“Sandy has been exactly what I need as a therapist and overall support during this transition period in my life. She has especially helped me to begin giving myself the same grace that I give others. She has made me feel so good about my decision to get back into therapy. Def recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist with positive feedback and perspective with a gentle approach to redirecting thought patterns.”

In-network insurances

Dr. Sandy Fanning has 200+ in-network plans.

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.

I really appreciate that Sandy and all she does for me. She helps me learn healthier coping mechanisms for things I struggle with, helps me identify and acknowledge my emotions, and calls me on my stuff while remaining kind and professional. Her desire to help me grow as an individual is clear, and I have never wondered whether or not she is sincere with her efforts--I know she is.
Awesome session.
