RATE OF SERVICES

My fee for counseling is $155/clinical hour (50 minutes) and payments are to be made at the beginning of each session.

Please call for a coaching package and education presentation/series details/pricing as each of these is tailored to client goals.

PAYMENT METHODS

Check or credit card. Checks are to be made payable to Synergy Clinic. Fees may increase periodically, and thus fees are subject to change with a one-month prior notification.

INSURANCE

I do not accept insurance, but I can provide an invoice for services that you may submit independently with your insurance company. 

SCHEDULING

Counseling appointments are generally made on a weekly/biweekly basis. 

Coaching appointments are generally made on a biweekly basis. 

Appointments are not automatically held for clients from week to week.

CANCELLATION

Clients may cancel up to 24 hours prior to an appointment.  Cancellations may be made by email to sonya@synergyclinic.or or by text to 615-505-3005.  Clients are responsible for the full session fee if cancellations occur within 24 hours of a session.

CONFIDENTIALITY

You have the right to expect confidentiality within the limits described as follows. There are certain situations in which I am required by law without your permission to reveal information obtained during therapy. These situations are: (a) if you threaten bodily harm or death to yourself or another person; (b) if I am compelled by a court of law; (c) if you reveal information relating to physical abuse, sexual abuse, or neglect of a child or elderly person. With respect to abuse or neglect, I am not permitted to investigate if the information is true or not.  As a “mandatory reporter,” I must report any information.

In addition, I may discuss certain aspects of our sessions in consultation or case presentations with other therapists and helping professionals. Your surnames and other identifying information are not disclosed. Everything discussed in consultation is confidential. The purpose is to aid and enhance our counseling sessions. In addition, for family counseling and couples counseling, I maintain a “no secrets policy.” I believe that secrets hinder the intimacy-building process. Therefore, anything one partner tells me outside the presence of the other partner or discovered outside the counseling office may be discussed with either partner based on my professional judgment.
