PAYMENT METHODS
To preserve our full focus on therapeutic treatment, The Sex Therapy Institute does not accept insurance for our services.
We can provide a detailed billing statement on request for clients who wish to file with their insurance company.
Credit card payment in advance is required for New Client Intake sessions.
Later sessions can be paid by cash, personal check, or credit card.
CANCELLATION POLICY
At least 24 hours’ notice is required to cancel without payment.
All appointments for new client and standard sessions that are cancelled less than 24 hours from the appointment time will charged the full rate.
A cancelled session can be rescheduled at a later date.
New Client Intake Sessions
In a 90-minute intake session with new clients, Dr. Threadgill will note the sexual issues and concerns that led you to pursue sex therapy, and gather details of your medical, sexual, and relational history. This session is an opportunity to communicate and build rapport as therapist and client, which can be so important as the work of therapy begins.
In an individual session scheduled after the intake appointment, Dr. Threadgill will discuss the therapeutic treatment intervention that in her professional opinion will best address your unique needs. If the client and therapist mutually agree to enter into a therapeutic relationship, treatment sessions will be scheduled weekly or at regular intervals, and the work begins.
If the therapist finds that a client might benefit from specialized treatment, referrals will be provided.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy sessions are typically 60 minutes. At the therapist’s discretion, 30-minute or 90-minute sessions may be scheduled to accommodate special circumstances.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy begins with a separate 90-minute New Patient Intake session for each individual. Following intake, we schedule weekly 60-minute couples sessions or bi-weekly 120-minute couples sessions.
Some couples find that as their relationship strengthens, scheduling a three-hour Intensive Couples Therapy session to make focused progress on an issue can be highly beneficial.
