what we treat

 “When you listen to someone, you should give up all your preconceived ideas and your subjective opinions; you should just listen to him, just observe what his way is. We put very little emphasis on right and wrong or good and bad. We just see things as they are with him, and accept them. This is how we communicate with each other.”
― Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind: Informal Talks on Zen Meditation and Practice 

Our job is to meet you where you are, hear what you have to say, and work together to find your best path forward. 

We recommend contacting your insurance plan before scheduling so that you can determine if you have a deductible, what your co-pay may be, and your overall mental health benefits. While insurance can usually help cover the costs of some portion of your therapy, most clients end up paying some amount (for example, co-pays are commonly $20 to $40 per session). If insurance fails to pay or denies payment, it is the client who becomes responsible for the entire amount. Also, given the communication of diagnoses and treatment records to third party payers, such as insurance companies  or EAP services, some clients prefer to pay cash out of pocket for their treatment to ensure the highest level of privacy and confidentiality. 

Clients who have a deductible are charged our contracted rate with your insurance company (a discounted rate from the practice's full fee for service). When you have met your deductible, then your co-insurance may pay for a percentage of the contracted rate and you will be sent an invoice for the remainder. It is the client's responsibility to understand how their insurance plan works.  Any accumulated balance can be paid to the provider you meet with or through billing links we can send you. Most insurance companies process claims within a month. Any outstanding balances are expected to be paid within 30 days. Delinquent balances are tracked on a quarterly basis and will be referred to collections after a quarter, where additional fees will be added to the principal to cover related expenses. Patients with outstanding balances greater than $250, or balances existing longer than a quarter in duration will not continue to be scheduled for further appointments.
