For all of our private pay clients we can provide a superbill for all out-of-network clients and couples.  If you have private insurance and would like to use your out-of-network benefits, you will be provided with a receipt of services that you may submit to your insurance company for partial reimbursement.

It is advised that you call your insurance company to verify out-of-network coverage for outpatient mental health services. Questions to ask when verifying coverage:

  • Do I have out of network mental health benefits?

  • What is my out of network behavioral health deductible?

  • Is there a limit to how many sessions per year I can see my therapist?

  • Do I require preauthorization to see my therapist?

  • What will I be reimbursed per session based on these codes: 90791; 90837; 90847

  • What’s the easiest way for me to submit my superbill for reimbursement?

Clients may pay with their Health Savings Account (HSA), check, cash, or credit card.  Payments are due on the morning of the session.

At the start of therapy, we most commonly see clients on a weekly basis.

We have found that it is most helpful for clients to begin with weekly or biweekly counseling appointments because it allows for a client to begin seeing growth without feeling like they are starting over at each visit. 

However, sometimes circumstances may dictate otherwise.  Ultimately, you get to decide.  During our initial consultation and the first few sessions, we will determine together what will work best for you.

We believe therapy is great and it shouldn’t last forever!

Everyone’s circumstances are unique to them and the length of time therapy can take to allow you to accomplish your goals depends on many factors.  In general, it can take a few months to a few years.

Our goal is for us to work hard, work smart, and work ourselves out of a job.  We want to empower you to make changes in your life that decrease suffering, increase awareness, and assist you in creating a life that aligns with your values, goals, hopes, and dreams. 

So glad you asked!

There’s no one “right” way to do therapy, but here are some ideas for you to consider. To the extent you can attempt do many of these things, often (NOT ALWAYS… no point in making perfect the enemy of the good) you’re more likely to benefit from counseling:

  • Be as open and honest as you can about your thoughts and feelings. Accept that you may feel uncomfortable at first, and that’s OK. We much prefer “I really don’t want to talk about that right now” to an untruth or denial.
  • Know that nothing is off limits. Talk about anything: sex, dreams, fantasies, fears, anger, religion, family members, co-workers, politics, resentments, drugs, anything.
  • Speaking of religion if your religious/spiritual beliefs matter to you, they matter to us.  If you have had negative experiences with religion or have no beliefs at all, we will never attempt to influence you to believe one way or another.  Ultimately, we want you to talk about whatever is important in your life.
  • Let us know if we are doing or saying something that isn’t working for you. Especially let us know if we’ve angered you in some way. We are here to help and it is super helpful to let us know when you disagree, feel angry or are frustrated. 
  • Schedule sessions consistently (once a week if possible) for at least two or three months to give yourself enough time to experience true growth and healing.
  • If there are two or three things you could talk about, start with the topic you most want to avoid. Chances are this is where you’ll experience the most benefit. When we’re comfortable, we’re not growing.

During the first session, we will talk a little more about what brought you in, and spend the first session or two determining the therapy goals together. We will also be very open and transparent about making sure you feel comfortable. If, at any time, you do not feel comfortable or that your therapist is not the best fit, your therapist will gladly help connect you with another therapist or therapists that may be better suited for you.

Yep! We sure do!  Christie provides therapy solely online while Jill & Jenny see clients in-person and online. We use a secure video system that is HIPPA compliant.
