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.

Serlina is amazing and gives me nuggets to process for long after she mentions them. She's been impactful from our very first session!
It was a comforting and informative experience.

I felt very comfortable from the start to finish. Ms. Serlina is a great listener and she had great insight into my needs. She had great advice, she actually hears me and therefore was able to best advise me on the course/action plan to help me to get to where I need to be. She is very knowledgeable and was patient with me. This was my very first time with a Therapist and she gave me feel I am in a safe place. her voice was calm and soothing also. I am so glad I made the decision to go with her. I fully recommend her to anyone who needs a counselor's help.
