FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do you pronounce your last name?
My last name is pronounced as if it were "Dy'-bis". You can call me "Dr. Dybicz" or "Marty".
What is the best way to reach you? Please call me at 816-590-9545. If I don't answer, please leave me a confidential voicemail message with your phone number(s), and I'll call you back.
What are your hours?
I see clients between the hours of 7am and 5pm Monday through Thursday and 7am to 1pm on Friday.
What are your fees?
My fees for new psychotherapy, counseling, and consultation clients are $120 per hour. Fees for classes, workshops, and talks vary with location, format, and size. (Please see the "Presentations" page for currently scheduled offerings and their costs.) There is no fee for the regularly scheduled public meditation gatherings, though you can make a donation if you would like (see the "Meditation Schedule" page). Fees for private meditation services are $60 per 1/2 hour.
Do you accept insurance? Many insurance plans and employee benefit plans reimburse for my psychotherapy services. Please call your plan, give them my name and address, tell them that I am a licensed Ph.D. psychologist, and ask them how much they will reimburse you for the fees you pay me. I collect your payment at the time of service (cash or check) and provide you a detailed receipt you can use to file the claim with your insurance company. The insurance company reimburses you.
Where do I come for appointments?
My office is in the Unity Temple Building at 707 West 47th Street in the Plaza area of Kansas City, MO. It's at the corner of 47th and Jefferson. There is a large parking garage just west of the building. I will tell you where the reception area is when we set up the appointment on the phone.
What approach do you use in the sessions?
