Payments for Services
Provided by Dr. Sparrow and his Associates
Prepayment for all sessions is required!
After you complete our New Client Intake Survey, our Practice Manager will contact you and discuss your interests in receiving services from DCS. Depending on who provides services, you will be charged for services according to the following guidelines:
Our practice consists of Dr. Sparrow (Gregory Sparrow, EdD, LPC-S), two fully licensed LPCs, and several LPC-Associates. Our LPC-As are under the supervision of Dr. Sparrow until fully licensed as LPCs, and cannot receive direct payment for their services, so make your payments to Dr. Sparrow's here.
For Private Pay Clients:
- Dr. Sparrow charges $140 an hourly session for his services. ($125 prior to 9/1/22)
- Our fully licensed LPCs charge $125 a session ($100 prior to 10/1/22).
- We charge $60 per session for telehealth services ($50 prior to 10/1/22) rendered by our LPC-Associates. Dr. Sparrow and his LPC-Associates work as a team, and often staff cases together.
All of our therapists ultimately set their own fees, so if you believe you need a discount, please speak with your counselor.
If by chance, we have offered you a need-based discount, please choose the amount from the Copayment payment options below. If the exact amount of the total fee that we have offered is not found, please make two payments that add up to the fee.
For Insurance Clients:
If you have insurance, we must first determine if we work with your insurance company. That’s why it’s necessary for you to fill out our New Client Intake Survey (see menu) before booking. Once we have confirmed that we work with your insurance, and have determined your copayment amount, you can prepay your copayment by choosing one of the copayment amounts below. Obviously, this online prepayment procedure will be necessary for any Zoom videoconferenced appointment, but we prefer if you pay ahead of time regardless, in order to save time for counseling.
Missed Appointment Fees:
If you miss an appointment without providing 24-hour prior notice, we require a payment of $80 (or your counselor's full fee, whichever is less) for any missed appointments. You can pay this fee by choosing the correct amount from the Missed Appointment Fees options below.
Payment Options:
If the exact amount that you owe is not among the payment options, you can pay your exact amount below by entering the name of the service, such as "Therapy with (name of counselor)." Then enter the amount due.
