Getting to know Dr. Alena Schabes

I am a clinical psychologist with a PsyD in Mental Health Counseling from Alliant International University, specializing in individual and family therapy. I use these skills to help people identify and get un-stuck from problem cycles. I employ the strengths and resources that you bring to therapy and help you learn new tools to thrive in whatever life situation you find yourself in. To get the most out of our meetings, I may ask you to collect information between sessions, take notes, or practice skills so we can improve your functioning in areas that you feel are important in your life. I regularly ask for feedback to ensure that our sessions provide the benefits you expect. For children under 12, parents are usually involved in most, if not all, sessions. For teens, we collaborate to include parents or other contacts to improve outcomes if that is the most effective way to reach your goals. For adults, I can work with families or partners as well. Prior to our first session, it is essential for you to complete some screening forms in advance. I accept insurance as well as private pay, where you can request reimbursement if possible. My appointments are virtual only at this time.

In-network insurances

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
