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.

She listens with empathy and helps me talk about things that are uncomfortable. She gently challenges my assumptions which is something I need. I feel I'm looking at my emotional needs with more clarity. My only negative is the audio quality in our sessions has sometimes been choppy which can be distracting.

Joanne has become such a crucial part of my healing process by listening to how I feel, being empathetic, and understanding my point of view. She has also done a deep dive as to why I react or feel a certain way about the difficulties on trusting others starting from childhood trauma. I love her.
