Cost, Insurance, and FAQs
How long are sessions?
Standard appointments are 45-minutes, but we offer sessions up to 3 hours in length for those who want longer or more intensive treatment options. Couples and family sessions are typically between 90 minutes and 3 hours depending on the need. For ISTDP treatment, the standard intake is 3 hours and follow up sessions are usually 90 minutes.
What types of payment can I use?
We accept cash, check, and all major credit and debit cards, and we require payment at the time of service. You can submit card information with your online intake paperwork and your card will be automatically billed when you come for a session. If you are seeking reimbursement from insurance, they will reimburse you directly once they process your claim.
What do sessions cost?
Dr. Jarvinen’s fee is $275 per 45-minute session. Longer sessions are prorated at this rate (e.g., 90-minute sessions are $550 and 3 hour sessions are $1100). Other therapists are able to offer lower-fee options (e.g., $190) and have a limited number of sliding scale appointments for those experiencing financial hardship. Feel free to inquire about availability.
Where do I park?
To get to our suite, you turn off Saxony where it says Encinitas Corporate Center, and drive to the building in the back parking lot (169). There is free parking all around the building, but the best place to enter the building is from the northwest corner.
Do you accept insurance?
We are not in-network with any insurance providers. We can, however, provide monthly superbills which have the billing information needed to submit to your insurance if you have out-of-network mental health benefits. Contact us or click here for more information about how to determine your ultimate out-of-pocket cost when using out-of-network benefits. .
How do I get to your suite?
Once you enter the main entrance of the building at the northwest corner, you can take the elevator on the right to the 2nd floor. Turn right out of the elevator towards the courtyard and then go left. Our suite is #205 and is about halfway around the courtyard. Feel free to wait in the waiting room and we will come out to get you when we are ready.
