I do not have health insurance. Can you still help me?

Yes. Please ask about our reduced rate for selected providers. If we are unable to help, we can provide information to other counseling offices.

My insurance plan has a large deductible that I can not pay. Do you have options for me?

Yes. Please ask about our reduced rate for selected providers.

I have never attended a therapy session, what should I expect at the first visit?

You can expect that we will want to get to know you. This might include asking you questions about your background, your goals for therapy, and what the concerns are that initiated the call to our office. However, the main focus for your therapist at the first appointment is to begin building a relationship with you.

What do I bring to my first appointment?

Yourself, and in some cases your spouse or family members. We also ask that you verify your insurance benefits prior to your appointment (see below) as well as completed the paperwork sent to you by our office via our Client Portal. If you choose not complete the paperwork through the Client Portal, copies of our intake and consent forms are also available for download on our Forms page, and hard copies are always available in office. All forms must be completed prior to your appointment time. Please arrive to your appointment at least 15-20 minutes early if you would like to fill out your paperwork in person.

What is your confidentiality policy?

We will not share your personal information without your permission. There are, however, exclusions which include immediate death threats to yourself or an individual as well as abuse of a child or the elderly. Also, we can not guarantee confidentiality when we submit a claim to your insurance company for therapy sessions at our office. Please refer to our Notice of Privacy Practices.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please provide us with greater than 24-hours notice to cancel an appointment in order to avoid any fees.

Will my insurance pay for counseling?
