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.

Dr. McCowan is literally the best therapist I've had thus far :). He is competent, yet warm and allows me to fully flush out my thoughts before giving feedback. He has helped me expand my mind and has challenged my though processes for the better. I typically leave sessions feeling like I have a new brain pathway lol he's really great!

Dr. Joseph McCowan has been the best therapist that I have had that asked the right questions to draw conclusions on my mindset. I have never experienced a Doctor that is able to sit back and listen and allow things to flow naturally and then stop me from talking by clarifying what I am saying with a question. Then he is able to get me to connect what I am saying with how that makes me feel. This has been an amazing experience and I look forward to working with him for a substantial amount of time.
