“Friendly, easy to talk to, and always stays professional. She helps with so much and really cares for her the people that come to see her. Would recommend her instantly!”

“Viviana is nice and extremely knowledgeable. She will ask you a lot of questions and take all your needs seriously. I especially appreciate her directness. If there is something she thinks won't work or won't need, she will tell you straight up so you won't waste time. 10/10”

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
