The typical individual therapy session runs within about 5 minutes of an hour.  Therapy sessions for couples or families may run longer occasionally but mostly do not.  The charge for all of these is $100/hour. Time over an hour is charged proportionately. The first session is a flat fee of $110.00. These rates are consistent with rate averages charged by local social workers and marriage counselors.

Mr. Zenner is a short-term counselor, meaning that his typical number of contacts with both individuals and couples is under 8 sessions. Some are seen more sessions, some less. No one can promise exactly how long it will take you to get satisfactorily back on track.  Over the course of a three-month period we're probably talking of investing less than $800, the cost of a fancy TV, a computer, or a car repair. It is a matter of priorities and values. What is the price of a divorce lawyer?  What is the price of peace of mind?  You may find slightly lower rates, but not likely in combination with 35 years of professional experience.

Payment Options: Cash ($110/$100 or Check ($110/$10) or Visa ($110/$10)

Payment Plan: ($110*$50/$50) After paying $110 for the first session, payment will then be made at the rate of $100 a session, in the form of $50 at the session, plus $50 per session accumulating. This “tab” is not to exceed $200. After terminating therapy, $50 payments continue on the first of each month until the balance is paid in full.

 Appointment Cancellation: Kindly give 24 hours notice if you cannot keep an appointment, Understand that if you fail to do this you will be charged the full fee for sessions missed because this time is reserved for you.  I balance this with a counteroffer.  If  I change an appointment without 24 hour notice, I will give you a session free of charge.  I place a lot of emphasize on keeping agreements.  About 10 times in my 23 years of private practice I got my wires crossed, or something came up of vital importance and I was late in notifying a client.  He or she then received a free session.
