost to make it easier to find.

However, I don’t think that numbers tell the whole story. The actual cost of the service really ought to be compared with what you’re getting in exchange for payment.  My intention is that if you work with me, you receive good value and not just a financial bargain.

NEUROFEEDBACK

What you get:

  • The opportunity to work with a person who is among the most experienced in Northern Virginia. I’ve been doing neurofeedback for close to 20 years, and there are only a few of us in the area who have dedicated that much time to their craft. You get solid knowledge and skills, personalized and customized to your specific needs and wants.
  • A good environment. There are no white coats to scare you or give you high blood pressure in my office—the emphasis is on calming and relaxation. Sure, the science and technology are there, but my EEG device, HEG gear, and other equipment are purposely kept low-key. The vibe is good for stressed-out and anxious people to come make transformations peacefully.
  • Enough time in training sessions. I train for a solid hour. That hour involves set up and checking in on progress made, 40 minutes or more of actual brain training, and clean up. I’m not a big believer in 20 minutes of training being enough (though of course for children and those with neurodivergence, 20 minutes may be the maximum tolerable; I customize rather than bulldoze through).

The cost:

I begin with a brain map (called a Trainers’ QEEG) most of the time. That is $345. Individual sessions are $140. Insurance does not cover my services, but HSAs usually do. I typically charge 10 sessions in advance to keep bookkeeping overhead at a minimum, but I vary from that plan to help when requested—it’s one of the flexibilities that come from being in charge.

Because neurofeedback is a financial commitment, I do offer payment plans without interest for those who need other payment arrangements.

HYPNOSIS

What you get:

  • In-person or online sessions. I’m certified in both. You have the luxury of making change from the peace of your own home if that’s what you prefer, or experiencing quiet and privacy in my office. It’s your choice!
  • Structured experience, customized for you. I’m trained in 5-PATH hypnosis, which is a way of structuring sessions to get big- and long-term changes in just 4-6 sessions. I bring creativity and experience to sessions so that the structure works for you.
  • Appointments are scheduled for two hours. Not every appointment lasts that long—sometimes we’re finished in about an hour—but I set aside two full hours in case your needs require a bit more. Like everything else, it’s customized for you. And, this way, you know you’ll get everything done without feeling like you’re being rushed out the door.

The cost:

 $275 per session, each payable 24 hours in advance.

ACCESS BARS

What you get:

One hour of an internationally known, phenomenally relaxing session that provides touch to 32 points on the scalp.

The cost:

$145 per session, payable 24 hours in advance.
