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

Rates

Unfortunately he does not take insurance but will routinely provide superbills for your insurance company.

For Couples

A 30-minute telehealth video interview is required prior to scheduling a therapy appointment with Stan. Both partners must attend. The call will serve as a meet and greet for all parties.

After the required 30-minute phone call, the initial session is 3 hours. Subsequent sessions (if necessary) may be 2 hours until appropriate to step down to shorter meetings.

For Individuals

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

For Telehealth Sessions

In preparation for an online session, please make certain of the following: 

  1. You are both in front of the camera (and in one location). 
  2. Your internet connection is very good. 
  3. Your faces are well lit. 
  4. You are both audible. 

For Intensives

Counseling intensives can be extremely helpful under certain circumstances, but intensives should not be a replacement for ongoing counseling. 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 will see couples for a counseling intensive over 2 consecutive days (Wednesday and Thursday) 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.

For Clinicians (Professional consultation)

Stan is available for consultations with clinicians. 

Make an Appointment

Stan’s online scheduler is self-serve. This means that clients schedule, cancel, and reschedule appointments themselves online. There is no staff to do this for you. If, after the 30 minute meet and greet you decide you would like to see Stan, you can schedule an appointment.

When you get to the online scheduler, you will be asked to create a username and password. This is for your privacy. When scanning Stan's available times, make sure to select the button that blocks 3 hours. Weekends (including Fridays) are rarely available due to his teaching schedule. When available, out-of-towners have priority.

Cancellations

If you need to miss a scheduled appointment, you must cancel at least 72 hours before your scheduled appointment time. You will be unable to cancel with less than 72 hours before the scheduled session. This means you will be charged for the appointment. Phone calls, emails, or text messages to Stan or anyone else will not count as cancellation of your appointment. You must cancel or change your appointment online.
