“First time meeting with Joy and it was good session. She recommended a few things to try to overcome me keeping things in and having more of an open dialogue with my wife. Also recommended getting out more, try more hobbies and attempt to make friends.”

“Mrs. Joy Watkins feels like home. You can literally talk to her about anything and receive direct and nurturing responses. She requires accountability and a solution based approach to your challenges, all while relating to you instead of talking AT YOU.”

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.
