PLEASE NOTE:
At this time, I do not have INN slots available. Please inquire about your OON coverage - I am able to provide OON superbills at the end of each month to support reimbursement.
Currently, I am not able to offer low sliding scale (<$200) or pro bono services to new clients, as my current lower sliding scale caseload is full. I am able to offer a higher leaning sliding scale option to those who are looking to work with me.
If you cannot afford my private pay fees, but you feel we are a good fit, please feel free to inquire about working out an arrangement for payment so that you and I can commit to the process, while also feeling comfortable. I know how important that is and I will do my best to help you to find an affordable option.
I accept Zelle (Lorin.kay@gmail.com), Cash (when in person), or Checks (mailed to my address).
My rates reflect my level of experience, with more than 14 years in clinical practice, as well as the local market in this area. They are consistent with those of other seasoned practitioners and support my ability to provide thoughtful, highly individualized care and dedicated attention to each person that commits to doing this work.
What Your Fee Includes (My Commitment To You)
Your fee includes:
Treatment based texting within appropriate hours of the day.
Phone calls in between scheduled check that are under 10 minutes.
Email correspondence as appropriate.
Phone Calls/Texting Guidlines:
I encourage clients to call only during your scheduled sessions. Should you need anything out of the ordinary in-between sessions, I ask clients to send me a text (phone number to be provided during intake) to set up a brief phone call to address concerns, questions, and/or check ins. Anything under 10 minutes is always no charge.
Because I am not available around the clock, I might not be able to answer your call without us scheduling something first, but please know I will get back to you at my earliest convenience.
Writing a Report, A Treatment Summary or Letter to an Outside Party:
The cost of producing a report, treatment summary, or a letter is at the discretion of this provider and is based on prep time, length, and the nature of the report, letter and/or treatment plan. Additionally, before the disclosure of information, be that verbal or written, a Release of Information Consent must be signed by the client. If the client is a minor, then the legal guardian of the client must sign the Consent Form. Any and all charges will be discussed with the client beforehand.
Advocacy and Working as an Interdisciplinary Team:
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I feel it is part of my responsibility to make referrals and advocate for a client as needed (Ex; with another clinician, a Doctor, a school or University, a Hospital, a Residential-Inpatient program, etc.). However, should this become a recurring event, phone calls and/or meetings over 15 minutes are subject to be charged. Any and all charges will be discussed with the client beforehand.
Policies - Rescheduling and/or Canceling
Please note that Lori has a 48 hour cancellation policy.
All appointments rescheduled and/or cancelled with less than 48 hours' notice will be charged the full fee. The only exception made to waive this fee is in the event of a serious illness or an emergency. If a client has more than three cancellations in a short time frame, they may be subject to termination of treatment.
