Fees & Policies
-
Your initial consultation with me will take approximately 75 minutes (1½ clinical hours). I feel it’s important during that first session to see if we’re a “good fit”… before beginning the therapy process! The longer session gives us the chance to get to know one another and for you to start to understand my counseling style. During the first session we’ll also review some necessary paperwork, as well as begin discussing your background, goals and expectations for therapy.
After the initial consultation, each session will last approximately 50 minutes (1 clinical hour) unless more time is requested. Sessions can be scheduled for up to 3 hours at a time to accomodate busy schedules or tackle tougher issues in one day rather than multiple sessions.
Our time together will focus on the treatment plan that we’ll co-create for you over the course of the first few therapy sessions.
-
My fee for the initial seventy-five-minute consultation is $325.
Each subsequent fifty-minute counseling session for individuals, couples or families is $225.
A typical therapy session is based on an industry-standard fifty-minute clinical hour. Payment for each session is due at the beginning of that counseling session.
-
I currently accept cash, checks and credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover & American Express). All checks should be made payable to Jennifer Meyer.
I do not accept insurance or work with any insurance companies directly and am considered “out of network” with all insurance companies / plans.
-
Please contact me at least 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment time to reschedule or cancel your appointment. “No shows” or changes made within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment time will result in you being charged the full-session fee, as that prevents me from booking other appointments during that time.
I’ll respect plans I make with you, and hope that you’ll respect my time as well. Mutual respect is the basis of a successful therapeutic relationship.
-
I provide non-emergency counseling services by appointment only. I do not provide 24-hour emergency assistance. If you feel you are having a true emergency, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
I am typically available for appointments in my south Denver office location Monday through Wednesday.
While my voicemail and email are confidential, due to the nature of modern communications I cannot guarantee complete confidentiality over a phone line or through email correspondence. Please be brief with the information you provide via voicemail or email. I will return phone calls and emails as promptly as possible during my regular business hours. E-mail is the best way to contact me.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-877-696-6775.
