Do you accept insurance?

Our therapists do not accept insurance, however a few of our therapists do accept Tricare/Triwest insurance only. In addition, our therapists can provide to you what is called an “Insurance Super Bill”. This allows you to submit information needed by your insurance company to apply for reimbursement. Your insurance company will then decide how much is reimbursable or applied to your deductible. Please note that anytime you use your insurance (in network, out of network, and superbills) you must meet the DSM 5 medical diagnosis to be covered by insurance. This diagnosis becomes a part of your perminant record.
How long do sessions last?

We typically see clients once a week for 50 minutes. However each client is unique and you and your therapist will disucss the frequency and length of sessions together.
Do I have to come into the office?

No! While we do encourage clients to come to the office we do understand that sometimes that can be difficult. Our therapists offer teletherapy sessions as well as home and school based sessions. Due to Covid19 all of our therapists are offering teletherapy session only at this time.
