Frequently Asked Questions

Do you take insurance?

 

We do not participate with insurance agencies. Some insurance plans will cover the cost of an out of network provider for therapy services. You can call your member services line on the back of your insurance card to see if your plan covers services with out of network providers, as well as what percentage of the agreeable fee they will reimburse.

​

Our Therapy Intensives are designed to decrease the overall amount of time that an individual is enrolled in therapy, which ultimately makes our services more cost effective than traditional therapy. In fact, one hour of EMDR can achieve one year's worth of CBT.​

What's the investment, and how long does therapy last?

​​​

Session length is determined by what level of emotional containment supports your clinical needs best. All sessions begin with a 90-minute assessment ($375) to get a fuller picture of your presenting concerns, identify your goals for treatment, and determine together the best approach to meet those goals.

​What can I expect during my first session?

​

Our Therapeutic Intensives are an individualized process. What this means is that there is no specific structure for your time together, as it is 100% dependent on your individual nervous system and your clinician’s training and style.

 

Generally, clients can expect that their first appointment will have a rapport building atmosphere where establishing a trusting relationship will be prioritized. This process includes you disclosing information that is relevant to what you’d like to get from this process. It’s important that clients understand that there is not the expectation to share an entire history, as we know how re-traumatizing that can be, but rather sharing what symptoms they’re experiencing, where they receive support and strength in their lives, and what their goals are.

 

From here, the clinician may provide some education around the neuroscience of these symptoms and begin to explain how they can help. Most times, this organically will lead into a practice exercise, using the modality that your clinician specializes in. At the end of your time together, you can expect to debrief on how the overall process was and the frequency of scheduling moving forward.​​
