What’s the cost?

My fee is $195 for a 50 minute therapy session. Some couples sessions are longer than 50 minutes. This is agreed upon in advance between myself and the couple, and the cost is prorated based on the length of the session at the $195/hr rate. I do offer a limited number of reduced fee services for individuals who have financial barriers and are willing to commit to six months of weekly sessions. 

Do you take insurance?

I am a contracted provider with Lyra EAP. I am currently not in-network with any other insurance. Many insurance companies will reimburse individuals for a percentage of the cost of treatment with an out-of-network provider. I am happy to provide you with an invoice that includes your payment history if you are interested in pursuing reimbursement. Questions about reimbursement are best addressed to your insurance provider as policies differ widely between companies, but I am happy to provide support and guidance to help you navigate and inform yourself about your insurance company’s benefits.

How do I get started?

Whether you are just considering treatment or have decided that you would like to begin therapy,  I am happy to set up a 20-minute phone consultation. These conversations provide the opportunity for you to gain a better feel for my approach to treatment and ask any questions you may have. Consultations are also a good time for us to discuss what is leading you to seek therapy and talk through potential treatment options.  To set up a consultation, feel free to contact me via telephone (970-283-7711) or email (ashleyboyntonphd@gmail.com). 

How often do I come and how long will treatment last?

I find that weekly therapy best meets the needs of most individuals and couples with whom I work. The length of treatment varies widely depending on the concerns that individuals are facing. If the problem developed relatively recently and is more limited in scope, for example difficulty transitioning to a new job, then you may anticipate a shorter course of treatment. If problems are long-standing and affect several areas of functioning, then it is likely a treatment that spans a year or more will be most effective in providing long-term solutions.
