Getting to know Abena Bediako

I love love, and I love helping people to heal. Understanding healing occurs on all levels, I've dedicated myself for the last 23 years to being a vessel to help people navigate those levels and find their peace. My calling is to help heal the minds and souls of people so they can manifest their greater and higher selves. Whether it was through the books I've written, my former vegan catering company, practicing as a doula or navigating spaces as a licensed clinical social worker, I've always understood the assignment of helping folks recognize they have the power within themselves to heal.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

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.
