The Investment
The investment in psychotherapy goes well beyond financial cost. In addition to paying fees, you will also be asked to invest by:
-
Giving your time and patience.
-
Being fully present in the process.
-
Being open to learning and growing as a parent.
-
Being more vulnerable than you've ever been with any therapist your child has seen before.
From my part, clients can expect for me to invest:
​
-
My time and undivided attention.
-
My space: a cozy, welcoming, sensory-friendly office.
-
My current expertise that I gained by years of study and direct experience.
-
My own financial investment in continuing education and consultation to better serve your child's unique needs.
-
Precious real estate in my brain.

Slow Down Psychology, LLC is not paneled with any insurance companies.
Please note that insurance companies often use outdated information, and some still show Dr. Stephanie Olarte as paneled under a previous employer (where she hasn't worked since 2021).
Upon request, we offer full support with verifying out of network benefits, and submitting superbills on the clients' behalf. This saves our clients the time and hassle of recouping the costs from their insurance companies, free of charge.
No show fees: A no show is an unplanned absence from our session, a cancellation with fewer than 48 hours notice, or arriving more than 15 minutes late to a session without prior notice. "No shows" are subject to paying their full fee for the session scheduled (and not reimbursable by insurance).
​
Clients are expected to keep a credit card on file, and payment is due at the end of each session.
