Insurance Matching:

  • We do not bill your insurance. However, our providers have agreed to take a substantially reduced fee if you currently have insurance.

This way, you can get the help you want at a cost you can afford.
  • The advantages to self-pay includes: no maximum number of session you may attend in any given year, no forced diagnosis required, your privacy rights are assured, you are not limited to a select few treatment methods, and prior authorization or doctor referral is required. Your privacy and choice is respected and protected when you choose to self-pay.

You are financially responsible for all services at the time service is rendered. For your convenience we can place a credit or debit card on file as your payment method to be billed after each session. If you do not want to register a payment method with us, you can choose to swipe a card at each visit, or pay by invoice. All fees are due at the time of services, and you will not be able to continue services if there is an unpaid balance on your account. We accept  Visa, Discover, and MasterCard.
