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.

Melanie has helped us open some very difficult areas of our relationship. She does this with sensitivity, directness and humor.
Melanie has helped us open some very difficult areas of our relationship. She does this with sensitivity, directness and humor.
Her warm demeanor allows for comfortability to discuss not so comfortable topics. While I’ve only been seeing her for a short time of less than a year, I know that during our sessions, I’m being heard and understood with a goal plan to work on things. A huge difference between Melanie and past therapists is she actually takes the time to acknowledge my growth and improvements.
Melanie is an amazing therapist and exactly what I needed it when I needed it. She always has new fresh ideas to share with me. I am blessed to have found her!!
She asks the right questions no matter how hard they are. Solution oriented. If you don’t have time to play games with your relationship seek her out my partner, and I are definitely moving forward.
I appreciate Melanie’s style of providing specific suggestions and solutions for working through issues that come up, and her ability to use humor to help make it feel more comfortable.
