Getting to know Joel Bugay

My focus at the outset of therapy and throughout is to provide you an open, supportive, and encouraging environment. I strive to create a safe and welcoming therapeutic setting for you to begin to process and heal. I belief that the therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance for the therapeutic journey to be effective. For this reason, building strong and collaborative trusting relationships with you is essential. It is my view that every individual is unique and arrives in therapy with their own unique strengths. I seek to empower you to identify and utilize your strengths to create meaningful change.

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.
