Getting to know Allyson Shields
IMPORTANT: Thriveworks cannot provide services to clients with Medicaid coverage. If you have Medicaid, please contact your plan directly to find an in-network provider.
For all other insurance plans, Thriveworks will verify your benefits after you book through Zocdoc. If verification isn't completed before your visit, you'll be charged our self-pay rate of $200 for that session.
AFTER YOU BOOK: Complete these steps to avoid cancellation or being switched to self-pay.
1. Check your email for instructions to set up your Thriveworks account. Within your Thriveworks’ account, sign consent forms and add a valid credit card, which will be automatically charged for copays, fees, post-insurance balances, and self-pay amounts.
2. If using insurance, upload clear photos of the front and back of your insurance card.
3. Expect a confirmation call from our team to verify your information and answer questions.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Provide 48 hours advance notice to avoid the $135 late cancellation fee.
Allyson Shields is a LCMHC with more than 9 years of experience working with adults and seniors. She specializes in treating anxiety, depression, divorce-related stress, relationships, trauma, and PTSD. With Allyson, clients should expect freedom and openness in a safe environment. It is her desire that those who enter into the counseling relationship should also find keys to understanding themselves and skills to cope with the various issues that may bring them there. Allysone believes that counseling is a helping relationship, in a place where trust and mutual respect abide. Your story is important. How you feel emotionally is important. Real change happens when we allow our real selves to show up. The counseling experience requires a certain amount of vulnerability. It is Allyson's honor to provide a safe non-judgmental environment where this can take place.
