What We Believe

Respecting and working within the value system of each person.  Intimate relationships require each person to operate from a position of personal strength. Current problems are often logical responses to what one has experienced. It is not what is wrong with the person; it is what happened to the person.

What We Charge

Our cost for treatment is based on an established fee schedule. However, depending on circumstances, we will consider a reduced fee.

If you are in network, we will submit these claims directly to your insurance carrier.
If you are out of network, we will provide you with documentation that you can submit.

Some persons choose not to use insurance especially if personal material to be explored in therapy is of a sensitive nature or if the person has visibility in the community.  Whenever you use your insurance for mental health benefits a numeric psychiatric diagnosis must be provided to the insurance company.  Depending on one’s insurance, in network providers may have to submit treatment plans on a periodic basis which will contain more detailed information about problems and treatment.

Persons often worry about the confidentiality of this detailed personal information as it makes its way through the insurance system especially if insurance is provided by their employer.  Increasingly, efforts to establish national data banks of health care information are cited as a concern when using insurance for mental health benefits.
