FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which therapy approaches do you use?

I focus on approaches that help you heal at a deeper level — beyond just “talking about it.” I draw from evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches, including:

How much is a session and do you offer a sliding scale?

For cash rate clients, we charge $160 for each 50-minute individual session and $200 for each 50-minute couples session.

Group and EMDR Intensive Sessions vary based on timing, availability and objectives – contact us for a quote.  

We do accept some forms of Insurance – see below for more details. 

How long until I feel progress?

It depends. Every person and every trauma and experience is different. Some people feel relief after a few months, others may work longer to fully heal and integrate their experiences. Together, we’ll regularly review your goals and progress.

Do you accept Insurance?

Friedman Gilbert Therapy is in network in Texas with Aetna.  We recommend you call your insurance company and confirm that Marissa Gilbert at Friedman Gilbert Therapy is in network with your individual plan.  At that time, we suggest the insurance company check your benefits for individual, couples or group therapy and ask for what your deductible and/or copay will be.

If you have a different insurance plan, we can provide you with a superbill which you can submit for reimbursement directly to your insurance company.  You will have to submit to them and have the superbill processed in order to know how much they will reimburse.  

We also accept private pay – our cash rate is $160/session for individual therapy, and $200/session for couples therapy.  Group rates and EMDR intensives vary based on timing, availability and objectives – please inquire and we can provide you with a quote.

We are out-of-network for Medicare and Medicaid.

Which payments do you accept?

We currently accept Venmo and most major forms of credit card payment through our client portal.  Full payment is expected at the time of your session.

Do you charge a late fee?

We try to be fair in understanding that life happens and you can’t always make an appointment, but last minute cancelations prohibit us from seeing others who are also in need.  

Missing your scheduled appointment will result in a full session fee unless you cancel at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the appointment time.

In emergency situations, please immediately contact me and if the situation is determined to be dire, this fee will be waived. This fee cannot be waived more than twice.
