“I met with Avis for the first time today. She was very warm and welcoming right off the bat but also straight forward and let me know she’s looking for a solution for me long term. I’m really looking forward to spending more time with her and working through my issues to find my way back to a more balanced me.”

“I really appreciate Avis listening to my concerns and taking them into consideration when discussing my treatment plan. I feel comfortable talking with her and have never felt pressured to do I did not want to do. She is very non judgmental. If she doesn’t understand what you mean, she will ask more questions to better understand you. I highly recommend Avis for anyone struggling with depression, anxiety, fatigue or addictions.”

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.
