  • We are currently in network with:

    Aetna, CDPHP, MVP and Highmark

    If you choose to not use insurance, our rate is $150 per 60 minute session. You may check with your insurance carrier about Out Of Network benefits.

  • Under Section 2799-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

    · You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

    · You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

    · Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

    · If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

    · There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on this Good Faith Estimate.

    · Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.

  • Providers check for voice mail messages during normal business hours. Messages left outside of normal hours of operation will be picked up within 2 business days. If you are experiencing suicidal or homicidal thoughts, are in crisis, or need immediate help, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

  • There are several reasons why we may eventually end our professional relationship. You may decide you would prefer to work with a different provider. Your provider may reach the conclusion you would be better served working with someone else. Regardless of the case, your clinician will first discuss with you the reasons for discharging, and if you request, provide you with a list of other qualified providers. Your clinician will also extend the discharge process length if necessary based on your treatment needs, including continuing to provide emergency support for a time-limited period after you have been notified of the end of our treatment relationship.

    Please note that ongoing failure to pay for treatment, attend sessions, or communicate with your provider in a respectful and timely manner can also result in discharge from the practice. In these instances, to ensure you have continued access to care, your provider will still make every reasonable effort to get in touch with you and provide referrals to a new provider before your clinician will consider our relationship ended.

  • No mobile information or personal details will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes.

    All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

    Detailed practice policy provided to new clients at the time of scheduled intake appointment, or upon their request.
