OTHER FEES:

MISSED APPOINTMENT FEES:

It is the policy of Longleaf Counseling & Collaboration, PLLC to charge the full session fee for missed sessions and sessions not rescheduled more than 48 business hours prior to the appointment time. Should you have a recurring appointment time with us, and miss 2 consecutive sessions without rescheduling prior than 24 hours in advance, your recurring appointment time will be cancelled.

COURT FEES:

If the presence of your provider is required in court, a deposit fee will be required as noted in your intake paperwork, a fee of $300.00 per hour for testimony, (with a 1-hour minimum charge) and an automatic 1- hour prep session fee is payable prior to the court date ($300.o0). This includes your provider’s physical presence and standby phone testimony. Please understand that should you become involved in legal proceedings, this will be discussed with your provider as this could result in termination of therapy services due to confidentiality disclosures potentially impacting the therapeutic relationship.

For interest in Longleaf’s expert witness testimony and packages please inquire here as they are different than for established patients due to confidentiality and ethical considerations for established patients.

While one of Longleaf Counseling & Collaborations specialities is victims/survivors of trauma, sexual violence, and child abuse/neglect, and providing expert testimony on trauma, trauma reactions, etc - this is a different service and is highly discouraged for established therapy patients to protect confidentiality. There is additional information regarding this in our new patient paperwork and our expert witness contracts with different agencies, practices, and law offices.

Longleaf Counseling and Collaboration, PLLC will not provide custody evaluations nor custody recommendations. We will refer to a high custody evaluation or mediator referral within our referral network and would be happy to work collaboratively with them.

ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATION:

On occasions when communication with you or on your behalf occurs outside of the normal counseling session, there is a prorated hourly fee ($150/hr) whenever that communication or work exceeds 10 minutes. Thus, Longleaf Counseling & Collaboration, PLLC may charge a prorated fee for coordination of care communications including - completing additional assessments, emails, phone calls, phone meetings, letters, paperwork, and/or in-person or virtual meetings with other care providers.
