Private Pay Services
I’m Dr. Emelina Belle, a PhD-level psychotherapist offering highly specialized care for individuals and couples navigating betrayal trauma, affair recovery, and compulsive sexual behavior. My work is grounded in advanced clinical training and designed to support deep emotional healing, relational repair, and the restoration of trust and intimacy.
This practice is intentionally private-pay and reserved for clients seeking expert, high-touch therapeutic care.
A Distinct Level of Care
Advanced Clinical Specialization. My work is informed by doctoral-level training and advanced certifications in betrayal trauma, sex therapy, and couples recovery. I specialize in complex relational dynamics that require precision, containment, and clinical depth.
Intentional, High-Acuity Treatment Sessions are carefully structured and emotionally attuned, addressing trauma responses, attachment injuries, and relational rupture with clarity and care. This is focused, results-oriented work for clients ready to engage in meaningful change.
Privacy, Discretion, and Safety. All services are provided in a confidential, supportive environment where sensitive personal and relational concerns are treated with the utmost respect.
Therapy is an investment in your emotional well-being and long-term relational health.
My fees reflect the level of training, preparation, and specialized expertise required to guide clients through complex and emotionally demanding work.
Fees & Payment (Out-of-Network Provider)
I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. Payment is due at the time of service.
Psychotherapy Session Fees
Individual Therapy (50 minutes): $300
Couples Therapy – Specialized Care (50 minutes): $400
Couples Therapy – Specialized Care (80 minutes): $650
I accept major credit cards.
Upon request, I am happy to provide a Superbill for you to submit to your PPO insurance plan for potential partial reimbursement. Insurance coverage varies by plan, and clients are responsible for verifying their own out-of-network mental health benefits.
Saturday Premium Appointments
Saturday appointments are available with a 30% premium surcharge per session. These limited appointments are offered on a first-come, first-served basis and are designed for clients requiring flexibility outside standard weekday hours.
Cancellation & Attendance Policy
48 Hours / Two Business Days Required
Your appointment time is reserved exclusively for you. Clinical preparation includes reviewing intake materials, assessments, and treatment planning to ensure high-quality care.
To cancel or reschedule an appointment, a minimum of 48 hours’ (2 business days’) notice is required.
Appointments canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice, or missed appointments, will be charged the full session fee.
Examples:
A Monday 9:00 AM appointment must be canceled by Thursday at 9:00 AM.
A Wednesday 6:00 PM appointment must be canceled by Monday at 6:00 PM
A same-week make-up appointment may be offered. If the make-up appointment is declined or missed, the full session fee will apply.
True emergencies will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Clients are responsible for contacting the practice via text, voicemail, or email to cancel or reschedule within the required timeframe.
Electronic appointment reminders are sent 48 hours in advance. For telehealth sessions, the secure video link will be included in the reminder email.
Late Arrival Policy
If you arrive late, the session will still conclude at the scheduled end time, and the full session fee will apply.
For example, arriving 15 minutes late to a 50-minute session results in a 35-minute session billed at the full rate.
