WHAT ARE THE FEES AND POLICIES? 
 

When you can’t see straight ahead,

it’s because you are about to turn a corner.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

Dr. Van Tuyl’s fee is mid-range for private practice therapy in the Bay Area.  It is her policy to disclose her fee at the start of the initial interview.  She is willing to negotiate a reduced fee for clients in financial hardship. 

WHAT IF IT IS BEST NOT TO WORK TOGETHER ?

Dr. Van Tuyl encourages clients to get a sense of what it would be like to work together during the first session.  Should a client decide not to continue counseling with Dr. Van Tuyl or if it appears to her that a client would be better served by someone else, appropriate referrals will be provided.

WHAT KIND OF INSURANCE IS ACCEPTED?

At this time, Dr. Van Tuyl only accepts Blue Cross insurance.  Many other managed care contracts are too restrictive and not compatible with the kind of work she does best.  She provides her clients monthly statements for reimbursement from insurance plans that cover out-of-network psychotherapy services.
