“Our experience with Maria has been exceptional. She shows up as herself, is always direct, and brings solutions whenever we need guidance on how to work through a challenge. I don't know how she keeps up with all of the information we share with her, but each time we meet, it's obvious that she is detail oriented and always truly "taking in" what we share. We have only been seeing Maria for a little while, and already we can feel the impact of our sessions with her in our daily lives.”

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.
