Goal:
- To help children and their families deal with emotion and behavior regulation concerns through combinations of play and cognitive-behavioral therapy, behavioral management, and parent consultation.
- To help individuals understand and manage their depression, anxiety, trauma or other mental health challenges to improve day-to-day life and long-term happiness, and achieve a higher level of satisfaction and healthier functioning.
Format:
- An initial intake evaluation is conducted to assess concerns and broad areas of functioning and strengths of each individual/family and their surrounding environment.
- After the initial evaluation, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, or as-needed sessions are scheduled depending on each individual/family's needs.
- Most adult/parent consultation sessions are conducted online with those residing in Virginia, while in-person sessions for child clients.
- Please be aware that we do NOT provide medications. The therapist may consult with the prescribing physicians prior to and during treatment.
Cost:
- $200 for initial intake (90 min). $175 for 45-50 minute session, $200 for 60 minute session, $225 for 80 minute session. Selected insurance plans may be accepted (see below "Payment Methods and Insurance Plans").
- There are usually separate fees associated with preparing written documentations (for benefits, work, court, etc) that are not covered by insurance (see below).
Hours and Clinicians:
- Due to limited availability, we will send you information about our child psychologist and her hours when the initial contact is established.
Assessment/Written Documentations
Payment Methods and Insurance Plans
- We provide a brief evaluation for selected cases using questionnaires, interviews, and observations. We do not provide comprehensive educational or neuropsychological assessments.
- Fees are varied depending on specific requirements and will be discussed with you. Below are some guidelines.
- $100 per page for filling out forms provided.
- $350 ~ $550 for a short summary/letter describing current psychological functioning and difficulties.
- $550 ~ $2,500 for an evaluation requiring multiple assessment tools and a written report.
Payment Methods and Insurance Plans
- Services are provided on self-pay basis, i.e., fees are due at the beginning of each session. We provide receipts for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. You will be responsible fore obtaining reimbursement.
- A limited number of insurance cases are accepted. Please verify your behavioral health benefits, Co-pay, and deductible with the insurance company and that Dr. Emi Furukawa is listed as an in-network provider under your plan. Once you verify, talk to us about using your insurance.
- Even when insurance is used, you will be responsible for fees for additional services that are not covered by insurance, such as shorter communications (e-mail or phone consultation), written statements for court, workplace or school testimony, and travel and waiting time if required.
- When we schedule an appointment for you, we set aside that block of time for you exclusively. To make our practice viable, we generally require 24 hours notice for a cancellation; otherwise, you will be charged $25.
