The first session will be roughly 1 hour long. You will have some paperwork to fill out so it is suggested to arrive 15 minute early. The paperwork may also be accessed on the website. Please bring a copy of your driver’s license, credit card and insurance card. The subsequent sessions will be roughly 45 -60 minutes in length.

The length of time in therapy largely depends on the nature of the presenting problem. Some individuals have a very specific problem that can be worked through in a course of brief therapy. Other individuals see therapy as an on-going learning process and choose to be involved in therapy for a longer period.

Our staff will call your insurance and verify your benefits prior to you scheduling an appointment, this way you know what your financial obligations are before your initial appointment.

• If your insurance is not listed there may be out-of-network benefits offered by your provider. We can call to verify this information for you. Self-pay is an option and we can provide a superbill to the client so they can seek direct reimbursement from their insurance provider. The benefits from self-pay are there are no restrictions placed by an insurance provider like who you are able to work with and some people prefer to avoid having a mental health diagnosis in their medical records.
• Mental Wellness is priceless.
