NOTIFICATION OF RATE INCREASE
We hope you are doing well. We have been honored to work with you over this year and we look forward to continuing that into the New Year.

As we move into 2024, we would like to make you aware of all upcoming changes to our policies going forward.

As we all know, inflation has been something that has impacted so many industries and ours is not immune to that. Due to the cost of inflation, which has impacted the cost of our trainings, certifications, and just overall expenses (utilities, supplies, equipment, etc), we are at a point where we need to increase our rates as well.

Effective January 1, 2024, these are our updated fees for professional services with Realistic Expectations, PLLC:

1 hour session with an LCSW clinician - $225
1 hour session with an LMSW clinician - $160 ($65 discount)
1 hour session with a MSW Intern - $60
Late cancel/no call no show fee - $75

FOR CURRENT CLIENTS
If you are currently seeing a clinician at a reduced self pay rate, the agreed upon fee will remain the same in 2024 and is only subject to change if you and your therapist have discussed/negotiated it, otherwise it will NOT change. If you are currently seeing a clinician at the full $175 self pay rate, for that fee to remain in effect next year please contact your clinician to complete a Financial Accommodation Agreement Form.

If you are paying the current full rate ($175) to be reimbursed by your insurance, your rate will increase to $225 in order to honor insurance contracts.

We will also be reaching out to you later this month to update your consent forms with us. These forms must be completed before December 31, 2023 for you to be seen by your clinician in 2024.

If you have any questions or there is anything else we can do to assist you, please let us know.
