FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can't find what you're looking for? Give our office a call today.
Do you offer teletherapy and telepsychiatry appointments?
Yes, we offer expansive virtual appointment booking options, depending on your or your child's treatment needs. Please always consult with your clinician and insurance provider prior to scheduling to check on coverage and co-pays directly associated with these services, as it often varies from in-person costs.
Do you see adults?
While the practice did start over a decade ago by only seeing children and adolescents, we now see all ages of clients, with a majority being adults, for both our psychology and psychiatry services. Our clinicians are educated and experienced within every age demographic.
Why integrated mental health care?
Within integrated care, there is no need for the patient to have to relay information between two different teams of mental health professionals. The patient relaying information leads to crucial insights being lost in the gap. Within an integrated care system, a single shared system encompasses all insights, enabling faster adjustments and eliminating the stress of disconnected clinics. Continue to the bottom of the service tab for more information.
Can I attend the session with my child?
You are welcome to attend and speak with your child's provider. Sometimes this may be with your child or separately as needed, during the initial session and follow-up sessions, as your relationship will continue to develop. We believe in a combined effort of care to reach the best possible outcome for you and your family.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients/clients who don’t have certain types of health care coverage or who are not using certain types of health care coverage an estimate of their bill for health care items and services before those items or services are provided, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
You can find the list of our private pay rates included under the "Patient Forms" Tab, located in our policies and procedures.
