We no longer accept insurance. This was a difficult decision for us, as we understand that insurance can be a major consideration for many of our clients. The increasing limitations of coverage and frequently denied services to clients who actually need help is what ultimately led to our decision to end contracts with insurance companies. Further, the rigid guidelines of the insurance companies prevent an individualized treatment approach. We feel our clients deserve more than a one-size-fits all approach.
We are considered an out-of-network provider. Cost should never get in the way of therapy, which is why we help each client understand their out-of-network insurance benefits from the start. If you have a PPO-type plan and want to submit a claim for out-of-network reimbursement, we can give you a receipt, or a “superbill.” Please note that submitting an insurance claim means we will need to give you or your child a mental health diagnosis, which goes into your permanent health record. You can lookup your out-of-network benefits here.

We hold a modern view of mental health treatment: one that is non-judgmental, warm, humorous, and most importantly, goal directed. We are firm believers in the healing powers of knowledge. Empowering our clients with the information they need to improve their wellbeing is the root of all our services.
We have a collaborative and therapeutic approach to assessment, with a focus on gathering only the most relevant data while emphasizing client strengths to determine the most effective supports for each client.
In therapy, we find that an eclectic approach works best, meaning we pull from a variety of theories and techniques.
We utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, and Mindfulness. We take an individualized treatment approach and collaborate with our clients on the best modalities for them.
-
No, we do not prescribe medication. We are a group of psychologists, not psychiatrists. To obtain medication, you will need to consult with a medical doctor (psychiatrist or primary care physician) or nurse practitioner in psychiatry. We will share information on the effectiveness of medication for your specific situation and provide community referrals to psychiatry as needed. If you are already taking medication, we will coordinate care with your prescribing doctor.
