Private Pay Option

Self-pay is always an option for therapy sessions. Choosing to work outside the private insurance model allows us to collaborate with you more freely on your care—without limitations imposed by insurance, such as the number of sessions, who can be included, or what’s covered.

Payments may be made via credit and debit cards, Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards.

Book a free phone consultation to learn more about how we do therapy or discuss fees or insurance—no pressure, just a conversation. We’re happy to answer any questions and help you find the right fit for your needs.
