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.

Pretty on point about what was going on between each of us. Got a feel for us pretty quick. Accurate interpretations. We got into the session very quickly and it didn’t feel like it was weeks worth of not finding the problem. Getting the quick starting solutions.

Provided much needed insight into my own mind and felt as I was speaking to an educated intelligent older friend rather than feeling clinical. Look forward to next session.
