“My husband and I made an appointment for couples and individual therapy with Lesa. Our first session with Lesa went very well. We both felt very comfortable talking to her from the beginning. She gives off a very authentic and understanding attitude and asks intentional questions. We both felt very safe in speaking with her and are hopeful for the future sessions.”

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.
