Rates, Insurance & Hours

**Update December 2024:

I currently have a few openings for new clients who have daytime availability (before 3pm). If you would like to talk with me about becoming a new client, please email me at abbynordquistlmft@gmail.com to set up a complimentary initial phone consultation. Thank you!.

I am currently seeing clients in-person in my office at 2100 E Genesse St. in Syracuse. I am also continuing to offer virtual sessions via a HIPPA compliant platform for clients who prefer virtual, or who are sick, traveling, experiencing bad weather, etc.

Rates

$200 per 55 minute individual session

$225 per 55 minute couples session

$350 per 90 minute couples session

Insurance

Insurance does not generally cover couples or marriage counseling because they do not consider this type of therapy to be “medically necessary.”

I am also not in-network with most insurance companies and am generally considered an out-of-network provider. This means that you are responsible for fees at the time of our appointment and, depending on your plan, a certain percentage of that may be reimbursed to you by your insurance company. As a courtesy, I am happy to assist you with filing claims for out-of-network coverage. Please contact me if you would like assistance finding specific information about your out-of-network mental health benefits.

Payment

I accept cash, check and all major credit cards as forms of payment. I also accept FSA or HSA credit cards. If you have a FSA or HSA account, this is a great way to pay for therapy with pre-tax money!

Cancellation Policy

If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you will be charged the full session fee.

Care Coordination

Our initial appointment includes customary care coordination. With your permission, I will reach out to any other provider you are working with (PCP, OBGYN, chiropractor, massage therapist, etc) so that we can coordinate our treatment. This is considered best practice and will help you get the best, most holistic care.

Hours

Monday 10:30-6pm

Tuesday 9-4pm

Thursday 9-6pm

Friday 9-12pm

*Please note that late afternoon and evening appointments are in high demand – especially for couples therapy – and may not be available. Please contact me directly to ask whether I have any late afternoon or evening availability.

Any Other Questions

Please contact me for any additional questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you!
