Our first meeting focuses on understanding your concerns. By the end, you’ll leave with a clear recommendation: treatment, assessment, or a referral to the right specialist.
Individual sessions: $275 (1-53 minutes)
Assessment: $300 per hour (see below)
Payment:
Initial consultation: Payment is due in full at the time of scheduling.
Assessment: The full amount in your Fee Agreement is due at the time of scheduling. Please note: Learning disability testing is generally considered educational rather than medical, so this portion of the assessment is not reimbursable by insurance.
Therapy: Payment for each session is charged 24–48 hours before your appointment. If the charge is declined, the session will be canceled.
You are required to keep a form of payment on file.
We are out of network for all insurance companies. We do not bill insurance for you. If you would like a copy of the superbill to submit to your insurance, please let the office manager know.
Educational Advocacy:
Not sure whether educational advocacy is right for your family?
We offer a 30-minute initial consultation with an advocate for $50 to help you decide.
Fee: $180 per hour.
Payment: Payment for each appointment is charged 24–48 hours before your appointment. If the charge is declined, the appointment will be canceled. You are required to keep a form of payment on file.
Cancellation Policy
Cynthia Arnold, Ph.D.:
Therapy billing: Each therapy session is billed at Dr. Arnold’s full hourly rate, regardless of how much of the session is used.
Intake & Therapy cancellations:
Please cancel at least 72 hours before your appointment to avoid a late cancellation fee, which is Dr. Arnold’s current hourly rate.
One late cancellation, missed intake or therapy appointment is excused each calendar year (January 1 – December 31). After that, any late cancellation or missed appointment is billed at Dr. Arnold’s full hourly rate. This fee is not billable to insurance.
Assessment cancellations: Assessments require at least 7 days notice to cancel or reschedule. Without 7 days notice, a $500 fee is charged for the reserved assessment time and Dr. Arnold may choose not to continue with the assessment.
Location requirement: Dr. Arnold is licensed in Oregon, so you must be physically located in Oregon at the start of each session. If you are outside Oregon when a session begins, the session will be ended and a late cancellation fee will be charged.
Educational Advocacy:
Cancellations:
An advocacy appointment requires 48 hours notice of cancellation. Without 48 hours notice, there is a late cancellation Fee of $50.
IEP meetings that are rescheduled are not billed a missed session fee.
Location requirement: Advocacy clients are not required to be in the state of Oregon.
