Extended Therapy Sessions
For the moments when a standard 50-minute session gives you a start, but not enough space to fully unpack what you need to discuss.
Need more than one hour?
Some sessions need more room. Extended therapy time gives you the option to add time to your standard session when clinically appropriate and available.
Contact IntakeBecause sometimes the clock taps out before the conversation does.
There are times when a standard therapy session simply does not provide enough time to fully address what is happening in your life. You may be navigating a crisis, processing something heavy, working through relationship concerns, or needing more space to understand what you are feeling.
To better support treatment needs, JL Family Services offers extended therapy session time as an additional self-pay service beyond your standard 50-minute session.
Why is there an additional fee?
Most insurance companies only allow one psychotherapy billing service code per day. This means your insurance may cover your standard session, but additional time with your therapist is typically not submitted to insurance.
Extended therapy time is offered as a separate self-pay service so we can continue supporting clients who need more time while keeping fees clear and transparent.
Extended Session Rates
These fees are added to your standard 50-minute therapy session and are charged directly to the client at the time of the extension.
Additional time added to your standard session.
Helpful when you need more space but not a full extra hour.
For deeper processing, complex concerns, or longer clinical support.
For clients who need a longer therapeutic block of time.
Extended sessions may be a good fit when you need more room to process.
Complex Topics
When the issue has layers and 50 minutes barely gets you past the warm-up.
Relationship Concerns
When communication, conflict, family stress, or emotional disconnection needs more time.
Life Transitions
When change is hitting from every direction and you need support that does not feel rushed.
