If you are uninsured, have out-of-network benefits, or have financial concerns, I understand that therapy is an investment. A limited number of sliding scale appointments may be available based on need. If cost is a concern, I encourage you to reach out so we can discuss your options.
If you're unsure whether your insurance is accepted or have questions about payment, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm happy to help you determine the best path forward.
