For Couples/Family sessions: I do not accept insurance or provide superbills for couples or family therapy. I am happy to discuss any related questions you may have.
Do you offer faith-based therapy?
No. My approach to our work is entirely secular. Clients are never discouraged from self-incorporation of their own faith in our discussions, but my contribution to our work is independent from religious and spiritual belief.
What is your Private Pay fee (without insurance)?
An initial 30 minute consultation will be conducted free of charge before a first session is scheduled. This will allow you to give me a brief overview of what you’re looking for and help us decide if we are well-matched for working together.
$175/session for individual sessions (~55 mins), and $215/session for couples. Cancelation of a scheduled appointment with less than 24 hours prior notice will result in a full-fee charge for that appointment if you are unable to reschedule in an available slot within the same calendar week.
Do you offer sliding-scale fee options?
All sliding scale availability is full at this time. I will update the website as these slots open back up.
Is this a Group Practice?
No. Collaborative Psychotherapy is a solo private practice owned and operated entirely by Megan Foreman, LCSW/LICSW. Group practices employ multiple clinicians of varying licensing levels and are owned either by a clinical leader or corporate entity. Because of this, clients may be referred to a therapist based on availability and financial ability rather than best clinical fit. Employees of these group practices often have unreasonably large caseloads assigned by the practice owner and have limitations on their ability to make clinical and administrative decisions without leadership approval. As a result, clients can be paired with overworked therapists who face pressure to work long hours in an effort to meet supervised hour/licensing requirements and administrative quotas, which compromises quality of care. I am an independently licensed clinician with nearly two decades of clinical experience in both community mental health and federal healthcare environments. I do not supervise or employ additional therapists or administrative/support staff, so all clinical and operational decisions are made entirely by me. Because all communications come directly to me, I am able to be highly responsive to emails/texts from clients/potential clients during business hours. I make my own schedule and take only as many clients as I am comfortably able to see and only those clients with which I can most effectively collaborate.
How often will I have appointments with you?
Each treatment plan is unique. Frequency will be a discussion focused on your best interests and clinical indication. In most cases, I recommend weekly appointments until progressive momentum is established, at which time we can discuss decreasing frequency of sessions.
What is your favorite food?
Chicken nuggets. Or cheese pizza. Thank you for asking.
