At this time, we are out-of-network with insurance plans in order to provide the quality and type of care that we can stand behind. In parallel, we advocate at the national level for increasing mental health parity and accessibility to quality mental health care and hope to in the future to be able to work in a more aligned way with all stakeholders. Meanwhile, we do provide “superbills” for out-of-network reimbursement for covered services if your plan has this benefit (e.g. a PPO plan) and are happy to provide guidance regarding plan selection. Our technology partner, Osmind, can also submit these superbills to insurance companies on your behalf if your prefer.
We accept all major credit cards, HSA/FSA cards, checks, cash.
We are happy to partner closely with therapists interested in working in a collaborative model but are not hiring staff therapists at this time to work directly at the practice. We are not working with trainees at this time but might explore more educational support opportunities in the future.
