The fee for the assessment is $2,250.

The Counseling Assessment fee includes:

a. PrepMatters $95 new client registration fee, where applicable

1. Further Assistance: After the Counseling Assessment is complete, Maureen is available to provide à la carte services (in office or by Skype/phone) at $325 per hour. PrepMatters counselors charge for all of the time they dedicate to each client and bill by the hour in 15-minute increments. This structure is designed to give our clients the freedom to use our services as much or as little as needed.

2. Client Registration: PrepMatters requires pre-service registration. For your convenience, we are happy to provide registration assistance, and ask that you call us to set up your account. This process will require about two minutes of your time and must be completed before your student receives services from PrepMatters. *Registration is complete*

3. Payment: PrepMatters policy is for clients to pay by credit card. A payment of $2,250 will be processed in advance of your first meeting so that Maureen can begin the Counseling Assessment record review. Payment processing for any sessions post-Counseling Assessment will be charged the day after the session.
