Currently, we do not accept insurance. However, if you have out-of-network benefits, we may be able to assist you in obtaining reimbursement for services. Additionally, we are in the process of becoming credentialed with Optum CCN, the VA community care network, to better serve veterans and their families. Please check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage and reimbursement options.

Many therapists choose not to accept insurance due to lower reimbursement rates, significant administrative burdens, restrictions on treatment options, and concerns about client confidentiality. Additionally, delays in payment, inflexible fee structures, and the impact on the therapeutic relationship can make private pay a more attractive option for both therapists and clients. This allows therapists to provide personalized care without the constraints of insurance companies.

Out-of-network insurance benefits allow clients to receive partial reimbursement for services from providers not contracted with their insurance company. Clients pay the provider directly and then submit a superbill—a detailed invoice with service and payment information—to their insurer for reimbursement. The amount reimbursed depends on the client’s insurance plan and out-of-network benefits. A superbill includes provider and client details, service descriptions, and diagnosis codes. This process offers flexibility but requires clients to manage payment and reimbursement independently.

Evidence based modalities, such as CBT and EMDR, are modalities that have been supported by research and clinical studies demonstrating their effectiveness in treating various psychological issues.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy technique that helps individuals heal from trauma and distressing memories. During EMDR, a therapist guides the client to recall traumatic events while engaging in specific eye movements or other bilateral stimulation. This process helps reprocess the memories, reducing their emotional impact and promoting healthier integration.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It helps individuals understand how their thoughts influence their emotions and actions. By challenging and modifying these thoughts, CBT aims to promote healthier thinking and coping strategies, leading to improved mental health and well-being.
