We accept the following insurance providers for counseling services:
Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, UMR, WebTPA, and Optum.

For clients with other insurance providers, the full session fee of $150 will be charged at the time of service. We will provide a superbill, which includes all the necessary information for you to submit a claim directly to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. In most cases, reimbursement checks are mailed directly to the client.

Following the initial appointment, we typically recommend meeting weekly or every other week, depending on your needs and goals. While this may vary based on individual circumstances, we’ve found that more frequent sessions in the early stages of therapy help build a strong therapeutic relationship and often lead to faster, more meaningful progress.

Adolescent (07 years+), teen, adult, and elder clients. 

Your first session with us is an initial intake appointment designed to help us get to know you (and/or your child, depending on age). We’ll begin by discussing what led you to seek therapy and any previous experiences you may have had with counseling.

​

We’ll also explore lifestyle factors such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, social connections, and hobbies to gain a well-rounded understanding of your life.

​

During this session, your therapist will explain their therapeutic approach, review confidentiality policies—including situations where we are legally required to break confidentiality for safety reasons—and work with you to create a preliminary treatment plan. We’ll also schedule future appointments based on your preferences and clinical needs.

New clients must email or call to set up an initial appointment. Established clients are able to request appointments through their client portal. Appointment requests can be made up to 2 months in advance and will be accepted or denied by your provider depending on availability. If an appointment request is denied, your provider will contact you with alternate scheduling options.

The testing protocol varies depending on the individual client’s needs. The process always starts with an initial intake assessment, and concludes with a test results session where the testing results are reviewed with the client/parent(s) in their entirety. A comprehensive report is also provided to the client/parent(s) for their records or to provide to their doctor, school, etc. These are both standard 50-minute sessions at the regular session fee.

Insurance providers typically do not cover this type of testing; however, coverage depends on your individual plan. I always recommend contacting your insurance provider to see if they have any preferred providers in the area who are covered under your plan.
The testing process can typically be completed within 4 to 6 weeks of scheduling the intake assessment.​
