“My anxiety was so high around finding a therapist. Merry has this peaceful, calm demeanor. It felt like the entire pace of my life slowed down. I can't emphasize enough how calm, peaceful, and kind she was--traits that I very much needed. She listened very well but also balanced this with being solution-oriented. Today was my first appointment with her but I already feel like healing is going to be possible...which in turn makes me feel calmer and more hopeful. I'll be back.”

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.
