How My Practice Is Funded

My services are not supported by any governmental, ecclesiastical, or non-profit agency.

I am on a "fee for service" basis only.

I seek to serve my clients in the most professional, efficient, and confidential manner possible. 

Basically, I work for my clients by the hour as an individual professional and, in doing so,

I maximize quality, confidentiality, and personal contact, but minimize cost, overhead, and service time.

All services are scheduled by appointment only.

 

 

PLEASE TEXT ME WITH YOUR MOST CONVENIENT

  OR DESIRED TIME AND DATE FOR AN APPOINTMENT

 

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE WILL BE HAVING OUR MEETINGS THROUGH EITHER:

(a)     VIRTUAL TELEHEALTH INTERNET CONTACT (doxy.me/jerusalem)

 (b)      FACETIME THROUGH AUDIO/VISUAL CELL PHONE

(c)  AUDIO ONLY THROUGH CELL PHONE  or

(d) 'CHAT' ie MUTUAL real time  CONTACT THROUGH MESSAGING  

 

 

FEES 

 

I offer two ways to pay for sessions

 

(*)My Primary  method of receiving  fees

for my for services is negotiated on the

first session based on a sliding scale

structure, and on ability to pay, calculated on the 

annual gross family income

as reported on the IRS 1040 

      with a minimum of 60.00$  

      and a maximum of 100$ per session.

(*)Usually the fee is Payable through

Credit Card, which I have found  is the

most efficient and preferred method of payment.

(*) Also if you find a need to do so, you

may opt to pay by Cash or Check by

mail to my office at

 

17811 Kyle Seale Pkwy, Box 38

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS  78255

 

If you request it, once I have received

payment,  I am willing to send you a receipt

which you can send to your insurance company

to either help satisfy your copay or deductible,

or be reimbursed by them to you. 

 

(*)  The second way to deal with fees is 

through an "Employee Assistance Program"

funded by your employer.

There is no cost to you for these EAP sessions

and my fees for service are satisfied by your

employer directly to me.  

You would need to contact the Human Resources

Office at your work to ask about this benefit.

The EAP is a short term, solution-oriented

psychotherapy. Most employers limit the number

of visits.  

 

 

(*)I do charge  25$ fee for a non-emergency

"No Show"or a "Late Cancel"; but of course

there is no charge for emergencies or

for the unexpected demands of your work site.  

 

.

(*)Before the first session I ask

new clients to text me pictures of their

    (1) Texas Drivers License and

    (2) Health Insurance card (front and back)

    (3) The email address and preferred

          phone numbers.

(*) As a safety measure, I prefer not to have

 pictures of credit cards conveyed by texts or

computers. 

(My practice is to write down the Credit Card

numbers in real time as you give the information 

to me over the phone.) 

I keep  those numbers and all of your other

records and  information,  both on paper

and electronic,  strictly confidential and

stored securely securely locked as  is required

by state law.

Your file and the information in

it may only be released

by your hand written signature only.
