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.

Best therapist I’ve had thus far. He’s warm and pleasant. Explains expectations and asks open ended questions to get me thinking or find a new perspective on my thoughts, feelings, past and solutions. I’ve been enjoying my therapy because of Jerry.

Jerry really helped me to find what the roots caused my problems and gave me the solutions, at the same time helped me how to thinking the conflicts from different directions. His therapy works for me.
