  • What is the age range of clients you see?

  • Do you accept insurance?
    Yes. We are considered in-network providers with BCBS PPO, Blue Choice, and Lyra. Our billing manager will verify your insurance benefits prior to your first appointment, so that you know what to expect. Out of network? No problem! We are also happy to provide a superbill, which is a detailed receipt, so that you can submit to your out of network benefits for direct reimbursement. A credit card must be kept on file. Payments, including copays, are due at time of service. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice are charged the full fee ($150) and are not covered by insurance companies.
