    *A time slot that is confirmed is time dedicated to you. You are responsible for 100% of a canceled session’s fee if an appointment is not kept for any reason without at least a 24-hour advance notice. Insurance does not pay for cancellations of this nature.

  • Is therapy for me?

    Therapy relies on a shared belief that talking helps. Some people enter therapy because they are experiencing a crisis, they feel alone and misunderstood. Some people enter therapy because they feel stuck in some aspect of their life and need help sorting through it. Some people are naturally inquisitive and want to better understand themselves and consequently those around them. If any of the above resonated with you, therapy may be beneficial in developing insight and awareness into your situation or circumstance.

  • Counseling v. Psychotherapy? What's the Difference?

    They are often interchangeable. In the most traditional sense "counseling" is short-term (3-6 months) treatment focused on correcting problem behavior. "Psychotherapy" is generally more focused on physical and emotional issues that are chronic in nature and as a result require more ongoing treatment. Psychotherapy addresses the ways in which one perceives the world and works to shift perceptions in a way that is more beneficial to one's emotional health.

Good Faith Estimate Disclosure

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
