Fee Schedule

The costs for counseling sessions vary and are based on my sliding fee schedule. A sliding fee schedule means that you pay what you can afford based on income and family size. This typically ranges from $70-$100 for a traditional 50 minute session. If you wish to pay less than the normal $100 fee you will be asked to provide last year's tax return and together we will decide what rate works best for you. If your financial situation changes for the better or worse during our work together, please let me know so we can adjust your rate accordingly. (Chart below has not been updated with 2013 rate changes.)

Please add $30 for your initial session ONLY

While phone sessions are not the norm, they may occur from time to time in the case of a crisis. Phone sessions are subject to the same sliding fee schedule as mentioned above. Phone sessions will be billed and due upon receipt.

There are fees for special services. These fees include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Preparation for any reports, forms, or other administrative requests. (established hourly fee for service)
2. If I participate in a legal case, regardless of which party’s attorney calls or subpoenas me, fees include but are not limited to testimony, time for travel, waiting in the courtroom, telephone conferences, depositions and review notes. In addition, you are responsible for any fees that I incur by your attorney. (established hourly fee for service)
3. Finally, the above established fee per session will be charged for face to face consultations held on your behalf with other professionals/agencies. (established hourly fee for service)

Cancelling or rescheduling your appointment is easy. However, you will be responsible for the entire cost of a session-based on your agreed upon rate- when cancelled in less than 24 hours, not including emergencies. Please note, insurances do not cover for missed sessions- thereofore, you will be charged and soley responsible for the $70 session fee. 

Fees are to be paid in full the day of your session. I prefer to collect the session fee at the beginning of the session, as it makes the process of ending smoother. If you are paying by check, please have your check already made out prior to our session. 

Cash, checks, money orders, cashiers check, and credit cards are accepted. If you are paying with check, please have your check already prepared and ready before your session starts. Please make your checks out to: Jessica Anne Deeb, LCSW, LLC. Bounced checks will be subject to a $50 fee due at the time of receipt. If you a paying by credit card at my Tampa office, I will need to gather your credit card information to keep on file so that I can run your information the next business day at my New Port Richey location which is set up for credit cards.

Each year, there will be a potential $5 increase in your rate of cost per session to cover my yearly increase of expenses. We will discuss this together before any changes to your fee are arranged.
