Are you accepting new clients?
Yes, I am accepting new clients at this time.
How do I get started?
Please reach out through the “contact” button at the top right corner of this page. You can also email me at: rachel@drhasper.com. I’m happy to answer any questions as well as schedule a complimentary 15 minute consultation to discuss your needs and goals, tell you about my practice, and help you determine if I could be a good fit for you.
Do you accept insurance?
I’m considered an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance companies directly. If your insurance policy has out of network coverage for psychotherapy, I can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. I can’t guarantee reimbursement and encourage you to speak with your insurance provider first to verify your mental health, out-of-network benefits by asking the following questions:
1. Do I have out of network mental health (or behavioral health) insurance benefits?
2. What is my out of network deductible (if any) and has it been met yet by other medical expenses?
3. What is the coverage amount (or percentage) per therapy session?
Can I use my Health Savings or Flex Spending to pay for session costs?
Yes, HSA and FSA cards will cover the cost of therapy. If needed, I can provide you with an invoice to submit for approval or reimbursement.
What is your fee?
My fee is $250 for a 50 minute therapy session and $375 for a 90 minute session. I also offer intensive half and full-day immersive therapy. I do hold space in my caseload for for clients who request a sliding-scale rate, based on financial need (fee to be collaboratively determined prior to first session).
Are you seeing clients in-person?
No, my practice is virtual. Session options are video or phone, and both have their unique benefits and limitations. I’m happy to chat with you about questions or concerns regarding telehealth therapy.
How often will we meet?
In order to maximize the efficacy of our work together, I suggest that new clients make an inital commitment to attending weekly therapy for the first 4 sessions. This allows us to establish a relationship and build rapport. While many clients continue to meet for a consistent weekly appointment (same day and time), other clients have treatment goals, work/family responsibilites, and budgeting that warrant less frequent meetings; biweekly and monthly sessions are very popular, as they maintain consistency and progress in treatment without making attending therapy sessions a life stressor. There are also times when clients experience more complicated challenges and would like to meet twice a week.
Ultimately, session frequency is unique to each individual and is also fluid, as treatment needs, support, and life demands change over time.
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule our appointment?
I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you need to cancel or reschedule, I kindly request that you provide notice at least 24-hours in advance of your session time, to avoid being charged your full-fee. Clients are able to cancel and reschedule online through their client portal in my HIPAA-compliant software.
What should I do if I'm in crisis?
In case of a medical or clinical emergency, including a threat to your safety or the safety of others, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
