Fees

Psychotherapy fees are prorated based on $275 per 50 minute session.  If you are an activist, climate researcher, or climate front-line worker, please ask about discounted fees. Dr. Easterlin frequently conducts 75 minute sessions with couples and families. Please note that Dr. Easterlin is not currently accepting referrals of new clients. If you are a former client, please reach out to her via email (barbara@lucasvalley.net) or phone message (415-847-2540).

Insurance

I do not participate in any managed care networks or accept insurance directly. However, many insurance plans provide out-of-network coverage for psychotherapy and assessment services. I will provide an itemized receipt or other documentation with all of the information required to assist with submission of claims for reimbursement. For psychoeducational assessments, Dr. Easterlin has been successful in contracting for "single case agreement" payment when your plan does not list clinicians specifically trained in ADHD or other psychological assessment. Please note that many insurance plans specifically exclude educational evaluations unless they are conducted by a psychologist for the purpose of differential diagnosis. 

If you have an HMO health insurance plan or an EPO health insurance plan, your insurance unfortunately will not cover our services.

I encourage you to check with your insurance company about whether reimbursement is an option for you, as full payment of the fee to which I agree is ultimately your responsibility.  

All fees are qualified medical expenses and reimbursable through a medical expense flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA).
