Getting to know Dr. Wayne Siegel
I have over 32 years of experience working as a clinical psychologist. The bulk of my career was spent at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, where I provided comprehensive, evidence-based psychological assessment and intervention for a range of mental health difficulties, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, substance use, sleep, chronic pain, personality disorders, and psychosis. In addition to my clinical work, I served as the overall Director of Training for the APA-accredited doctoral internship and postdoctoral residency training programs. Throughout my tenure in this position, I have had the honor of providing clinical supervision and mentorship to over 300 psychology interns and postdoctoral residents.
Since retiring from my position at the VA, I have continued to…
- Maintain a private practice providing individual psychotherapy and psychological assessment
- Serve in several volunteer leadership roles involved in the national management and coordination of psychology training and education and the overall profession of psychology
- Serve on the Minnesota Board of Law Examiners
- Serve as an adjunct professor at the University of Minnesota's Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program
- Teach graduate-level courses at local psychology doctoral programs
On a more personal note, I have a passion for travel and the thrill of discovering new culinary adventures and restaurants. Cooking, art, and photography are creative outlets that I cherish, along with a love for nature and outdoor activities. My commitment to health and an active lifestyle is evident in my lifelong engagement with endurance sports, including marathon running, cycling, ironman triathlons, and hiking. These activities not only challenge me physically but also provide a strong sense of accomplishment and joy.
What should a new client know about working with you?
**PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT ACCEPT INSURANCE $ I AM NOT ABLE TO PRESCRIBE MEDICATION**
All services are self-pay for each appointment.
The cost of services starts at $240 per 50-minute session.
Clients can request a superbill at any time, which can be submitted to an insurance company for possible out-of-network coverage. This is typically a percentage of the insurance company's allowable charge.
With over three decades of experience as a board-certified clinical psychologist, I am dedicated to improving my clients’ lives through a range of psychological treatments, all grounded in scientific research and delivered within a supportive, caring, and person-centered relationship.
My practice is anchored in the belief that my clients are more than just their symptoms or diagnoses. I collaborate closely with them to thoroughly understand their unique struggles and customize a treatment approach that utilizes proven methods to address their specific needs. My objective is to apply my years of knowledge and expertise to every individual I assist.
I have extensive experience working with adults from a diverse array of ethnic, racial, gender, sexual, and religious backgrounds. Additionally, I have developed specialized skills to address the unique challenges faced by healthcare professionals.
What is your typical process for working with clients?

If my approach and years of experience seem like the right fit, I encourage you to schedule an initial session.
I can offer a 15-minute free consultation.

This comprehensive evaluation is essential for creating a personalized, evidence-based approach that aligns with your unique needs and therapy goals.

More information on payments and coverage
**PLEASE NOTE: I do not accept insurance. The cost of services starts at $240 per 50-minute session.**
Like many other psychologists, I am an “out of network” provider and not under contract with any insurers.
A “Super Bill” can be provided upon your request. This is a receipt to send to your insurance carrier, and they will send you a reimbursement based on your out-of-network benefits. Each insurance carrier has a different method for this process, sometimes including a form that you must fill out. Please be sure to contact your insurance and learn what the process will be for you before your visit.
Fees are paid directly by credit card through a secure portal.
$240 per 50-minute individual session and $300 per couples/family session.
$340 for the initial 75-minute intake and assessment
Psychological assessments are billed at $250 per hour for records review, diagnostic interview, psychological test administration, report generation, and communication related to the assessment.
