Do you accept insurance?

We are happy to submit your appointments to your insurance company or provide you with a super-bill to submit to insurance yourself. Different clinicians may be in-network with different insurance companies. If you would like to bill insurance, it is your responsibility to check with your insurance company to review your benefits for mental health counseling and ensure that your clinician is in-network with your particular plan.

How long does counseling take?

We cannot predict how long it will take you to meet your treatment goals, although a good rule of thumb is to expect to start with six sessions. If the problem is new (i.e. anxiety regarding a global pandemic, but generally felt fine before), then treatment tends to be shorter. If the problem has been around for a while (i.e. anxiety regarding a global pandemic, but have lifelong depression), then treatment tends to take longer.
