Question 6

Do you accept insurance? How do benefits work?

Accepted Answer

We handle all aspects of insurance verification and can provide you with benefits information before beginning. We are considered an out of network provider with most insurances. If your insurance company offers out-of-network benefits, they will reimburse you for some or all of the cost of our sessions.

The best way to find out about coverage is to email us directly and we  can verify any benefits or call your insurance company directly and ask  the following:
Do I have out-of-network benefits
What is the deductible and has it been met?
What percentage of sessions are covered and what percentage co-insurance is there, if any?
How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

We are happy to assist you in coordinating out-of-network benefits with your insurance company and submit our sessions for you directly for reimbursement.

Question 7

What is your payment policy?

Accepted Answer

Payment is due at the end of each session. We accept cash, Venmo, checks and credit cards including HSA. We offer limited sliding scale fees based on availability and need.

Question 8

What should I expect at my first appointment?

Accepted Answer

In a first session, the aim is usually to get to know each other, to start to understand what has been causing you difficulties, and to reach a joint understanding of how to move forwards – this may be longer term therapy, a different type of service, or even no therapy at all.

Question 9

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

If you need to cancel an appointment, we require 48 hours notice. Since it is not always possible to fill the time reserved for you, we reserve the right to charge your usual fee if you do not give 48 hours notice and we are unable to find a time to reschedule a makeup session within that week.
