Some clients may request, or be recommended, to participate in weekly therapy sessions, while others may benefit from therapy once every other week, or even once a month, depending on their individual needs.

For this reason, some clients are able to achieve their therapy goals within just a few sessions, while others may require a more extended period of time to achieve their desired results.

We believe that your treatment is between you and your provider. When insurance companies contract with a provider, they can dictate your treatment, and you give them access to all your notes. This can interfere with you getting the very best therapy as insurance companies are in the business of making money, not treating patients. We don’t contract with insurance companies on our end because we want to protect your information and focus on you getting the help that you want. If you’re going to use your insurance, we can still help you get reimbursed by providing you with all the paperwork you need and will guide you through the reimbursement process.
