Understand our insurance information

For clients who are using insurance, all co-pays and deductibles are due at the time of service. 

It is your responsibility to know your insurance benefits. This can be verified by contacting your insurance company about your specific coverage and plan.  Most insurances will require a mental health diagnosis for reimbursement. Diagnosis are part of your permanent insurance record. Some services people come to seek in counseling are not reimbursed by insurances.

Mental health is an important part of your overall health. Therefore, medical insurance covers psychotherapy in the same way that it covers physical health needs. Health insurance will only cover services that are "medically necessary," which means that a diagnosis must be present and communicated to your insurance company.  Insurance companies also have a right to view treatment plans and other protected health information upon request

If you do not wish to bill insurance, I also accept self-pay. 

The full session fee is due at the time of service. Payment can be made via cash, check, credit card, or debit card

For your convenience, your counselor will take a credit card on file at first session which may be automatically charged after each appointment upon your authorization. Credit card is kept in a secure, electronic health record, which is HIPAA compliant.
