You deserve to choose
the therapist you prefer
Let your insurance plan
work for you

Insurance Options
Did you know that your insurance plan may provide coverage for our services, even if we are not listed on your network?  Call us for more information about this helpful benefit.

While many of our clients prefer the privacy and flexibility that comes with self-paying, some clients prefer to use their insurance.  We can provide you with documentation so that you can work with your PPO or POS insurance plan to obtain reimbursement for our services.  Do you have an indemnity plan?  These plans allow you the freedom to choose your providers.  Give us a call with any questions.  You pay your insurance company a lot of money in premiums - why not let your plan work for you?  You deserve to choose the therapist you want.  You don't have to be limited only to your plan's provider network.

Using insurance for mental health services is a highly personal choice, and it's important to know the risks and benefits involved so that you can make an informed decision.  In order to give you the most effective, most private, and most flexible services possible, we have chosen not to contract directly with insurance companies. Confidentiality is a fundamental element of effective therapy. Managed-care insurance companies require us to compromise your privacy, disclose highly personal information about you, your history, and your progress in therapy.  They often limit the number of sessions based on this information, and place constrictions on the kinds of methods that can be used in your therapy. They also require that we give you a mental disorder diagnosis to receive coverage, even if your situation doesn't warrant this diagnosis.  This mental disorder diagnosis can impact your eligibility to obtain future health and/or life insurance, and can increase your premiums and affect your overall coverage.  On the other hand, using insurance can make therapy more affordable, which can be a big help when longer-term therapy is necessary.  Again, it's a personal choice, and we're available to discuss your options so that you can make the decision that's best for you and your unique situation.  

Since we do not contract directly with insurance plans, we do not guarantee coverage or reimbursement.  Clients are responsible for insurance submissions and authorizations.  Always check with your insurance plan for confirmation of coverage. 

Fees
Our work with you goes beyond just the therapy session itself.  We develop customized treatment plans, research the latest information on best therapy practices to help you and to address your specific situation, and we confidentially (not using your name or other identifying information) consult with other professionals in our field to help increase the effectiveness of our work with you.  Our fees vary depending on the type, frequency, and duration of service.  We are happy to answer your questions, and we offer a free phone consultation.  
Please call 978-369-1013 to set up a time.
Our services often qualify for tax deductions.  Please contact your tax adviser.
