We advised that you contact your insurance company and inquire about your mental health benefits and copay. Our office will verify your insurance coverage. ***If your insurance company does not pay the reimbursement rate for services, then you are responsibility for any remaining balance on the account.*** Due to the high incidence of unreported deductibles and the fact that some insurance may not cover certain services, our office requires payment upfront.

The intake process is vital to the formation of any counseling relationship. The intake process is the foundation upon which the structure of the therapeutic relationship is built. The intake form helps both the counselor and the client with obtaining a clear focus on past and present concerns, and it informs the counselor as to the direction to take in the counseling process.

Please arrive to your appointment at least 10 mins early with photo id, insurance card and payment method. If the session is for a minor child due to divorce or separation, also bring any paperwork regarding custody. You will also be asked to complete the intake forms, if you have not done so, via our Client Portal. Your initial session will last up to 50 minutes. During this session, your therapist will ask you to describe your concerns and what you hope to gain from counseling. This is the opportunity for you and the counselor to work on a care plan. At the end of the session the therapist will give you his/her recommendation for your next visit.

Frequency of visits is based on your unique needs, impact of your concerns, on your life and your desire toward healing and wellness. With your input, a care plan will be established for you during your first few visits. This care plan will develop your goals/intentions and establish benchmarks for your desired outcome. We recommend weekly appointments for our new clients. This allows us to establish a positive therapy relationship, and provides the appropriate time to create your treatment/care plan. As you meet your benchmarks, you and the therapist will work together on evaluating your progress and scheduling maintenance appointments.

All sessions are 50 minutes long.
