Session Fees

My fee is $150 for individual and couples sessions.
Sessions typically run 50–60 minutes, depending on clinical need and where we are in the work. I don’t believe in rushing the process, and I’ll always do my best to protect your time and space.

Extended sessions (up to 75 minutes) are available for trauma-focused work such as EMDR or Prolonged Exposure and are billed at $200.

I reserve a limited number of sliding scale appointments based on need and availability. Please feel free to inquire.

Payment
Payment is due at the time of service. I accept credit cards, debit cards, and HSA/FSA cards.

Insurance
I am an in-network provider with Excellus BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, and United among others. If you have any insurance other than Excellus BCBS, please check Headway to confirm whether I can take your insurance: https://care.headway.co/providers/shawne-steiger?utm_source=pem&utm_medium=direct_link&utm_campaign=13685

If I am not in-network with your plan, I can provide a superbill you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

Please check with your insurance provider to confirm your out-of-network benefits.

Why Some Clients Choose Private Pay
Paying privately allows for greater flexibility and privacy in your care.
There’s no need for a formal diagnosis to begin treatment, and we aren’t limited by the number of sessions your insurance allows.
Instead, we can focus on the diagnosis—or framework—that best informs your care and helps guide meaningful change.
You have full control over the focus, pace, and duration of your therapy.

Consultation
I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
