Megan Cser Smith, Ph.D.

In the first session, I ask questions to better understand my client’s background and what brought them to therapy. It is also important for me to understand what my client wishes to get out of therapy and why that is important to them. In the following sessions, I work with my client to reach their objectives. Depending on each client’s concerns and goals, therapy can be more or less structured. Please see my Resources page if you would like to learn more about the therapies I offer. 

Sessions typically occur once a week. This provides adequate momentum for progress in therapy while also giving clients time to process and apply what they are learning between sessions. 

My session fees are $250 for individuals and $275 for couples. I offer a limited number of slots on a sliding fee scale based on financial need. Please note, you have rights to receive a Good Faith Estimate. 

I accept payment by cash, check, debit, and credit card. Payment is due at time of service. I require a current card be on file in case of late cancellation or no show.

Yes, I can provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance provider for out-of-network reimbursement through your insurance plan. It is advisable to check your plan and/or call your insurance company to verify your deductible and coverage for out-of-network mental health care.

I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, you will be charged the session fee. No shows are also charged the session fee. 

I offer both in-person and telemental health sessions. Telemental health appointments are provided through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform.
