Begin Care
Below you will find information about your first appointment, along with additional resources.
What to expect:
The first appointment is an in-person consultation/diagnostic evaluation session in which we will discuss your concerns, treatment needs, and background information. This process is collaborative and our therapeutic relationship will be confidential. Please complete and return the required paperwork prior to your first session. Or, if you prefer, arrive 15 minutes early to allow time to complete paperwork in the waiting room.
Scheduling
Call the office Monday-Friday from 9AM to 5PM at (773) 348-0722 or email jennifer@jenniferlevylcpc.com to schedule your first appointment. Please cancel or re-schedule appointments within 48 hours to avoid being charged in full for the missed session.
Session Fees:
The first session (consultation/diagnostic evaluation) is one hour, for a fee of $250. Subsequent individual therapy sessions are 50 minutes for a fee of $200, and couples sessions are 60 minutes for a fee of $250. There is a limited number of spaces reserved for sliding scale clients. If I am unable to offer you a sliding scale, I will provide you with referrals.
Insurance:
