Our Approach

At SMC, therapists practice psychoanalytic psychotherapy. We emphasize the importance of your commitment to therapy, and a mutual effort to maintain the frequency of sessions. This is essential to the ultimate success of your treatment. 

Insurance

At this time, SMC accepts Aetna insurance. Some insurance companies may provide out-of-network benefits for behavioral health services. Please contact your insurance company directly to inquire about their policies and procedures. 

Fees & Payment

Fees at SMC are simple; the fee for the intake and individual appointments are made at end of each session. Our sliding scale begins at $75.

Cancellations

To schedule an appointment requires a commitment from both the patient and therapist. This means the appointment is specifically reserved, and cannot be used for another patient. In order to cancel an appointment, a therapist must be notified 24 hours in advance of the session. If advance notice is not given, or rescheduling is not possible, the fee for the canceled appointment will be charged. In addition, not all holidays warrant cancelation  of appointments; even major holidays should be discussed with your therapist.

Quality Care

At SMC, we strive to provide the highest quality of care for our patients. If additional information is needed or you would like to discuss the policies above, please contact us.
