“I’m very excited to start my doctor patient relationship with Janie. I had my first appointment with her earlier today. She seemed very professional, ethical, and legitimately concerned about helping me, even if that meant that she wasn’t the right for me. Thankfully, I think she’ll be able to meet all of my needs! We discussed my expectations and the type of services that she provided. Since she specializes in ADHD, she will be helping me manage my medication and my daily experiences with that condition. I really appreciated how kind and understanding she was throughout our introductory meeting. It is also helpful that she can see me virtually. I always try to find doctors that are near my work so the commute is quick, but you can’t beat virtual! :)”

Taking the necessary steps in your mental health journey can feel daunting at times, but with the right tools, resources, and mindset, you can find not only hope but also lasting success and fulfillment.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

About Your Care: We collaborate to determine the root cause of your symptoms. At your first appointment, I will conduct a comprehensive review of your history and background, then provide professional recommendations on the best approach moving forward. At follow-up appointments, we will evaluate progress and make adjustments as needed. Coverage & Insurance: For clients using commercial insurance, all claims, billing, and insurance processing are managed securely through Headway, a trusted national platform. After scheduling your first appointment, you will receive a secure link from Headway to enter your insurance and payment information. Headway verifies your benefits, submits claims, and manages copays, coinsurance, and deductibles. Any patient responsibility will be automatically processed through the payment method you provide to Headway. This ensures your insurance is billed accurately, so you don’t need to handle claims directly with our office. If you opt for self-pay, billing will be handled separately according to our financial policy. Missed Appointment Policy: Your appointment time is reserved just for you. Missed appointments or cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice are subject to a no-show or late cancellation fee. Fees are the responsibility of the client and cannot be billed to insurance. A card may be securely kept on file and will only be used for these non-covered fees. Intake Documents: All intake documents will be sent to your email within 24 hours of booking your appointment. Please complete these prior to your first session to ensure a smooth start.

    More information on payments and coverage

    Out-of-Network Superbilling If you are out of network, you have the option to use superbilling. A superbill is a detailed receipt that includes your CPT codes and diagnosis, which your insurance company uses to determine reimbursement. Here’s how it works: -You pay for the full visit at the time of service. -You receive a superbill (receipt) from us. -You submit the superbill to your insurance company. -If eligible, your insurance company reimburses you directly. Important: Be sure to check with your insurance provider first to confirm: -Whether you have out-of-network mental health benefits. -What percentage of the session cost they reimburse. -The process for submitting a superbill for reimbursement.
