Insurance & Self-Pay Options

We believe financial expectations should be clear and easy to understand. Our goal is to help you focus on your care while feeling informed and supported regarding costs and payment.

We accept select insurance plans. Because coverage varies, we encourage you to contact your insurance provider to understand your mental health benefits, including copays, deductibles, and any limitations.

Please provide accurate and current insurance information prior to your appointment and notify us of any changes. While we may assist in estimating out-of-pocket costs, it is ultimately your responsibility to verify your coverage.

You are responsible for:

Copays and deductibles

Services not covered by insurance

Costs associated with recommended services, such as lab work or other evaluations

If you do not see your insurance listed, we encourage you to submit an appointment request. Our team will review your information and help determine the best scheduling option for your coverage. If we are unable to accommodate your plan, we are happy to help guide you toward appropriate referral options.

We offer transparent private pay options for individuals who prefer to pay out-of-pocket or are out-of-network with their insurance.
