Getting Started

Please email us or send us a message through our website to schedule a brief phone consultation. We will contact you within two business days. During the phone consultation we will gather more information about what you are looking for help with, answer your questions, and determine whether our center and the type of therapy we provide is an appropriate match for your needs. At the end of the call we will discuss next steps, which may include scheduling an initial session or providing referral information for other providers.

The first part of the treatment process is conducting a thorough evaluation to ensure that we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. The initial evaluation occurs during the first 1-3 sessions. The first appointment is typically 60 minutes long and begins the evaluation process. The therapist will get to know your concerns, goals for treatment, and background. At the end of the evaluation, you and the therapist will begin developing a treatment plan. If the therapist determines during the initial evaluation that our center is not the best match for your needs, we will provide you with external referrals.

Therapy sessions are typically scheduled to occur weekly for 45-50 minutes, although more frequent or longer sessions may be appropriate in certain cases and can be discussed. Your therapist will provide individualized, evidence-based therapy that is customized to your needs and preferences. You and your therapist will monitor your progress in therapy and make adjustments as needed. At your request, your therapist will collaborate with others outside the center, such as psychiatrists or teachers, to provide the best possible care.

Payments

We do not accept insurance and are considered out-of-network providers. Many health insurance plans reimburse a percentage of out-of-network mental health services. We encourage those who are interested in this option to contact their insurance company directly to obtain more information about whether their insurer offers reimbursement for out-of-network mental health services. We provide our clients with monthly billing documentation that they can submit to their insurance company for reimbursement.
