NEW PATIENTS

We are a self-pay practice and do not accept insurance. We are not an in-network provider with any insurance, nor do we work directly with insurance companies. Being a self-pay practice helps maintain privacy and quality care for our clients.

If you are an individual with a PPO plan, we can provide you (the client) with a superbill upon request, which you can self submit to your insurance provider. Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, some services may be covered in full or in part. Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services.

If you’d like to determine your benefits, these are a few questions you can ask your insurance provider:

1. Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?

2. Does my plan cover psychotherapy and/or family therapy?

3. Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it, and have I met it yet?

4. Does my plan limit the amount of sessions I can have in a calendar year? If so, what is the limit?

5. Do I need written approval from my primary care physician for services to be covered?

Important information: Insurance companies require a formal diagnosis to apply for reimbursement. Moreover, your insurance company may ask for your therapy records. Since the majority of our clients desire a high level of privacy, this can be undesirable. We often find the client seeking our services doesn't meet the criteria for a formal diagnosis or is only experiencing situational mental health issues. The diagnosis would stay in your insurance records without the possibility to amend or change it, even after the circumstances in your life have improved. Self-pay provides the provision of services without the restrictions of insurance regulations, insurance adjusters, or their third-party adjusting agencies.
