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 have struggled finding the right therapist. One that would make me feel comfortable as well as my culture. Easy to talk to.

Cristina is great. I never feel judged by her and she actively works to find ways to bring new things in to talk about. She gives me time in the beginning to direct a session but if I'm struggling she is able to help me out.
