As is becoming increasingly common for mental health treatment, I am an out-of-network provider. Patients must pay out-of-pocket on the date of service via check, cash, credit card, or HSA/FSA card.
Some insurance companies offer reimbursement. As requested, you can receive the necessary documentation to submit for out-of-network insurance reimbursement. Patients are responsible for submitting their own reimbursements.

A typical course of psychotherapy with one treatment approach lasts between 6–12 treatment sessions. Some approaches are shorter (IRT; about 4 sessions) while others are longer (TLDP; 14-20 sessions).
Individual Psychotherapy Sessions:
16–37 minute ($160).
38–52 minute (most typical; $230).
Standard Intake Session ($400):
38–52 minute interview with feedback.
Self-report assessments of symptoms and functioning (e.g., IDAS-II, PROMIS).
Intake documentation with treatment recommendations.
Comprehensive Psychological Assessment Intake ($950 total cost):
You also have the option to complete a comprehensive psychological assessment at intake. In other clinics, this type of specialized assessment is reserved for patients not responding to treatments and can cost thousands of dollars.
Waiting to do comprehensive assessments is a missed opportunity to reduce treatment trial-and-error. While recommended and priced to be accessible, the comprehensive psychological assessment at intake is optional—you are welcome to start therapy using a standard, 38–52 minute intake described above.
2.5+ hours of face-to-face contact: ~120 minute intake interview, separate 38–52 minute feedback session.
Comprehensive testing of personality and mental health symptoms (e.g., MMPI-3, MPQ, IDAS-II).
Comprehensive record review, integration of past medical/psychiatric findings.
Psychological assessment report with tailored psychotherapy treatment recommendations.
Ongoing individual psychotherapy with Dr. Marquardt is not a requirement for participation in group psychotherapy.

38–52 minute interview with feedback.
Assessment of symptoms (e.g., IDAS-II, PROMIS).
Intake documentation assessing eligibility.
Group psychotherapy session:
90–120 minutes ($135).
The 'Blueprint for Living Group' involves 3 modules, 9 weeks each (27 sessions) and the 'Rekindling Joy Group' involves 9 sessions. Self-report measures are used before and after treatment to help people better appreciate their improvement.
I offer extended psychological assessments for individuals with complex or unclear clinical presentations. These evaluations are especially helpful in cases involving trauma, anxiety, or treatment-resistant depression. For example, I conduct comprehensive assessments for PTSD using the CAPS-5 semi-structured interview.
These assessments are often requested by other providers to support treatment planning, diagnostic clarification, or decision making around functioning. Each report is personalized to the referral source with clear, research-informed recommendations that can support the recovery of your patients.
