“I had my first session with Shelly today. I was anxious and overwhelmed going in but Shelly listened to me. I mean she really listened. Before I knew it, I was relaxed and talking and working on a game plan with her and by the time the session was over I felt relief and hope. I am excited to work with her.”

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.
