Schedule time with Dr. Stan Tatkin in Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy® (PACT) sessions: 

Rates

As of March 1, 2019, Stan's weekday rate is $450 per hour; the weekend rate is $500 per hour. Unfortunately he does not take insurance, but will provide a statement if requested.

For couples

The initial session is 3 hours. Subsequent sessions (if necessary) may be 2 hours until appropriate to step down to 1 hour.

For individuals

The initial session should be at least 90 minutes (2 hours preferred).

For out-of-towners (out of state or country)

Therapy intensives can be extremely helpful under certain circumstances, but intensives should not be a replacement for ongoing therapy. The shorter and more intense the length of treatment, the more it should be regarded as consultation/counseling and not therapy. Having said that, Stan usually recommends 3-4 consecutive days in his office with about 3-4 hours per day. Stan prefers that couples have a couple therapist available in their home town for continued support and consultation. If the visiting couple is struggling with the following concerns, a phone consult is required prior to scheduling an appointment:

• Major issues with drugs/alcohol
• Post-traumatic stress syndrome (untreated)
• History of physical violence
• Major psychiatric illness (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar)
• Active suicidality or any other matter of danger to self/danger to others

For clinicians (pro-consult)

Stan is available for consultations with clinicians.
