Good Faith Estimate
Disclaimer
You are entitled to receive this Good Faith Estimate of what the charges could be for engaging in psychotherapy services with Dr. Winderman. While it is not possible to know in advance how many sessions may be necessary or appropriate, this form provides an estimate of the cost of services you may receive. Your total cost of services will depend on the type and number of psychotherapy services you attend. Please note that at the end of each session, you and Dr. Winderman will discuss your next scheduled session, and will only consent to only one session at a time. This estimate is not a contract, and does not obligate you to attend services with Dr. Winderman. It does not include any services not identified here. Additional services such as letters, reports, or coordination with other providers may incur additional charges as discussed in your consent paperwork.
This estimate does not predict or recommend that you will need a specific number of sessions. The frequency and duration of treatment depend on your needs and goals, and may change over time. You may choose to end treatment at any time. While some clients benefit from short-term work (e.g., 8–12 sessions), others may engage in therapy for several months or longer.
