15-Minute Consultation – Always free and conducted via telephone.

Schedule a consultation for questions not answered on our website, to see if we would be a good fit for each other, or to schedule an intake.

Initial Intake Session – $225-$275

Prior to your initial session, you will receive an email asking you to complete information about your symptoms and history. This helps your clinician get to know you and to begin assessing your treatment needs.

Initial sessions last between 70 and 90 minutes. During this first appointment, your clinician will review our practice policies, including information related to confidentiality of the information you disclose.

Your clinician will also review the documents you completed prior to the session and ask additional questions for clarification of your history and the issues bringing you to treatment at this time.

Within the first two sessions, your clinician will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan which includes your specific goals and the steps you will take to achieve them.

50-Minute Session - $150-$200

The most common structure for treatment is weekly 50-minute sessions. Sessions can be held in person or via telehealth (on our HIPPA compliant portal). Bi-weekly sessions, extended sessions and/or multiple sessions per week may also be available, based on your needs.

Out of Office/In Home Sessions – Cost Varies

We understand that effective treatment for OCD and anxiety disorders may need to incorporate sessions outside of the office. Our clinicians can meet clients in the community, at their homes or wherever is most appropriate for their treatment goals. At the initial intake, or during treatment, you and your clinician can decide whether out of office sessions are needed. Costs will vary depending on the amount of time and travel involved.

Please view clinician pages for each clinician’s individual fees. Fees vary based on experience and are the same whether session was in person or Telehealth. Only in home sessions vary depending on total travel time.

Prior to your initial session, you will be asked to input payment information into our secure client portal. This must be completed to reserve your intake session. For subsequent sessions, payment is required at the time of service.

We accept all major debit and credit cards, as well as checks, cash, and HSA/FSA cards. If you choose to keep a credit card on file, it will be automatically charged after each session. If you are paying with cash or check, please remember to bring payment with you to each session.

We are a specialized practice that values flexibility, privacy, and the highest quality treatment tailored to each client’s needs. Because of this, we have chosen not to participate in insurance networks. This allows us the freedom to provide treatment based on your clinical needs and not on an insurance company’s willingness to pay. We know that the constraints put upon treatment by insurance companies can limit how quickly you can begin treatment as well as the frequency, duration and setting of your sessions. We also value your privacy, and do not want to share your personal clinical information with your insurance company.

Although we do not work with insurance companies, you may be eligible for reimbursement if you have out of network mental health coverage. We can provide you with a “Superbill” containing the information frequently requested for out of network reimbursement.

We encourage you to reach out to your insurance company to find out if your policy includes this benefit. You may also want to ask about the amount covered per session and the procedures for receiving reimbursement.

Please understand that we are a private pay practice and sessions are by appointment only. We often have a waiting list of clients seeking treatment and when an appointment is canceled without sufficient notice, we are unable to offer that time slot to another client.

We will do our best to accommodate sessions that need to be canceled or rescheduled prior to 24 hours before the appointment time. However, any cancelations made with less than 24 hour’s notice will be charged the full session rate.

If you need to cancel or reschedule your session, please email your clinician directly or call our office at 813-773-5807 to leave a voicemail message.

Phone consultations are offered free of charge to anyone that requests one. When you schedule a phone consultation you will receive a link to the patient portal where you will be asked to read and sign a few documents including: a consultation acknowledgement form, Practice Policies, Privacy Practices, and demographic form. A phone consultation is not an intake session and is limited to 15-minutes. The clinician you scheduled your consult with will call you at the phone number you provided. Please double-check that the number you provided is correct and that it is the best number to reach you at. Be prepared with questions and to share what you are struggling with in order for us to determine if you would benefit from treatment with Anxiety Center of Tampa. If you decide to move forward with services, the clinician you consulted with can either schedule you themselves or can connect you with one of our other clinicians for scheduling. Please refer to our clinician page for more information on each of our clinicians, including the population they work with and their fees for service. If you aren’t able to answer our call at your scheduled consultation time, we will leave a voicemail and reach out to you via email. You can also follow your initial confirmation email to cancel a consultation that you have scheduled.
